How old are they? You should probably start slowly upping the feed. 0.6 EC isn't much more than what I feed a seedling. Are you feeding them once daily to runoff?
Half a gallon is way more than you need to get run off with plants that small. You must have almost all 1/2 gallon of nutrient mix coming out as run off! I am currently feeding my plants in flower 1/2 gallon and it's more than enough to get a lot of run off with those.
Also for future reference please take photos with the grow lights off and your camera flash on. Good luck!

I put a half gallon just to give them some kind of consistency for the entire grow and I’m running 1/5 strength for the nutrients how much should I go up? This is the feeding schedule I use

First off those plants look fantastic. I started out in Coco growing with the 3 part by advanced nutrients paired with Botanicare CalMag+. Definitely solid results.
I would make sure you stick to your feed chart, never slack on CalMag always apply it, especially with the non coco specific line of nutrients like the trio (perfectly fine) and honestly watering until runoff is important but you dont need lots of run off especially with AN its pretty clean stuff as in it doesn't have tons of salts and stuff in it that is going to clog up your coco.
I'd keep doing what you're doing though it seems to be working.
When the plants are small you should feed around 1.00 EC then as they get larger you can ramp the feed up to as high as 2.0 EC unless you start seeing burn or something and then just pull back. You can always add more you can't take away so always increase feed as the plants grow in small increments and monitor the plants or take pictures to track results. Log everything on paper or in a note app.
Here's my guidelines with feeding coco with liquid fertilizers.
Early Veg: 0.5 EC
Mid Veg: 1.0 EC
Late Veg: 1.2 EC
Early Bloom: 1.2 EC
Mid Bloom: 1.4 EC
Late Bloom: 1.8 EC
These numbers can change depending on genetics though. For example the Gelato 33 that I'm growing needs LOTS of CalMag compared to my other plants. As much as 10ml/gallon of water, no kidding at all...
Also, keep your PH around 5.8 in Coco if possible, unless you're running the PH Perfect line of Advanced which in that case you do not ever need to screw with PH, ever.

You can achieve knowing to feed more or less by monitoring the plants visually. I've had really good luck just following Advanced Nutrients feed charts throughout the plants growth. I used to run AN start to finish 2 oz per/5 gallon of water of each part and 20 ml per 5 gallon of water of CalMag. I want to say that brought my EC around 1.4-1.6.

Should I slowly be upping my nutrients?

Yes, it's like with a person you feed them small amounts until they grow and then you feed more and more. The progression of feeding usually goes by weeks. example week 1 veg, week 2 veg, week 3 veg, week 1 flower, week 2 flower so on. You can incerase the food every week unless you see a problem like tips burning or curling where the plants are getting too much nutrients or whats commonly referred to as "nute burn".
Thank you so much I will try easing my bites in my next feed at 745 I’ll keep you posted !
