To me your soil doesn't looks like the best around ( I have the feeling it is an heavy soil ) and it's look like a soil that isn't drying fast and it can retain too much water and could makes the roots suffocate.
The soil is the 1st thing I've spotted but your plants looks under feed ( pale colour, lake of nitrogen , maybe magnesium deficiency too ) and your values are giving me the confirmation: 0.8 Ec is too low for that stage, to me 1.2/1.4 are the best values at that stage
