I am not over watering, but may be over doing it with the feed maybe .
I feed once every week or two and give them sequestered iron , are citrus
light feeders ?

No, heavy feeders.
But are you flushing the compost through with plain water between feeds?
Otherwise you get a build up of unused salts in the compost.

I suspect you might be giving them a bit too much of both. I water when
I think they look too dry. In winter that is a lot less frequent than
weekly.

At this time of year they are having their outdoor summer holiday along
with the orchids and take their chances in the rain. If they get too dry
then I water and feed them. Citrus seem to prefer being allowed to get
quite dry before being watered again and drenched. Like cacti they don't
like wet feet and will sulk if left in standing water.

Water heavily when dry, don't stand in a tray, but allow the soil in the
pot to dry out, then water it again, and so-on.

Citrus trees don't like having their feet in water.
