Just overwatered and fed. Lock the door for a week😎
The only thing i have given them is Alg-a-mic spray, i was under the impression it was impossible to burn the plant with it?

Root and transpiration issues. Likely over watering. Seeing lockout issues.

Download light meter by "my mobile tools dev" 10000 should be good I have a feeling your well over that

Im getting around 25k lux-33k reading.
Lockout issues what exactly should i do to fix that? And i thought there was no such thing as a light being too close as long as the plant isnt getting bleached leaves?

At 33k you almost at what is considered flower. That to much light for those plants. You realize plants may not show obvious signs of damage out of ideal ranges. If you do a side by side you will see some conditions provide better growth. The most important factor is your leaf temps. Once damage starts you are far beyond ideal.

Lockout meaning your plant is not taking up several different nutrients. Because it's oxygen deprived due to your substrate being saturated with water. Let it dry out and back the light off to 10000-15000 lumen is what I'm suggesting.

Take it or leave it that's up to you.

Well alg is fine for foliar. Make sure the lights are turned off and stay off for a couple hrs when u spray. Also half what they say

Just for reference so I don't give out misinformation.

Seedling clones first 2 weeks 5000-10000

Veg starting 10000 increasing weekly 5000-7500 up to 45000.

Flower 45000 to 85000. At 85000 you may see some burning if your leaf temps are up there.

Leafs temps ideally should be 75 a cheap IR gun will keep you in the know.
