What micronutrients are missing in distilled water rather than tap. My plants have a deficiency and can't seem to find the problem help me out please.

Distilled water really doesnt have anything in it and a low ph.

I agree with blowincherrypie. If you haven't added any cal/mag do so. A cal def with hinder the uptake of S & F

i just added a tbls of epsom salt after i boiled the water to dissolve the salt and dilute it slightly and just watered today, i let you know how it goes one is only losing leaves right now but the others are showing signs of stress and lower leaf discoloration.
I hope all is well!
