HELP! Auto-plant yellowed the leaf and crashed

Hi folks, how are you? I am in my first cultivation and I came across a situation that I am not managing to solve.

Two weeks ago I started to notice something different, first the plants stopped and the youngest leaves started to lighten up to a light green color, including in the veins of the leaves, then, after about seven days, the leaves started to turn yellow and the affected area increased a lot, from something centralized and small, to something spread going towards the edges of the leaf and already much bigger, moreover, the symptoms started to go down from the youngest leaves to the middle ones, and finally, during the second week of symptoms, the yellow became almost white, I also noticed that the petiole of some leaves was a little purple, on a few leaves I noticed a few brown dots, in the shape of a circle, today, at the beginning of the third week of symptoms, they seem to be still locked, but the color of the leaves seems to be returning to normal, although some leaves are ugly/brown and the plants look unhealthy.

Good news: I can smell them slightly (which I didn't have before, they are in bloom as I understand it).

Could someone please tell me what could be happening and maybe how to solve it? Thanks a lot!

Hey Hello, thx for help me.
So, last week I had already looked at these links and researched about it, it seemed to be sulfur deficiency, but since I don't understand much, I couldn't confirm it.

About pH:
water: 9.1
solution (fert + water): 6.2
soil (sample of the top part diluted in water): 8
runoff (sample of the bottom water after flush): 7

The wet leaves are from a foliar watering I did with some Epson salt, but I erased it right afterwards, thanks for the tip
 
I have followed the chart below correctly since forever, currently I am in week 5.

I would be looking at nutrient strength. Reduce the manufacturers recommendations by at least half and start there. Do I understand you’re watering everyday? That’s a lot. Less is more with hand watering, at least that’s what I tell myself to keep from overwatering, cause that’s really easy to do. You need a good PH tester.
 
Sulfur starts in the veins and moves into the leaf on new growth. Keep working on the PH, do you let the solution rest for like 12(24) hours and then recheck the PH? I find some methods of PHing are not stable and drift up or down.
 
Get a good pH meter. The cheap pens are garbage as are the stick in the dirt probes short of $200. Stick in the dirt water meters are good, though you need to learn how they read and not necessarily go by the dial indicator. I have three and only use two as one is way off.

if you want a great start and no nutes needed for a month or so use some Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil.
 
Quit feeding and flush the soil is what i'd do. Overfed and not enough aeration to the soil looks like. Over thinking the food, autos don't need alot of food.
