no expert, but maybe its cal/mag def as you are using RO water, someone pointed out to me before that if i use i it, i will have to add to it, (noob here so u prob shouldn't listen to me) :) i also think that 1 - 2 low feeds over 6/7 weeks is a bit little, maybe try wait a little longer between waterings also make sure the pots dried out abit, try water the day before its too late, again no expert on leaf diagnosis or anything, but a flush nxt watering and a measurement of your PH + EC from your run off water would give you a clue into whats going on in your soil

i'd go with slight nute burn, and could be early signs of a def. more then likely CaMg, but i;d flush first, and if it pursists then look at deficiency's

just organic potting soil (not miracle grow brand). I just figured it was burn because I assumed soil would have enough nutes?? I am doing a flush today. Would a ph tester help me id the problem?

those aren't burnt, that is either a N def or magnesium def... Hard to tell but I would go with mg due to the fact your using bottled water, get some calmag and up your good intake

tap water is fine, just to make everyone happy you should flush then re feed and you should get back on track.. but i still think its a def

if its a def, i would lean twards K or Z, but if your gonna use tap, you should check online with you local water source and make sure they do not use cloramine, if so, you will need a special water filter to remove it, it does not dissapate over time like clorine and can kill all youre benificials

Looks like the start of a minor magnesium defiency too me...a couple foliar feeding of epsoms salt should help put a halt too it. 1/4-1/2 tsp per qt/liter should do the trick.

They are about 7 weeks old..

probably 2-4 times (alternating weeks) i dipped a tooth pick in earth juice and dipped that in the spray bottle ....that i misted them with...

I only fed them 1 time with the actual EJ in the watering... I gave them 1/4 teaspoon of earthjuice in 1 gal of water.. about 2 weeks ago... other than that its been all plain bottled water.
