Why are they yellowing?

I’m new to Anthuriums and quickly adopted a dozen of dark leaf and strapping leaf ones. I love them! However I’ve been noticing yellow edges and tips on a few of them.

They all came to me between January and April. Most of them were shipped from somewhere in the US, and a few from Ecuagenera and Thailand. I cleaned the roots thoroughly and transitioned them to lechuza pon right away in self watering pots.

Most of them (pic 1-3) are living in an IKEA cabinet, with 70-90 humidity and 65-90 temperature, under growlights (Barrina T5) for 14 hours a day. Four 80mm fans are on 24 hours a day. I add hydroguard, silicon, cal-mag, and foliage focus at full strength every watering, and use a little bit of PH up to adjust ph slightly. I mostly used hydroguard and rapid start when they were newly transitioned. A few of them (pic 4) grow in ambient humidity of between 50 and 75 also under growlights for 14 hours a day. I flush them at least once a month.

I also checked them closely with a jewelers loupe and didn’t see any crawlers, but I could be missing something.

Now that a few of them are showing yellowing, I just wonder if there’s something I could do differently. What do you think is happening here and what can I do? Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Did I mount these right?

I’ve been browsing posts here and reading through general instructions on how to correctly mount them, and tried my best. I’m hoping to get some feedback from the community in case I still oriented them wrong, or missed something important. Could you please take a look at them and share your thoughts?
