The yellowing starts from tips and works its way to the tips. This is telling. Often such problems may start as one thing but lead to many others. You seem overly concerned about the electrical conductance of your run off, what about the 9 cardinal rules for plant growth? Are they all being met? If any part of the process is restricted to 10% the entire plant and all it's processes run at 10%. I'd say nitrogen deficiency, starts at tips, works its way inside, seems to effect lower leaves/older first, with upper growth greener. Right off the bat tho your leaf span has already greatly exceeded the pot. Good luck.
