Help me diagnose my Auto Lemon Skunk issue

This is a legal grow I’m helping with at my buddies.

There were 10 seeds, 8 popped and were planted, 2 were male ;-) leaving us with 6 ladies. Of these I have 3 normal size or what I believe to be normal size, the info on these states that they rarely exceed 14”, these three are 6 weeks old and around 9-10”. Of the 3 remaining females one is runt (5.5”) and one is FREAK OF NATURE, she is a giant 6 weeks old and 22.5” (and still going), and the last one is a beast as well but only (14”).

So to re-cap, I have one runt, three average, and two beasts I believe. IF YOU’VE GROWN THESE BEFORE, PLEASE COMMENT ON THE SIZES, I'M ONLY GUESSING ON WHATS NORMAL AND WHAT’S NOT.

The environment these are kept in is a 7’x3’closet under a 1000w HPS (16 hrs a day). Unfortunately we haven’t resolved the heating issue this causes (winters right around the corner), but we have been keeping it in check by keeping the doors open with fans, and putting its 8 hours of dark in the middle of the day. Its temps can fluctuate from 70ish up to mid 80’s, and there have been a couple of incidents, the worst was 93ish for a couple of hours.

EDIT: I should have mentioned that there is also a 6" inline pulling 400+cfm through the hood and out of the room. but that 1000 still radiates a LOT.

Soil is an equal mix of “Happy Frog” and “Ocean Forest”. Its PH is regularly checked, and it hovers right in the 6.5 to 7 range.

RO Water is PH’d to 6.5.

Nutes:
Sweet is added every watering (15-20ml per gal.)
‘Silica’, ‘Pure Blend’ 1-4-5’, and ‘Big Grow 6-4-4’ every other watering, but they were getting it every watering for a couple of weeks I believe.

Now for the issues and PICS. There are a few plants with issues and may all be different, but none are life threatening yet.

We’ll start with my 22” monster, this pics shows all the leaves with issue, three for now in the upper middle of the plant.

now for the runt

a couple more have similar yellowing, but not to this degree.

And just so they don't feel left out, here are a couple of the other ladies good parts.

As final question here is a side by side of the tops of two plants, a 'normal' and my 22 incher. notice the difference in progression, the big one seems to be behind in bud growth for now, it and the other big one started forming buds later than the other 4.

some have the right af genes the company or breeder was going for and some don't . unstable genes imo for the height issues , possibly a phenotype . I'm guessing the larger is on track of a non af plant and will require 8-10 weeks of flower due to the bud development . as for the yellowing fan leaves sporadicly the plant looks to be in general health a single fan leaf here and there might be a sign of a cal or mag def. or just the plant . i wouldn't be too concerned with it , they look nice .

re- looking at the lil lady in white , because of the proximity of the yellowing fans i was concerned for a min , but the new growth is vibrant . poss. the ffof was a lil strong when she was younger but I'm guessing shell be fine although thoose leaves will never recover as long as she's not locked out shell be good . wouldn't hurt to flush her next water cycle .overall as i said before nice work . get thoose temps down and your gtg.

Thanks GreenBudz for the great input. I'll see how it does over the next week or so, if I don't see it getting thicker, I'll probably lower the light to 12 hours and see if that triggers more growth, because you can see in the first pic in the last group of pics, it has bud growth started, it's just not progressing as quickly as it's smaller siblings.

I'll post some pics here every once in a while as the grow progresses through to it's end.

I'm open to other ideas, so chime in if you have one
