Hey guys, first grow and first post here. First week went fine, growth seemed quick (but like i said its my first grow) and ran into a few small problems such as my lights being too close, a little bit overwatered, nothing too major. Moved it away from the lights and let up on the water a little bit, but now its getting yellowish/brown on the tips of the leaves. I have been looking up all the information that I can the past few days, but a lot of the information is a little conflicting/confusing. So I figured I might as well throw up a thread and hopefully you more experienced guys can help me out a little bit and let me know if its a nute burn or deficiency.
A little more info:
I did read that FFOF and FFHF ran a little hot, but I was willing to take that chance as my other option was miracle grow or trying to throw something together myself (a little inexperienced for that I think) I'm thinking it may just be a nute burn from the FF soil as I haven't added and other nutes at all. I also read that FF soils need added perlite, but again my only perlite option was miracle grow perlite so I didn't want to use it. Maybe the water isn't draining well enough?
Soil PH has been at around 6-7 so I dont think its a PH problem (although my meter was one of the crappy cheap probe ones, going to invest in a better one.) I watered the first week with tap water that had sat out at room temperature for 24 hours, but switched to distilled water about 4-5 days ago (would the switch to distilled water cause something like this?)
Strain: Advanced Seeds Auto Somango (Jack Herrer x Big Skunk x Ruderalis)
Lighting: 6x 23w CFL's (4x 6500k 2x 2700k)
Soil: 2/3 FFHF 1/3 FFOF (in a 3 gal pot)
Water: was watering a little too much early on, a little bit of tap water (sat out for 24hrs) each day with no runoff. Since then I have been going 3-4 days in between waterings (distilled water) with ~20% runoff.
Temps: temps have stayed between 79-82 degrees the whole time, humidity between 40-50%
I can provide any more info you guys should need (granted I have the tools to do so) to help diagnose this issue. As of now with the research I've done I am thinking it is a combination of FF soil running hot with poor drainage, was thinking maybe a flush would help? But like I said, any input here is welcome. Thanks!

she'll bounce back. the wrinkling, leaves is a result of too much water so with those two together might be enough to put her in shock. 
Just let her sit and do not water till soil is feels lighter, let her roots search for water,BUT don't let it go so far as to dry her out..After a couple of weeks she will be thriving in ffof, You're giving her too much too fast slow down and let her do her thing..
