Toxicity or deficiency

Hello all!
Came home this afternoon and things a couple of plants had severe yellowing to a few leaves and a couple of really week stems holding other leaves. I don't know if it is a nitrogen deficiency or toxicity. Fed cal-mag,gh flora series at 1/3, and some fish fertilizer yesterday and the day prior through drip irrigation. Not all plants effected. Please help if you can.

Not much context about your setup but I will have a stab at it.
Your picture gallery tells me you should trim that 70s style bush, perhaps relax on the ferts as it will only grow to a certain extend and you ought to move the disco ball some 2-3 feet up from the floor.

Here are singe pics of my setup and some more context...i am a first timer with 16 plants(didn't believe in that many sprouting or lasting this long for a person like me). As such, there are some that are ffhf/ffof/perlite,some coco coir and perlite, and some ffhf/ffof/coco/perlite. I have one 2x2x4 tent and one 4x2x6.5(i have a 5x5 coming next week).plants are 8 weeks in the ground yesterday and i did moot know the strains, or whether they are autos or not.
The first pic from the initial post is of the leaves on my kitchen counter.Here are pics of the setup(i know i need more space).
What an i leaving out? The drip is not on a timer, i control the feedings manually and was feeding 3-4 times at 15-20 seconds daily for about 3 weeks(but not yet today) ph has been between 5.6 and 5.8 each feeding.20200715_193402.jpg20200715_193240.jpg
 
Thanks for the pics.
As I suspected, you have a great deal of foliage, you ought to think about trimming in order for the light to penetrate down to the core. Also think about cloning. If you clone and prune the plant will not only get a stronger stem but you may be able to safeguard a strain which does very well in your setup.
If I can be permitted to give you some advice: always start with the best seeds and learn about the strains you are working with.
Also note, I don't grow weed so I have zero experience

Thanks for the feedback! I have no experience with growing anything . I have been trimming slowly,I'm nervous that I'll take too much away and do more harm than i already have. I've procured adobe Rockwool,a germination kit,and some clonex to attempt cloning,just awaiting the bigger tent and i will use the 2x2 for the clones.
I also plan on giving only ph'd calmag water for the next 7 days to the entire crop to flush as much as possible before i start then flowering at 12/12 light schedule next Friday(9 weeks old).

You are welcome
I have experience with many plant species, I grow what is legal in my country. I do not want my head to become a soccer ball in prison. That being said, Magic mushrooms, Iboga and the plants that make up ayahusca are legal in my country (Brazil) so I focus on them. I don't know about clonex, I use colloidal silver to clone, it costs pennies to make and has so many uses. One thing is for sure, clone everything you have so that you can finally figure out the right growing conditions for every mystery strain you have.
Do not worry about trimming, what you need most is ventilation and penetration of light. If you do it in small steps the plants will adapt.

Yeah, i am waiting on a bigger tent and an additional light to arrive, and will be spreading them out between the 2 bigger tents. Hopefully spreading them out combined with water inks for the next week or so will straighten em out... I'm actually surprised that they've made it this long.
