it looks more like over nutes...I would suggest straight pH water for awhile

@ISK yep I've gotten answers to questions like that, like "I'm not using nutrients" or they don't pH test the water or change the pH when necessary. I've had almost the exact problems with my plants when I first started and they ranged from deficiency to toxicity. If your adding nutrients and think it might be an over feeding but your pH is off it could actually be that you're getting lockout which means the plant (s) are in fact actually jot getting any nutes. So yes more knowledge on your grow would be helpful.

But since I don't have time to wait I'll just say make sure that your pH is correct and that you read the labels carefully on nutrients and not use distilled water. Also if you think it's a toxcicity then flush your growing medium and add correct ph water/food the feeding after the flush. Your plants will bounce back if you do it right. What always helped me out was having a check list (literally) of all the things I needed to do when watering my plants to make sure it was done correctly. Best of luck man!

I used natural spring water ph'd to 6.3 in promix soiless with good results. Didn't add any flush product to it. You can buy spring water in pretty much any grocery store but if you have more then 1-2 plants it gets spendy. I have to purchase water every feeding which socks cause my tap water has chloramine in it. I have to buy water to drink as well which is fucked. I've been collecting rain water (I live in one of the rainiest places in the world) so I might start doing that for the plants

I can get Springwater pretty easy and my tapwater isn't as bad I let it sit for 2448 hrs. but I'll be OK to use that or should I just go by spring water

Coco is different...I have not grown with it so I can't advise, but I've read coco often require cal-mag supplements

Yep, You stripped her clean with that distilled water. I would use your tap, give it a good feeding with some cal/mag, which has some N to help green her back up.
