Oops, Yellowing Leaves on an Auto?

I have a Tangerine Dream Auto about 8+ weeks from seed, ( Near Mature) and the lower leaves are yellowing and fading! Now The breeder says it's a 8-9 week strain so when I noticed it yesterday I wasn't too surprised as the few leaves were on the lower part of the plant below the Scrog screen, I just picked them off.
But today I noticed that it was spreading up the plant.
I'm in a hydro tub (Stinkbud LP system) the PH is 6.1 and nutes are ~1100 PPM using GH Bloom and Micro. I had thought the PPM was more like 800 PPM so almost 1100 is troubling, right?
I have it under a ~250 watt LED at about 12-14" so I doubt it's light burn.

I have heard of plans dieing back but it seems this is happening too soon, isn't it?

Pics please, could be the plant is in the final stages and needs a couple more weeks, could be a problem but, well, I'm not psychic but psychotic, I can't read your mind but can only fuck with it, more of a large than a medium, and that means I can't see what you can.

For starters I would look here



but others will definitely be able to point you in exactly the right direction because I don't do hydro, but what I've just noticed is your pH and I believe you are a little high which could cause an issue as it looks like you have multiple issues there.

I diluted the rez last night, used some down, and PH=5.6 PPM=883 this morning. but the yellowing is still progressing. PH has been mostly stable but rises slowly.
My tap water runs about 7-7.2 PH & ~500 ppm.. I generally 'down' it to ~5.6/8.

I'm not doing anything different than I have for 6-7 weeks and had no problems before??? StinkBud suggests PPM's 1500-2000 in his Aero Tubs? I generally keep mine under 1000-1200.

As close as I can tell it appears to be close to a potassium deficiency, but not quite like the pictures above. More GH Micro then?

I Emptied the rez and started over again last night. PH 5.6 PPM 950, but this time I added some Grow to the Bloom and Micro. I added the Grow to see if N was the problem. GH recommends ratios of 1 Grow 3 Bloom and 2 Micro in late flower. This morning it looked like it might be working. Buds are bulking up and getting sticky!
