Overfed or underfed

hey guys. I am about 5 weeks into veg in a 15gal smartpot. My plants have been looking perfect till now but are starting to show some minor discolorations. I have been feeding with an ec of about 1 and phed to 6.5. I know that the discoloration is minor but in my experience a minor discoloration can turn into major burn/deficiency very quickly. So my question is if I should increase or decrease the nutrients. I have no idea if its over or underfed and I know that choosing the wrong one would be very bad...

It looks like they're getting paler from the inside of the leaf out, which is over feeding, they do look very dark green which agrees with over feeding

Thanks for the reply. My plan is to flush out the soil and then go from there. Since I am only watering about once a week due to pot size I am worried that if I flush with plain water I am bound to get some deficiencies(very light soil). So I am thinking I will flush with a 1/3 nute solution.(was feeding 2/3. before)

Based on some new developments(will upload pics later) I diagnosed a calcium deficiency which I assumed was due to salt buildup/low soil ph. I ran 40 Gallons of plain water with a little cal/mal phed to 6.5 through the pot. Runoff was at 6 which supports the buildup theory. Will report back in a few days how she looks
