is this a potassium deficiency or a toxicity?

i am running a 600w hps
temps range from 65 to 75 f
recently went from week one to two on feed chart on the flora duo chart
have been using the schedule at full strength with the advanced nutrients (which by the way I've heard to water with ro water cal mag and root stimulators like rapid start and st then do a water of the base nutrients a few days later then the floricalicious plus and extra nuts a few days after that. however i have also heard of people feeding using the whole chart at once at half strength any thoughts on this?)
using a coco pearlite mix with a little bit of hydroton pellets
ph is watered at 6.0 and runn off is 6.3

note:

also is it possible to have a plant show signs of burn and deficiency at the same time?

You are showing signs of multiple deficiencies.

N, S, K, Mg.

You need to feed more with your base nute.

They're fucking starving.

i just increased the nuts from week 1 to 2 on the chart about a week or so ago for the flora duo should i just go to week three (week 2 is 5ml a 2.5ml b and three is 7ma of Duo a and 2.5ml of duo B) or should i go higher

ok thanks guys ill flush throughly what do you think on the feeding. would you guys recommend when watering to water once at half strength with all of the nutrients on the flora duo feed schedule at once and flush once every few waterings or split up the nutrients on the chart into three separate feeds like one day feed cal mag st and rapid start next watering feed the two part flora duo, then next feed diamond nectar floricious plus and flora blend (i heard this can cause fluctuations in the root zone and also that feeding all nutrients at the same time will burn the plant)

I used the flora duo for a bit, with coco, when it first came out. It's ok. Don't forget that cal-mag(or calimagic as GH recommends, either will work well) with the duo.
I forget how many tsp of each gives you what EC/ppm. It's been a while.
Anyways, do you know what EC is going in?
Do you know the EC of the run-off?
Those plants of yours can handle an EC of 1.3-1.5.
You MUST water till you get about 20% run-off(with that EC)
Check The EC/ppm of your run-off!
If the runoff EC is way higher than what you put in, you were feeding with too high of an EC and/or not watering until 20% run-off.
If the run-off EC is lower than what you put in, up the EC. Again, EC of about 1.4 with 20% run-off;-)
Also, fuck what someone else told you. Feed everytime with your nute solution(including the cal-mag)
I hope you have an EC/ppm meter!

Again, feed EVERY time with your nute solution. If you want to, maybe add those other additives(not the calmag) every other watering(along with your nute solution)

wow that clarifies it a lot thanks ya i have a ppm meter ill def do that as far as what the ppms were i was doing it that weird way so not sure but at feed two my ppm with just the 2 part is about 600 ill bump it up

Do you know what conversion factor your meter uses? If not, lemme know what brand/model meter you got. I'll be able to dial you in further, if I know the conversion. :-)

Your meter uses the .5 conversion. Which puts you at 1.2 EC. Not bad. You could pump them up a little bit more;-)
But water with nute solution everytime untill 20% runoff is acheived.
NEVER feed/water coco without a complete nutrient solution. I'm willing to bet, they are indeed starving.
