Local hydro shops always push EVERYTHING . Actually the plants need very little, we try to force feed way to often and over water a lot.

at ph 6.5 your plant may not be getting enough phosphorus and or magnesium. try bringing your ph closer to 7

Do you have a ppm meter? It would help with flushing, takes some of the guess work out of flushing. Don’t keep flushing, that’s called over watering. Flush once really good and come back on the last pouring of water with an all purpose nute and cal/mag. Make sure your pot is drainingyeah i think its like 4ml max ive been trying to flush as much as i can but it keeps on yellowing

@Jamie cole how is the plant
People, and this includes myself, have spent A LOT of time identifying deficiencies, like it's the most important thing to know what exactly the deficiency is. IT IS NOT.
Why? Because in almost all cases, be it some type of def (or toxicity), regardless what it is, the solution is the same:
You will flush your plants with pHed water with the correct pH (soil: 6.5, hydro 5.5-6.0), and then give nutrients in the appropriate dosage. What *exact* deficiency it is/was is not even that important. (The other issue is, many deficiencies come in a combo, so the symptoms can include signs of all sorts of deficiencies and are not always that clear, even for me as an "experienced" grower.)
Most deficiencies/toxicities come from incorrect pH anyway. (Eg. watering with non pH-ed water, or overfeeding which accumulates salts in the soil so that the pH is off after some time, leading to deficiencies).
Flush --> (to correct your soil's pH) ---> water/feed with correct pH ---> 99% of all problems are solved.

def caused by abundance of p/k...
P and or K abundance causes stretch, too? or something.
2284 is heat damage(some abundance) vs the same abundance.
just wanted to share my pictures and let everyone know this was caused by me adding too much p/k thinking it needed more following that chart (i started beastie blooms too soon i think, and added more as well).. after adding more the damage increased faster i was able to notice a difference after hours instead of days, i flushed and everything is fine.
