She Lost Aroma... VERY CONCERNED.

I flushed her 4 days ago because she was getting burnt tips/leaf spotting. She initially started getting vigour back and her growth rate increased. However, over the last day or so, she has yellowed heavily and grey/black spots/streaks have appeared in the middle of her lower leaves. I was originally using distilled water but switched to tap (at time of the flush) for fear of trace mineral deficiency. I have not officially tested the PPM myself but the local reports say it is below 150. the pH has been consistently 5.7-5.9 (i am growing in a mix of coco coir and perlite). I have calibrated my meter repeatedly with #7 and #4 solution; it works perfectly from what i can see.

The thing that concerns me the most is that she's lost her smell. She had a wonderful aroma up until last night/this morning. So i am in a bad situation and it's needs to be fixed asap. I am very new to growing and this is my first time growing anything in coco coir. I've been trying my best and researching quite a bit and i'm not sure what to do.

She is under a 400w Metal Hallide, and the temps are 25-27 Celsius (77-80 Farenheit).

Please help:

Those white tips definitely look like Mg deficiency, which you may of mistaken for nute burn. If you're not using coco specific nutes, a calmg supplement is heavily suggested, especially if using RO water. If your tap water ppm is <300 I would suggest adding a bit of calmg as well.
 
Botanicare cal-mag is usually a popular choice, I personally use "Grotek Calmg". My hydro shop told me all CalMg products are pretty much the same, just name and price vary. I would also suggest upping the nutrients, they look very light green, it looks like your 6th set of leaves is developing, plant shouldn't have an issue with 3/4 of full strength vegging nutes.
