Brown rust spots & holes in leaves.....wtf

I'm about 3 weeks into flower using hempy buckets & techna flora line of nutes & the plants as a whole look very healthy as flower sites are growing allover them but i've noticed these damn brown rusty spots on my leaves and some of them are actually creating small holes. I run distilled water every other watering & they typically get watered once every 3 days....even 1 of my smaller flower sites has the pistils a little brown....looking at the pictures of deficiency problems, it seems close to PH / Nute burn. I'm using the bc. bost, bc bloom, awesome blossoms, sugar daddy, cal-mag, & thrive alive and I use store bought distilled water (just started last week) due to crappy municipal water and IF i have to adjust the ph, it goes to 6....any advice would be really appreciated. 77 temp

Oh my god.
I take it by that response i'm not doing any good for my babies? The recipe for success starter kit that I got for $30 has all this shit in it & their chart does suggest using all of the products. I don't have a TDS meter so I don't know where I stand there but I am using 1/3 less than their suggested dosage on the bloom & boost...just so you know, I am using hempy buckets which in case you have not heard of them, it is a passive hydro system in 100% perlite so my plants get all of their nutrition from a bottle....I don't think I clarified that in my original post. The lights are 2 x 150w....I think i'm going to get a 3rd after x-mas for a total of 450w. I really like these 150's b/c you can keep them really close & you get more even coverage b/c you can pretty much have a bulb over each plant.

YEAH man just follow the chart! It will keep you at the right ppm that is how I did when I first started! Trust me it works. The calmag and sugar daddy are vital! If you follow it you will not be disappointed just check out my grow!bongsmilie

Here are some pics I took....since I fed w/ distilled water yesterday & the lights on period today, they have really recovered quite well so there isn't as much to see. For the first 2 months of the grow I was using PH'd tap water which is so fucking high w/dissolved solids that it actually clogs up my humidifier over time...at least once a month cleaning is required. Anyhow, it almost seems as if the distilled water has made the difference & they seem to be really recouping but here are some pics so you can see where i'm at....enjoy & compliments welcome. 3 plants btw
