Maybe just bump it up a little? Somewhere between light and medium?

And unless you have some major issue, always feed water feed water. That alone could be your problem.

One other thing, then I'll never bother you again. If you were to top dress with the same medium your growing in might be the key to your situation. Happy growing my friend!

You're not watering nearly enough when you do. I bet that's what's causing any yellowing, if you're following the feed chart correctly.
Should be aiming to see 10% runoff or waste in pot volume, per watering.
Don't stray from the chart. Adding more nitrogen shouldn't be necessary. Mucking around with ratios shouldn't be necessary.
In my honest opinion your problem is elsewhere.
Think it's fair to say, start watering properly and adequately first off. Before doing anything else. Get proper runoff.
And after a couple more waterings think about raising your input EC, if it's lower than recommended.
If you find you're getting any wilt or droop, then I'd say you have an aeration issue too.
In that case careful raising EC. Easy to burn.
And more reason to water adequately. To help drain any salt build-up or dissolved solids.
Not so sure about water, water, feed either.
Maybe 1 water between, but 2 maybe too many.

I do get runoff and fabric gets wet fully across the bottom not just running through and dripping from one spot...pots get heavy and 3-4 days later are light again and ready for a drink

That maybe true. But you're not seeing half a gallon runoff from a 5 gallon pot, when they're getting 2 litres each per watering.
Should be seeing about 2 litres in runoff per 5 gallon pot.

So keep pouring it to them until 2 litres roughly runs from each?

I'm super weary of overwatering them as I did this early on resulting in stunted growth girls are 84 days from seed today and roughly 18 in tall maybe

Roughly...thereabouts. (10% of 5gallons)

No need. Because the chloramine will never dissipate. Use it straight out of the tap. Using Recharge can help keep a healthy fungal network in your medium.

Here are the girls today so what do you think now after seeing them?

Yes. I'd be raising my input EC with good runoff.
I think they're just hungry.
You've been feeding on the lighter side, with two waters between.
Should be pretty safe to do so in my opinion.

OK will do on next watering...other than that they look ok in your opinion?

And also I don't have an ec pen I just add suggested ML/gallon according to the feed chart

I think so.
They should snap out of it.
Recommend getting one. Handy to have.

are you still "Yes water until runoff then let dry almost completely before watering again, no schedule just when they need it "
This could be an issue also effecting your grow

Then watering issues are still at least one of your issues.
important word of advice, don't go by days, go by the plants.. Also do not let them go until they are feather light and/plants are drooping, that is a sign you are late and should have watered them sooner, doing this frequently will lead to more issues as the next few weeks continue..
I also notice as of end of April you up potted, you were reluctant to feed, have you started feeding them again at normal strength yet? I see as of May 16 the nutes they received from up potting certainly helped but now you are back to or worse off than you were before the up pot..
