Possible nutrient issues

Hi. This plant is one of several indoor plants and seems to be the only one with issues showing signs in the leaves. These are planted in fabric pots in coco coir and are currently in earlyish stages of vege. Last week I topped this at the third node (after waiting for a full 6 nodes to grow as I always do) and the other plants exactly the same, as I am looking to manifold/mainline them. They are all receiving House & Garden nutrients with current H&G recommendation of a PPM 840 (1.2EC) and a PH 5.8 - PH 6.0, and are given these every second day with 20% run off. The environment is controlled by an automated controller which maintains a VPD of 0.50-0.70 (i.e 70-75% humidity & 21-24°c). Lighting is HLG Diablo set to a PPFD 530 (or 32,500 ish LUX). All the other plants are looking fine on and off photo period, however this plant seems to have this consistent almost leaf curl which doesn’t seem to be getting worse but also not any better. The leaves are not curling at the tips and there is no yellowing or over darkness indicating high nitrogen. My initial guess was nutrients being too strong or possibly too weak, or potentially heat stress. Putting this out there in hope that someone can provide some help. Cheers

My first thought was possible overwatering.
Watering every 2 days seems alot for young plants. Is the soil very dry when you water?

I’m growing in coco coir. Coco is essentially considered hydro, so should remain 90% wet at all times

I think I’ve figured out the issue but won’t really find out until tomorrow or possibly next day. EC/PPM of run off is quite a bit high so I’ve basically flushed with 1/4 nutrients PH 6.0 which has now very much lowered the run off EC/PPM

Wait and see. It looks locked out to me. Ph seems to be about right, though I figured that's what the leaf curl was from?
