I would top dress with 1/2" of worm castings but, cal/mag should also help.

You could add a little oyster shell flour top dressing.

Quit feeding guano. Top dress ewc. Quit watering so much. Get lights closer.


That well might have a water softener on it. If it is its bad for plants. Check that first.

Seriously, check the well for a softener. It uses salt. It will lock everything out.
