Nute burn dial back your feeding
Find ya a nice chart that show the effects of both deficiency and excess for each nutrient identify the one that looks closes to your leaves and eliminate it from you next few feedings. The damaged leafs probably won't recover but you will see it stop to spread and get new healthy growth. Naturally your ecm/ppm will drop as a result. Just make sure you adjust your ph so that it is the same as you have been giving or ph shock can occur. Off memory I think I found the one from royal queen the easiest to read.
Flushing with plain ph water to reset your medium I also an option

I would guess to lower the feed rate will make the problem worse, I’d do the opposite myself, 12 should be good but look at the leaf, if your running high the tips burn first and your tips are intact mostly even with the leaf hammered, clearly deficient imo.
1.2 is the highest I hear folks running and I see the most damage at the tips. That's why I assumed over feeding. I normally spot cal deficiency by the copper/red spots some are visible in the pic so I figured it was most likely a cal/mag imbalance. I'm a soil guy and still mostly just running the system I was taught and fiddling with it a little here and there to learn. Also a variety is spice of life philosophy so I never nail down exact feed for a given strain. That's why I'm on threads like this to learn from the vets there's plenty here and I'm a self-proclaimed dumbass

Whats your PH? and whats the temp and humidity in the space? I can't imagine with ec of 1.2 constant in hydro that a deficiency would be that bad unless the plant was unable to acces the available nutrients.
edit: on a side note I rarely push my ec above 1.0 (anyhting more typically gives me some burnt tips). However I do run old school ebb and flow in rockwool so I typically get some salt build up over the course of a grow.
2nd edit: Also. How are your roots looking?

I would say indoors that would be highly unlikely. And given all your perameters look good I'll have to go with overfeeding. But I'm a B class grower so take that with a grain of salt. haha
