Is this nutrient burn or normal?

Gave my plants a dose of nutrients a little less than a week ago. Left for a few days and came back to this. Seems like a few of the lower fan leaves have turned yellow. I been slowly increasing ppm over the last few weeks, 500, 600, 700. this was after the 700 feeding week, ph is in good range about 6.4. Did I over feed? Probably in about week seven of veg, outdoor. No real noticeable burn on the tips. Seems like just some fan leaves affected and a few lower branch leaves. Plant seems quite healthy otherwise

It's pretty normal for some of the bottom leaves to start yellowing at 7 weeks- I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts moving higher up on the plant.
Leave those yellow ones on there- the plant is still using them- when they're used up they'll fall off.
 
Not nutrient burn.
700ppm is not actually heavy feeding.
If you're only feeding once a week you could probably bump it up a bit more.

But a yellow leaf here and there on the bottom leaves is normal at this stage.
I forgot to mention but the soil is pro mix vegetable, so it does come with nutrients in it, is 700 ppm still considered low with amended potting mix?

After a couple months and it's a decent size plant in not a lot of soil.
So probably not much left in it.

I don't think 700 is particularly "low" it's just that it's not excessive.
You probably shouldn't get nutrient burn just feeding 700pm once a week.

ok good to know. I figured the same with regards to the nutrients being used up in soil, so I figured I’d slowly and gradually introduce, so when they needed more in flowering it wasn’t as big a shock. Thanks as always to this site for the great advice and helpful insight.
