Mine gets auto watered 5 times a day. It's been that way since after stretch. I was watering twice a day before that.
Chasing my tail with this one.

Im now watering 4L/day and getting almost 2L of runoff. EC drop has remained the same but dropped PH to 6.2 but I’m still seeing a decline in the leaf quality

I understand that there is a small amount of nute burn at the tips but I feel that there is something else missing.
It might be worth adding that two weeks ago I had to go away for a week for work and left the plant on auto feed and couldn’t perform any run off. When I returned the PH and EC climbed to 6.6/3.0. I flushed down to 6.2/1.6 before proceeding with my schedule feed of 5.8/1.8. But this problem didn’t start showing until after I returned, and seems to be progressive.

You have salt build. The shape and colour of are obvious tell tale signs that this is the case. If you think you know better and you don't fix things it will get worse.
I've seen this before in my own grows and there's only one way to fix it. Do a big plain water flush, about 50 litres per pot. Get the ec down to about 0.8. Then feed at half the dose about 0.8 ec and pH of 6 for a week. Then go to about 1.4 for the rest of the grow.
The plants have enough nutrients stored in the roots. There's no danger in flushing and reducing EC in.

Ok. I’ve flushed 14L using Cyco kleanze @.3/5.8 and am down to 1ec. Am I meant to be feeding straight away or skip and just mix up 1/2 nutes for the rest of the week?

Feed immediately, always feed coco but I'd reduce my nutrient levels down to 1.5 ec or less. I flush my coco every 2 weeks and I feed it to overflow daily at least

What size tent? Looks like a nice size. I like smaller setups as much as larger ones.

Nice setup! I like how you structured it and set it up. Looks tighty.
