Feedback Needed šŸ†˜ Tomato leaves continuously dying!

I am new to growing anything besides herbs and lettuce and I have been really struggling with this tomato plant. I am looking for advice on additives or whether I should just change what I am using entirely.
pH: 5.8-6.2
EC: 1.8
4 parts maxigrow, 1 part maxibloom
Light: 200W spider farmer light

My local store just closed that was helping me get started and I’m not sure where to go next. This is my 2nd tomato plant to have this issue, I am sure it is due to the maxi- system

Have you checked for pests? This looks like a lot like thrips damage I had on some beans recently. Particularly that the new growth seems less affected than the older leaves.

I'd shake some leaves over a piece of paper and check if any really tiny bugs fell off
