Distilled won't hurt the plant but because distilled contains no minerals it can leach minerals from the medium and plant.
Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I feel like my soil is too hot with Nitrogen. Last plant died from nitrogen toxicity and got the claw. Now this ones doing the same thing. The leaves aren’t soft, I see clawing as well as nitrogen burn on edges of most fan leaves. It’s working it’s way up. I’m sad.

Thanks, I’ve been giving her distilled with light calmag. Noob question, will it hurt to feed her plain distilled water?
Feeding plain distilled water it's how you'll get the salt that are burning your plants down in case of over feed you just drench to run out and go easy on the feed.. This is why i prefer organic soil. Much more forgiving when adding organic fert. Everyone has to make mistake to understand them.. I never ever use salt fert.but if you do... Less more often is the key. You start with a small amount and increas regularly till you find your sweet spot.. Yiu have to watch out for nutrient lock out.. To much of a certain nutrient can't cancel the intake of another.. Sometimeyou thing yiu don't have enough of something when the cause us too much of something else and your salt level was already limite. And by trying to fix that probleme you are making it worst. I've read in the tread many overfeed. And yet you are still adding salt to you'r feeding.. Flush it all out with pure water real good. And prepare a mix of balance fert..

Hey thanks for your input. I already overfertilized and was asking if distilled by itself was safe in order to balance out things.. So from my understanding of what you’re saying is that I’m adding salt with distilled water?

Yes that how you remove salt built up. Don't get us wrong tho.. The process is called osmose. The nut and salt built up in and aroud the plant and that are absord in the plant when in contact with distiled water wil try to set the distilled water to the same level of electric conductivity. When level his balance osmoses stops. So the more you do it the more salt will be reduce. Its also inportant not to over do it, to avoid removing nhtrient that the plant need. You can always add less salt fertilizer in each feed. But that is only a goid technique on first signs of problems. When the problement is already advance then the complete drain distilled water is best... For optimal overfeed water flush. You can use a reverse osmoses with an di systeme that will remore anything metal or trace elemwnt from the water. More pure then dustilled. The water will dilluted nut faster thus way and can help save a crop that is heading toward disaster... Never fallow a fertilizer recepie.. Alaways start with a 10-25% dosasa and work you way up., every pkant are diffrent. Some are tolerent to chemical fertilise more then other. Find your sweet spot for every strain on your own.. Eht wirks form me may not work you. But laws of phhsic do aplie to all

Week5 everyone.. I’m tryin my bestView attachment 4413414
You can tie down your 3 highest cola to the height of the forth highest. Wit low stess at this point or by mild chiroparctice train (i would go hard on the cola.. Just hold the stem hard with one hand using finger and twist the stem with other hand to brake stem lightly inside so the stem become soft. Check video online. Its and old growers trick.. The when cola are lower. You will be able to lower light to get more energie to lower bud without burning tops. You can also tie her down at a few spotvto hold them in place.. You'll have a more even harvest. Yiu could have done this 3 weeks ago. But its not to late now.. I would sugest tying it
down if you are not confortable with chiro or stem popping.

Are you in soil, soiless, or hydro? And yes, you most likely should PH it. What’s your PH reading in your mix?

Looking good!
Still got some time to go, do yourself a favor and dont do anything drastic, she will finish fine.
I appreciate that! Thank you. At this point she’s getting nothing but distilled water with ffbb(organic) and molasses.today she gets that plus 1/4 strength cal mag.
I may throw in a 1/4 tsp at most of the FFTiger Bloom.I Did that the last feed. She’s fading So all is well I’m hoping. Just learning how to grow!
