If you let it dry out it might be useless now. The worst thing to do for those is let them dry out. Also you asked how you can have a deficiency when your using the full general hydropoincs line. You can still get defiencies regardless of using all the nutes needed even if using a whole line. The reason for this is becasue your plant will need and use more of certain nutrients throught its life cycle depending on what the plant needs and what nute has it. If you have a plant that needs more nitrogen at that certain time in its life cycle it will use all the nitrogen up in whatever nute has nitrogen in it and then will not have as much nitrogen as needed untill you feed it again. PLants use more of certain things and certain times during thier life. Even using the reccommened amount of nutes will not always supply the plant with everything it might need. You need to learn how to read your plant so you can give it more of what it needs or less of what it doesnt need at that time of its life. I cant really see from the pictures anything wrong with the plant and i cant see the yellow but normally yellowing in the leaves is due to a nitrogen defiency. Goodluck and i hope i helped out some and i hope you you get your problem dialed in and have a great grow
