Is this Mg Deficiency?

Hello I am trying to help a friend.
He feeds in every watering (every 2-3 days).
The ph is 5.8-6.2, the nutrients are used in 2/3 strength, the air flow seems fine as well as the temperature and humidity.
The only thing that i thing he does wrong is the amount of water.
When i asked him about the ph of the runoff he said there is none.
He use 1 litre of solution to feed a 14 litre pot every 2-3 days so there is no runoff at all.
I think it is possible he got a salt built up due to the lack of runoff and that is causing the deficiency.
Also the same think happens to all 3 different strains and some of the hairs turn brown already. I personally checked for bug with microscope and found none.
PS Sorry about the quality of the pics. the bulp was on so i got vertical lines.

EC is preferable when stating feed concentrations.

Agree with the above. That's an odd watering regime.
