Feed every time. Promix is inert. I’d do the test first. Not a full flush, look to get about 250ml run off. Once you know what you’re dealing with you can better decide how to fix. It’s very early and minor so you can turn this around

This is a big one too. promix is hydro not soil so no big dry back.
I have migrated over the last few years from 5 gallon containers to 2 gallons and increased my feeding to at least daily. A half gallon a day full strength nutes per plant every day. Definitely prevents nutrient salt buildup. Obviously automation helps make this easy. The bigger your pot gets the more of a mystery it is. At this point promix just serves to support the plant.
I'd also ask what the temp is based on the mix of deficiencies I'm seeing. I think besides the underfeeding in hydro he might have a cold component as well.

True deficiencies due to availability is pretty rare

My problems have been almost exclusively poor drainage leading to too much water. Pro mix and Sunshine mix #4 both have a wetting agent. Keeps them too moist sometimes. I'm seeing the best results adding 50% perlite. I just threw away an ice chest full of wet dirt that never did dry out.

It’s a basement in the middle of a historic cold snap, so inside I’m maintaining temps at 25c/77f on average during the day as best I can. Humidity fluctuates as you can imagine, but do my darnedest to hold over 70%. Just had the door open movin’ stuff so it dipped, in this pic. Also, guess I never changed the time
Thanks for all your help you glorious Dolls! Ran through a big jug so let’s see how we do after this.

For reference Sirrah ... my first few cups of runoff pH was a dark and cloudy 4.9 - 5.0 thanks to the salt build up. I might as well have been feeding them Weed Out.

Probably My Fault
I wonder if low humidity is a big part of the issue also. If the plant doesn't transpire it won't move the moisture up and out of the plant. Low humidity keeps the stoma closed.

One of the problems we deal with in the desert. Try growing in 8% rh.
I've taken to misting the plants a couple of times a day, they seem to like it.
If I fill the tent up with plants that helps a bunch. If you can hit the sweet spot with your vpd they grow like weeds. If not they will languish.
I think I have Stockholm syndrome. Standing outside, smoking a joint in 18° weather thinking this isn’t so bad

Atta girl ...
I got tired of waiting. Had to modify my irrigation system to compensate for the insulation
