I have 2 week old babies one seems to be a little sick and has multiple weird signs lol not new to the game

Specs:
3 Cfls
Fox Farm Ocean Floor
First feed Yesterday Big Bloom

The Plant has yellowing in between the veins and is drying along the edges new growth is light in the middle and top of plant has lighter color green around the edges. Maybe due to me leaving on accident and they dried all the way out totally but after water they are standing tall again.

PS: Signs showed way before nutes were added

why would the ph be locked out if in using distilled water? Never had a problem before and the other plant isnt showing the same symptoms on the other ladie

Is there any particular reason your using distilled water? You need to add calmag. You want the ph to be 6.5 in soil. Distilled water has a ph of 7. Some plants can be more sensitive to nutrient problems than others.

distilled water is bad for plants... plants need water hardness(cal mag) thats why people often have cal mag def they dont understand their water and over think it. your light ratio to nutes is off. btw i promise your wasting your time and effort with cfls and thats your real problem. if your going to do it get some real equipment other wise go back to buying it. your going to need to be at around 400w and some ventilation to be "successful" . take it from me a learned a lot the hard way

ps. im willing to bet $ that's not iron deficiency also prob not ph lock out either unless you did something weird to your soil. unless your water is brown ph test strips and drops are under 5$ and are actually easier to use than electronics because they dont have to be calibrated every time. once again speaking from experience. i have both

since distelled water has no hardness so it will not affect ph what so ever...its the nutes & soil that effect ph... so keep wasting your money on distilled water it does nothing for your plants that plain tap water does not. also if you use distilled you have to use cal mag because distilled water has that removed. it makes no sense to pay for distilled water and then pay to put back in what was removed. YOUR THOWING MONEY AWAY. look at my garden i do nothing to treat my water, it comes right out of the tap. proof it works just fine. that said not my money your throwing away its yours...kinda ironic when your talking about being broke on this thread. the only reason to use bottled water is if you have extremely hard water above 300ppm from a well and even then not entirely neccisary. if using bottle water use spring water, it still has the minerals your plants need it to a point. 150w hps will grow one small plant.
