Nute Burn or Calcium Deficiency?

Trying to figure out if if I need to increase the cal mag. Started to happen after I gave it a full strength feeding so I’m worried it’s nute burn.

Looks like it might be more deficiency than nute burn but idk how much is your EC when u say full strength just curious what that might be ?
 
Give more info about your water source, nutes, etc. What do you PH your nutes to? What media are you using?
 
Using Happy Frog soil
I PH my nutes to 6.5
I’m using distilled water
This was the first time a gave it nutes and it started reacting almost right away

Look like the ph was out of wack but now its fixed. happens in fox farm soil a lot.

Did you give it full strength grow big ? That would be too much for her. 10ml per gallon max until shes bigger.

Yeah I did give her full strength.
I gave my other plants half strength and some of them are showing similar less severe damage.

Is there a different soil you recommend?

I just watered this morning. Should I wait for it to dry like usual before I water with ph 8 water?

I wouldn't water with 8 pH. Trying to "correct" pH with water too far out of the "acceptable" range is not a good idea.
Correct me if I'm wrong, especially soil growers.

Should I water with higher ph water to balance it out? If so what ph? Or should I continue with 6.5?

I'd say continue with something more in that acceptable range (7 or under, I'd think). Again, more experience soil gardeners might help ya out here.

No , just keep using your 6.5 but next time you feed, use no more then 2tsp of grow big per gallon.
The higher ph water is not going to help "balance it out". The plant eating is whats going to balance it out for you.
 
by the way , they look fine. pick them rusty leaves off the bottom to make you feel better. Give us an update 72 hours after giving her that grow big. how much did you use ?
 
The middle plant is the worst. I unsuccessfully tried to FIM it which led to the deformed leaves.
The outer plants are showing early stages of the middle plants damage... I don’t know what I can do to stop the progression
