Why do I have nute burn when I'm not adding any nutes!!

Can anyone tell me why I would be getting nute burn, when all I'm using is distilled water to feed. I test my pH run off every watering and its never been above 7 or below 6... It looks like necrosis a little bit on the very tips of the leaves. Mostly on the older growth, and a lot of the first true node (the 2nd set with 3 blades). I don't really see it all on any of the new growth. I have 2 plants and im seeing it on both. They are 4 weeks old, pretty well vegged out. I'm using 'roots organic' soil which has a bunch of goodies in it so i have had no need to add nutes thus far. although, at 3 weeks i transplanted into 2 gallon pots with the same soil so maybe the roots are getting burned from new soil? I dont understand it...

I will post pictures if needed, or information.

The 1st picture is what's left of the first node (the node after the single bladed leaf, usually 3 blades), and you can see the necrosis on it and yellow spotting.

The 2nd picture is a wide shot of both of my plants' 3 bladed node and the leaf pieces came from that node. Again, weird necrosis and burns.

The 3rd picture is a lower node set's main fan leaf tip, looks like small nute burn!

The 4th picture is of my fastest plant's top job. I hope I did it right... And you can see most of the new growth looks amazing. No spots, or necrosis.

The 5th picture is of my smaller plant's top. I was looking at it and the veins looked eerily bright green and the other leaf tissue dark. The plant just started looking like this, before it wasn't so apparently green and the brightness/darkness deviation from stem to tip was mostly the same color. I don't know if that's normal...

looks like environmental factors, the first picture looks like they are overwatered, while the last looks like either under watered or too close to light and/or wind. I dont pay attention to leaf tips TOO much. I cut the tips off my clones. I think you are being too picky, looks like a nice indica though

I think it some might have been caused by overwatering for the first 3ish weeks outta 4, I'm holding back till it's dry about 2-3 inches down now.

But yeah you are probably very right about being too picky, but I think it's a given on first grows. I'm not trying to fight the urge to find everything out, this is my learning time. Next time it will be delicious.

Over worrying , your girls look great, those lower leaves are going to eventually brown and fall off in a few more weeks as they get less light. If this is your 1st grow your kicking ass sir.

When you have clone that has trimmed leaves touching the soil they tend to decay a bit where they touch the wet soil after a water, and a few days later the decayed part will dry out and stop, then the leaf will yellow in a few places, then fully yellow and fall off, not a biggie. Ill bet when you transplanted at 3 weeks those leaves were the ones lowest to the soil.

Whoa papa bear,

your grow looks fine. If you check around most people with magnificent grow always have a few leaves that want to act a fool. Nothing for u to lose sleep over though Bro... You seem to be on the path to righteousness!

Quiteguy and Pure, thanks for the kind words, means a lot. Its hard to ever tell if I'm doing things right except confirmation from ppl that know their sh*t!
