For nutrients I don't have same access as for wast majority of people (homemade nutes here).

Water PH is at 5.5-6.7 range don't know exactly.

well given your resources i'd say you're doing a very good job. the plants don't look bad don't do anything drastic. did you mix the soil yourself? a pH buffer like dolomite lime or oystershell lime would help to keep pH in range and prevent lockout. could also be caused by overwatering.

Back off with the light. To at least 22".

Yes made the soil myself :) , well in my country dolomite lime or oystershell lime are not readily available I will try to find some alternatives that suits, also watering twice a week , maybe cut that down also ?
 
Also for Dolomite lime , what is the quantity needed for one plant ? Mix it in soil or in our water ?

soil. i dont make my own soils i buy soil that has lime in it already. i am no expert. but i found this

https://www.harrells.com/blog/im-lime

"In potting soils, most foliage and flowering plants prefer a pH in the 6.0-6.5 range. To accomplish this, we will add 8-10 lbs of lime per cubic yard of soil...
In existing potted plants that need to have pH brought up, you can top dress dolomite. A good rule of thumb is to apply 1 tablespoon of dolomite per gallon of soil i.e. a 3 gallon pot would get a 3 tablespoon application."

They look like brown spots to me. I don't have a link to the leaf deficiency chart but you can google it. Those brown spots look like phosphorous deficiency to me (according to the chart). I am puzzling though this situation myself. I am a light feeder so it may be logical for me. It sounds like you aren't feeding them anything extra so they may be lacking a little P.
