Looks like N deficiency and a Ca deficiency to me. The fact you gave plain water and it got worse makes a 'deficiency' more likely, so that still tracks well.
Overall EC is nice to track but doesn't help much with the concentrations of individual nutrient molecules. If you use products with a gauranteed analysis label, you can use free apps and websites that will add up all your products and spit out ppm per molecule. You can even use some of these free apps to calculate a dosage for each product to hit a particular array of target ppms for each, too.
tracking individual stuff can help diagnose as well as become familiar with upper/lower thresholds where these issues start and never have them excxep for extremely rare instances. If you always see problems as you edge over 200ppm K then guess waht, that's too much K, all other factors remaining teh same. IT's a bit more complicated than that because the ratios of your nutes and impact each others' availability. So, depending onteh formula you may be able to go well over 200ppm k without issue... whether it is helping the plant or overcoming too much of something else is a different question.
good formulas work on a greater variety of plants. If soilless, i'd shoot for targets that resemble the formula from masterblend, jr peters, megacrop, crop salts et al.. It is no coincidence that these fertilizer setups add up to a very similar ratio and overall concentrations.
if in soil, this info still helps. tracking this stuff still helps, but you have an added complication of "What does the soil add, today?" - and that will change over time. Can still get to the same relative consistency, but generally a bit more of a learning curve due to more unknowns.
