Yellowing of bottom leaves in Veg?!?

Let's not make walls of text.

Summary of facts:
Strain: Special Queen #1 - Feminized.
Day since spout: 17 (I think for 17 days veg that's big enough plants!)
Soil: Regular not pH metered dirt from the gardens around, it's taken from below a Mulberry tree, huge one.
Fertilizers: none
Pots: 10 litres bottles - thug edition 3.0. Approximately 6.5 liters left for soil.
Light: 11 hours of direct sunlight every damn day and it's the Sun around the 45th parallel. :)
Issue: I noticed slight crispiness and weave-ish of the first set of true leaves, those with one razor before 4-5 days since this moment, I followed it strictly on hourly basis and it's got to progress slow until today when I already can notice the 1 and 3 blade (first and second set of true leaves) getting crispy and more pale in green color, see pics below.
Growth: New growth or enlarging the modest leaves did not cease, in fact I don't notice any slow-down during those past 4 - 5 days.

My guess: The leaves show a Nitrogen, Potassium and Magnesium deficiencies yet very premature and confusingly mixed together. I think it could be due to the pH getting close to 5.5 where these three nutrients and only they get locked out. I'm working on metering the pH as we speak, should be done soon, note that this procedure is incredibly hard for me!
My guess 2.0: It could be due to already missing some additional fertilization in the soil and it being weak to support the speed of the growth of the plants so they withdraw some dosages to support the new growth, 'cause if pH was fucked up I think growth would be insta-stunted?

Note: ignore the green stuff you see in top of soil, it's a leaf of Mulberry - a quick remedy due to the stubborn GF not shutting up for me to do it and I just did it a few hours ago without watering so ignore it as I said.

I know that it's a very slight yellowing, but I'm pulling hair out on the slightest bad note. :D
If you guys need better pics, I'll a dozen more a bit later.

Long live the queen fellow growers!

You got it. Hit calmag and some grow.
Also dont sweat to much on the bottoms it just means it wants a bit more food. If you notice a burn however just dilute. The bottoms to are my inidicators if all is seems smooth. The second those start fading out I know to top dress with some EWC or a dry mix and hand feed. Its just my personal practice. I can recommend top dressing often though to not have this happen i can tell ya that.

Yeah I just come with pH result of ~ 6.3 seems fine there. Amazingly the Mulberry leaf might work too, lolwut @ GF. <3
I'm adding some Nitrogen and Epsom Salts. :)
So fucking happy I wish I could send every registered at rollitup a nug. :)
