Maxsea grow: My plants are dying!. Need help identifying the problem

I'm in the Sac area too, and have picked up different cuts of Sour D from different dispensaries, and all of them have been a pain in the ass to grow. Not sure if this is normal for the strain, but they all seem to be very ph sensitive. I'm using some Maxsea for some indoor plants and a couple small outdoor plants (I have one SD inside and 1 outside), and I have to ph the Maxsea nutes to the mid 6's or the SD hates it. All the other strains I'm growing from seed or cutting have grown quite happily without much special attention, but the SD has been a pain in the ass.
When I add Maxsea and Calmag to the water and check ph, it's usually knocked down quite a bit (like 5 or so). Most plants don't care and can cope, but the SD hates it. I'm a pretty good gardener (been growing flowers and vegies for years, and have moderate experience with mj), but have been baffled by the SD cuts around here - they are fussy little bitches and nothing I do seems to make them happy.

from the pictures you posted it looks as if you have very high nitrogen because your outer rims seem to be burning. .at this point lower nitro .it's natural for big water leaves to fall off during transition. ..do your flowing feed...stop your call mag..you don't need it every feed. ..and also don't do salts. ..to easy to mess up PH of your soil then your burnt...from what it looks like is your natural bacteria wasn't thriving so your loosing leaves fast because they can't intake the nitro they need fast enough during flower....feed every two to three days at 3/4 strength. . And honestly sounds stupid but try doing a old age kelp foliar for three weeks and water once a week for two weeks with a cup of the cheapest beer per five gallons ..let me know what happens!

Full shot of plant

from my exp ANY of the SD lineages being S/I dom hybrids require more N in flowering to go hard the full 10wks.

I prefer to use a peat based substrate for my 60gal smarties so I can dose with MAXSEA + EVERY FEEDING...

If you had some maxsea grow you could add a shot of nitrogen to green.

also 5ml calmag is LOW for SD'z an OG'z, hit em to 10-15ml/gal to vanquish the dreaded pink/purp stem,
might even help correct some of the premature yellowing.

When in doubt add enzymes and beneficial bacteria.
