I did have my lights too close early on in the grow but I would expect more yellowing at the top of the plant. I only use Fox Farm nutes at 1/2 strength so my next thought was just give them a bump.
Now I'm second guessing that idea when I measured the ph of my runoff... I water at 6.5 but runoff is 5.8 so I'm now thinking it's a root PH thing? any advice/thoughts?
I'm running these Autos under 3 Viperspector 300s, soil/coco mix, they're right around 6 weeks in.

Is that faster acting than using liquid PH up? or is that what I should incorporate to my soil on the next grow?
I'm running my lights 24/7 so maybe just using a half dose of Tiger Bloom isn't enough.
I bumped my ph water to 6.9 and dosed them with 2/3 strength Tiger last night but I can't tell if I'm fighting two battles...I hate guessing.

How much is 1/2 strength. The bottles and charts all contradict each other. And why are you using bloom nutes with 24 hrs light?

I'm more confused with the run off PH... 5.5 to 5.8 seems awfully low. Bumping my feed water to 6.9 only brought the runoff to 5.9.
I reused some soil from another grow but mixed it with fresh, I'm thinking I may have a build up of salts?

How often do you feed and water? Are you getting 10% runoff every time?

I feed every other watering and I did neglect to water that heavy early on. I do now
