Need leaf diagnosis in DWC

5 gallon dwc.
Recently switched to Lucas @ 6/12 ratio using GH micro and bloom ph 5.8
She's around 3 weeks into flower. Switched from GH 3 part flora series.
Had big ph fluctuations before switching, but steady now.
Bud growth seems very slow, but it's always tough to tell when looking at her twice a day. It's torture.
I'm not currently using any boosters or cal-mag.

After posting this I went and checked ec and ph. Forgot to mention that at 6/12 per gallon ratio, ec would drop as it used water and ph steady at 5.8.
Last night my makeup water I mixed at 7/14 because of the ec drop. But this morning ph dropped to 5.4 and ec is 1.0 (which it was at .8 when I added the hotter mix as a top off.
 
It's tap, but it's off my in Alaska roof. Zero tds.
Have you tried Lucas formula, if so did you try bloom boosters of any kind?
 
I use Lucas @ full strength.

Only additive I use is Floralicious+ and bulletproof Si.

I use flying skull z-7 to help with nutrient uptake and for the roots.

That looks like nute burn.

Do you have enough bubbles? What pump?
 
The leaf could have been affected from the previous nutes.
I have a Fusion Quietpower 500 pump with 2 outputs. One has a red bull can sized air stone and the other is 3/4" x 8" round fish tank stone. Running at max. I have ever so slightly browned tips since I got the clone as a gift. At the time I received it, it put it into bloom cuz she was ready. But the leaf edges as in the pic are relatively new. I posted my previous issue with ph in my other thread "low ph issues in dwc" on this forum.
