 Pineapple Chunk needs your help please

Hey guys, This thing has been growning under T5 2' blue veg lights since
mid March in a closet (3 sets of fixtures for about the last 2-3 weeks). It's in Fox Farm Happy Frog soil and has been fed a solution of : [ 5ml Cal-Mag , 4 Tbs FF Big Bloom , 3 tsp FF Grow Big , 1/2 cup Hydrogen Peroxide , 2 Tbs 0-10-0 Bat Guano , 1 Tbs Epsom Salt , 2 tsp FF Boomerang , 1 tsp FF Kangaroots , 2 Tbs Azatrol ] (ALL PER GALLON IN THE SAME GALLON OF SPRING WATER ) since the end of April every other watering. I've seen extremely small white bugs for as long as I can remember and have been battling them just trying to keep the population down since. (I question that this is the problem in the back of my mind) But as you'll see in the pictures the oldest leaves started to turn yellow and brown in spots and eventually died within the last couple weeks and is now starting to kill off some of the growth on new shoots on the bottom, but the top looks ungodly healthy and the plant seems to be continuing to grow. It's still in a 1 gallon pot which I thought could possibly be the issue as well and have been considering transplanting in to a 3 or 5 gallon potter with Subcool's Super Soil Recipe. We've tested pH and N-P-K along the way with Luster Leaf Rapitest and have gotten good results every time (also brings up if this is a good test kit or not). Any input would be helpful and GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'm new to all this and really don't want to see this beauty go down the drain!

Im no expert but I'm pretty sure you're WAY over-feeding that poor girl.

If you're already doing cal mag on top of everything else you can definitely go without the Epsom salt. Also half a cup of peroxide is a shit ton, even if its the 3% solution that's incredible overkill to the point it will be bad for your roots. If you are using Kangaroots why are you using peroxide? H202 (peroxide) will harm/kill your beneficial microbes, which is what Kangaroots is.
If youre going to continue using Cal mag, stop with the Epsom salt and if youre going to continute with the kangaroots stop with the peroxide.
If youre doing soil Id avoid peroxide all together, too much of the benefit in soil is the microbial activity breaking down many of your nutrients into forms that easier for the plant to utilize.
Good luck!

Get rid of the Cal-Mag. Use 1 Tbs big bloom, 3 tsp fox farm grow big (this alone is enough to cause burning over time)use 1.5 tsp per gallon, Get rid of these Hydrogen Peroxide , Bat Guano , Epsom Salt. There is guano in the big bloom why are you adding it again? and why during the vegetative phase The kangaroots and boomerang are fine but you won't notice a bit of difference if you don't use them.
Read up flushing cause I'm gonna say you need to do it in order to save that plant.

Thanks guys, so one last question... Should I re-replant this thing back in to straight soil? In other words will the super soil be the straw that broke pineapple chunk's back? Or will I be alright just flushing flushing flushing?

Flush. Run at least 10 - 15 gallons of clean water through it then leave it alone for awhile.

When you flush you want to run at least 3 times the amount of the pot. 5 gallon pot 15 gallons of water used for the flush and so on.

I would also add that you may want more light.
