My leaves are very dry and crispy to the touch and are curling down. The tips of the new growth is yellow. It isn't affecting all leaves so I'm thinking maybe nitrogen toxicity? Here's what I'm working with:

Day 20 White widow autoflower
2x mars 600w LEDs
4 gallon pot
400 cfm fan with two passive intakes.

The lights are 20/4.
Temps 79 during the day and 69 at night.
Humidity is around 55%. I have a humidifier running in the tent.

I've been using distilled water with calmag. I used nectar for the gods nutes for the first time a few days ago at 1/4 strength.

I've been giving it water about every 5 days with calmag. 5 days ago I gave her nutes for the first time at 1/4 strength.

Give it enough water to dry out in 2-3 days. So cut back about half. Plant looks good over all , just showing signs of over water stress. Might get worse b4 it gets better.
Everytime you water you push air to the roots. If the roots are sogged in water they get no air. If they sit for days sogged the roots sufficate and no nutrients will uptake and cause wilting, clawing , deficiencies, lower yellowing, crunchy leaves and sometimes new growth will look tired. This wayering sxhedule will help incorporate a feeding schedule easier ( water, water, feed) and also keep fungus gnats out of your grow.

Would it be okay to drill extra holes on the bottom of the pot at this stage of its life or do I risk damaging roots? I suspect it might be holding too much water towards the bottom because my moisture tester says the bottom is still moist while the top is bone dry. The pot is 12 inches deep and the plant is around 11 inches tall.

(I drilled some extra holes in the pot before I started but maybe it's not draining enough?)
