I dont know Im a soil person also. I think u should grow some soil based so much easier and care free really. Sorry I wasnt much help. But next time get Miracle gro potting mix and just add plain water when watering and dont have to worry bout ph or changeing water and ferts.

Everyone to there own i grow both ways but my hydrophonic system always gives me alot more bud than soil and there is not that much differance in taste.If it was me i would just lower the ph make it around the 5.5 and then higher when its time to put your girls to flower your ph will prob be to high or low do has it says on your feed bottle and try not to get any on leaves when changeing your water i change mine once a week my plants are fed 15 ltrs of water with nutes per week at end of week there is about 5ltr left.You could change your water once every 2 week but i find you get a little salt build up if left.Its worth the effort just check a couple of times a week to see if pump is ok.Another thing i think makes a big differance is leaveing your pump on all the time a small trickle constant this adds oxagen to you roots mine are white right up till cutting plants ready to dry.

thats def gotta be some lockout going in. looking again it looks like potassium and mg locked out together from high salinity-common in hydro growers especially with thos co co pebbles.
u have rockwool in there too?
