Fe is immobile and you get that yellowing pattern starting at the growing tips, working it's way out from the center of the leaf. I would look to give them a foliar feed of something with iron chelate and up your EC.
Yeah mate my water has always been between 0.0 and 0.2 straight from the tap

I agree with grumpy grower, it looks like an iron deficiency. I also agree that you should up your feed next time you water. In the meantime, you could always mix up a water soluble kelp/seaweed foliar spray, if you can't find something with chelated iron to spray.

The main cause just seems to be underfeeding with the A and B. Your instincts were right when you upped the feed. You can still bump it up a little more.
