1 1/2 liters of water in a 15 liter container I doubt he gets any runoff. Bet your medium is loaded with salts. This is one of those times when it is proper to flush, and i mean flush the shit of them. Run at least 10 gallons(40 liters) of water through each of them.

By testing the run-off with plain water your testing the level of nutes in the soil already, you cant just check what they're eating instantly!

Try starting with water-water-water-feed and work from there, I find water-water-feed is what works for me but it varies on the strain.
 
i use canna coco prof plus and canna nutes and i never flush and i feed every other day and never have ph or over feeding i agree i would def flush those bitches and let the soil dry out a bit before feeding are u using coco ?

definitely got some nute burn (you can tell by the yellow starting at the tips and moving inward). you shouldn't be watering them everyday. if you find you need to water them everday because the medium is drying up too quick then you should be adding a larger quantity of water when you water and doing it less frequent. When you keep your medium consistently wet you are increasing your chance of root rot...those babies need to dry up and breath a little.

a typical water schedule may look like day1-water, day2-wait, day3-check/wait, day4-water. and then you only have to worry about feeding when you water

also, it is normal for fan leaves to start to turn yellow and die off during flowering, starting from the bottom...atleast this is what i was told and have experienced for my last 3 grows.
