Lights are way to close. Very light stressed.
Needs calcium and Magnesium.
You need to give this plant some real fertilizer with micro nutrients not just fish shit.

Here’s a really important question. Are you adjusting the pH of the water fish shit mixture, or just the water? As soon as you mix in the fish shit that H2O with recalibrate the pH, most likely in the acidic direction.

Yeah, I'd adjust the pH of the water-fish waste mixture. Once the fish waste is mixed in, the pH will likely shift towards the acidic side, so I need to make sure it's all balanced out.

The plant needs nutrients. It looks deficient in nitrogen, calcium and magnesium. It's still in the vegetation stage, so it should be able to take an all-purpose 4-4-4 fertilizer. Increase the amount fed to it slowly to give it time to recover.

The pH probably isn't the problem for this type of growth. Forget about that and continue with organic nutrients. A top dressing with Gaia Green All purpose, some Epsom salt, gypsum and azomite would do wonders for this plant.

You need a better nutrient, what type of media are you in coco, peet, soil? Watering once every 5 days can also create problems. Water with less volume and try to make the dry cycle closer to 3 days. Light could be the issue. My northern lights liked, veg through mid flower 750 ppfd, then late flower she could only handle 500 ppfd.

So in conclusion, you need to make adjustments to:
Your feeding schedule
Your lighting
Your watering habits.

Just remember each strain is different and will need different amounts of all of these things.
