Yellow edges - Could be over fert?

First grow here, all is going good. I was wondering why some fan leaves are getting yellow edges. I am feeding with teas. they have alf alfa pellets, kelp meal, and some bat guano in them. I first noticed the yellowing after I had been away from the plants for a week. Did a couple water only feeds to flush the soil a bit, but the problem is still advancing. Any Ideas? the top of the soil is dry on top and everything looks normal to me

The PH of my soil was around 7.7 I think... I checked the damp soil after it rained.

So I filled up a large bucket with tap water and let it sit for a few hours before adjusting the PH to about 5.8, thinking it might bring down the ph of the soil also.

And I put in a little small bit of sulphur dust in the water, one of the only pictures of deficiency this might look like.
 
Yes, overfertilizing can cause yellow/burned looking leaves and edges. This happened to me and so I flushed the plants with pH'd water and kept ppm around 200 for a few days. New growth came in healthy, and I trimmed off the yellowed leaves because they made me a sad panda.
