yellowing leaves in flower

Hello fellow growers

Im growing Mazaar from DP on 25L airpot (5 gallons) filled it with 1/4 organic humus and the rest 50/50 peat and perlite, adding just some dolomite lime to maintain the pH round 6-7 range.

Mars Hydro 250W lights on a 3x3 tent (1x1 meters) + some UVB 45 minutes total per day, on 15 minute intervals

I like erring on the lower side when it comes to nutes so i start reaaally low, and make my way up to 0,9 - 1,0 EC

I use GH three part nutrients + a very small amount of molasses (to feed the bacteria just enough to regulate naturally the pH) + some veloKelp up to the third week of flower.

Veg I use 1-1-1 parts micro-grow-bloom
Flower I use 1-2 parts micro-bloom (lucas formula which ends up giving 1-2-2 ratio of NPK) always maintaining the 0.9-1.0 Ec range

I always water with alot of runoff, like 50% of volume used, to avoid salt build-up. She is now drying up every two days.

They grow like beasts. on the 3rd week of flower I raised the concentration 25% giving a total of 1.25 Ec, give or take, which is pretty low still, which resulted on tiny burnt tips, so I flushed with half the concentration and returned to 1.0 Ec, just to be safe.

From the 4th week onwards she started to yellow some of the top leaves, mainly on the center of the plant, so I raised the lights a little bit to be safe. The yellowing is progressing to other leaves, mostly top ones. Doesnt seem to be interveinal chlorosis. I measured the runoff pH and its on the 6-7 range which seems pretty ideal for this soil / mineral combo.

Any help is apreciated! Il be attaching some images here. Note the yellowing leaves, the tiny burnt tips, and some leaves are with their margins slightly turned upwards. Not sure if its deficiency or excess. wish they were more on the lush green side up till flushing :/ the bottom leaves are more dark green.

Thanks!

Maybe i should leave the pot dry too much to avoid salt build up? I never let them dry too much to the point of drooping though

Another possibility is that its a deficiency, backed up by the fact that the pots are drying up pretty fast.

Also note the praying leaves!
