Shining Silver Haze - sick in flowering.

Hi all,

Been a couple of years - had to sadly destroy my last small indoor grow due to an unexpected uplift and city move.

Currently doing a very small one plant grow - but she isn't doing too well. Without access to RO water I've had to make do with fluctuating PH. Try to start it off at 5.5 but it quickly rises above 6. I also have no ability to empty the bucket at this stage due to the screen.

Switched to flowering two weeks ago and foolishly began using flowering nutes - so I'm guessing a major N deficiency was my first problem which yellowed and killed off virtually all my fan leaves.

This leads to the problem I'm seeking help with now - what are we seeing in these pictures? My guesses are 1. Nute burn or 2. Lack of Potassium.

Also as a general side question and statement - I've never this entire grow gone above half strength nutes - is that normal? The plant despite growing well all veg displayed nute burn at anything over 50% strength. At this stage in flowering I'm still not pushing it passed a quarter strength. I don't understand how I can read so much information about people eventually working up to full strength nutes - are the plants larger? more robust strains? or does perfect ph play a large role in how high one can dose?

Hopefully someone can throw some tips in so this baby doesn't die before harvest. Street prices here are now $380 an ounce.

Bubbling bucket, regular Dutch Master nutes, 250w MH and HPS were used.

Pics not so big and hard to see all.
but. what is your grow parameters, EC, pH, box temp?
Like for me plant have deficiency Potassium, Magnesium and maybe Manganese (not sure)
Also on last pic at right side I see curled up leaf margins of fan leafs, it's may be cause heat stress.
And for me it's not nute burn, for me it's seems like starvation.
 
Currently; 5.8ph, 0.62ec and dead digital temp gauge but air exchange is strong so guessing based on running air-con most of the day (summer here) it would be around 24c - 26c.

I assume its not light because the highest points of the plant are flowering and showing no signs of damage or stress. Bug free and not sure what cal-mag is or how to test it?
