If 2.3 can't put some color back into the top leaves, i'd reduce light a bit. May just be too much DLI even with 1200ppm. Some lower leaves look quite lush, so leads me to think it's more light related at the top and you haven't been skimping, unless that's including some really high ppm tap water.
The pH is probably better wavering between 5.8-6.0 instead of 5.5-5.8, but if you've been using this mix for a while and already callibrated the ratios to work in consistent manner throughout your grow without symptoms, then i wouldn't change a thing as you've already adjusted for a lower pH. 5.5 is a bitch sketchy for Ca++ availability and quickly other things shortly after that. MAy be requiring more ppm of Ca than necessary.
