Maybe I can provide a new perspective here...I may have missed it but did you get an EC meter yet? If not you will just have to go through trial and error with each problem you have and that is a Pain!! I know you know that already Just kidding bro
I absolutely do not think you have iron issues. Iron def turns leaves an even pale green "whitish" color. You are experiencing intervienal chlorosis that is a symptom of many problems but not Iron def. I absolutely do not think you have an over fert issue. You would be burning leaf tips more. I absolutely do not think heat is a problem. Intervienal chlorosis is not a result of heat.
I had a similar problem where my city water comes out at 36 ppm(EC meter)
I had to add Cal-Mag at 200 ppm to resolve the issue. Some of your leaves will become necrotic and brown and die if this is left untreated and some of the yellowing will green up again when it is resolved. Iron is also in cal-mag.
Don't start messing with peroxide unless you have serious root rot. The peroxide will kill beneficial microbes as well as killing the bacteria. With your lack of experience I could see more mysterious problems arise if you mess with peroxide. Just bubble your nutes and you will be fine on oxygenated solution. The oxygen will help the beneficial microbes to grow too...
Good luck -Jay
