Deficiency or Excess? Leaf tips coloring and twisting.

The leaf tips around the top of the plant show interveinal chlorosis (dark green/purple near tip, light green near leaf base) and leaf tips are curling/deforming since yesterday!

Update: the leaf edges are curling upwards and tips twisting, I think its a molybdenum shortage because all the symptoms match, however I have kept my ph above 5.5 so I don't know what else to do to fix it. I increased the EC slightly and she is still happy, but the molybdenum deficiency symptoms are still slowly progressing! Also I thought the problem might have been due to the reservoir being small so I upgraded to a 30+ liter reservoir which keeps the ph and ec nice and stable, HOWEVER now there is white foam in the res (but no odor, roots are white and not slimy...) I think the foam may be due to the enzyme nutrients breaking down old matter and maybe I didn't clean the new hydro system well enough. Anyway, anyone have any idea how to fix a molybdenum deficiency?

Bring your ph down to the lower part of your range and see if that snaps then back. Looks like nute lockout to me.

Yesterday all seemed healthy, the plant was slightly light green and EC was down to 0.8-0.9 (from 1.0-1.1) and PH goes up slightly every day (staying in the 5.5-7 range, most of the time around 5.8-6.4) so I added a bit of nutrients and tap water yesterday raising the EC to 1.0. Today the PH went up to 6.4 and EC down to 0.9 and these leaf tip symptoms appeared.
