His plants don’t look horrible but def not super happy. He’s growing autos in fox farm ocean forest solid and using GH bloom nutrients ph at 6.5 with distilled water . His 240 watt quantum board is 3 feet from the canopy at 75% intensity. Maybe was thinking too much light

I’m thinking too much nitrogen or generally nutrient stress. I think your friend should stick with plain water for a couple of weeks. “Too much light“ seems impossible to me as i keep my 450w of led over 4x4 at just a foot and they seem happy under it.
 
Sorry I simply don't see what the issue is. Plants seem ok to me. Too much N looks like really dark green leaves and "claw" which your buddy doesn't have either. So count your blessings and stop using distilled water. You need those minerals.

Is your light a blurple ? Those don’t actually pull 450 watts probably more like 150..240 watts of quantum boards Is waaaay stronger than a Chinese 450 blurple

Agree totally with you about not using destiled water. Somebody said that is the same like RO water but according to me it is not fully true. You can see how nice can pH of destiled water drop to 4,2 when is eposed to the air... RO water doesnt drop so much at all.

Nice lights ..are they at 100% 1 foot above the canopy ?

yes they are. These are not dimmable. It’s a diy and i just went with cheaper drivers no dimmers. It’s between 1-2 feet at times. I let them grow into the 1 foot mark and then pull them up a foot more. That’s how it goes till the end of the of the stretch. Then about 2 feet in flowering.

80 is temp humidity is 48% with 24 hours a day of light. They are autoflowers not really sure what the light schedule is suppose to be with autos

See I asked because the only time I have sad plants with LED is in veg on log hours, my solution was to raise temps, get vpd close and reduce light hours. Made a huge difference. I don't grow autos but the same theory can be crossed over since they are getting lots of light all the time, fills the DLI quick and causes stress.
So the answer would be to knock the hours of light down to 18-20 and see how they respond.
