Is this a deficiency or toxicity?

Its just soil that I bought from a gardenshop, idk exactly what kind. But there s also things like wood in it. What do you think of the leaves? You think it's a nute burn or a deficiency?

That looks like nute burn to me. Soil still may be a bit hot for too many extra nutrients, if any at all. Looks like your overall environment is good, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's going to be a guessing game for cause and effect if you're unsure of what the soil contains.

I also measured the ph in the soil and it was a bit on the high side for soil, it was 7.3 while in soil you have to stay within 6 to 7 max. So the best thing for me to do is just give regular water with a 6.5 ph right? And just wait it out before feeding again? The lower leaves are dying fast

IMO carry on. That particular leaf is an early leaf set ( 3 finger ) and usually will be expendable. Worry only if issue were systemic throughout plant.

Matter of fact you can clip it off if you like.
Soil does look a bit compacted ( no perlite ) also unknown what NPK ( nute density ) it may have.

I started to worry because they were healthy and beautiful looking just a week ago, and things changed very fast. I will just give it some water till I see that they need nutes. I was worrying because some leaves were dying while they were still green

I actually dont have any bag left, I remember that it does have nutes in it. It just didnt say what nutes or what the npk ratio is. It was brandless soil. Last grow I used the same on some autoflowers but started feeding in late veg stage and didnt have these issues at all. Btw I just watered them with ph 6.5, no nutes anymore till they are hungry

Good, keep giving only PH water for now, a plant that small that has burnt tips = No Bueno
measure your water with ec meter, to know what's your starting point, and raise it slowly or lower it from there according to the plants.
