Just curious as to what this issue looks like to you guys. It’s in ffof soil and I’ve just started giving it half doses of the big bloom and grow big nutrients from fox farm last week. Just mixing that in with a teaspoon of cal mag in my distilled water gallon jugs. I’m assuming it can’t be an environment issue because it’s about 70-75 degrees and between 50-60% humidity in the grow tent. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
What’s wrong with my plants?

it looks like a deficiency that you may have worked out. look at the new growth. I'm no expert, but doesn't look like bug damage. Don't over water. someone else can prob tell you the deficiency. The best advice I can give...don't be impatient and overdo things. less is more

I don't know fuck all about soil grows...to be honest, but Noone else has chimed in. I've seen that sort of growth and deficiency before. And I'd have to GUESS it need's to be watered more often with the right amount of nutrients and correct the pH. They look hungry and thirsty.

How long ago was it up-potted? FFOF takes, at least, a couple weeks before it should have any nutes added, but I wasn't sure of the timing based on your description.
Do you feed every watering, every other, some other schedule?
Do you know the PPM of your runoff?
Good that you're adding calmag since you're using distilled. Is your tap water not suitable? It would be better if it doesn't have any significant issues. Distilled lacks a lot of micronutrients that aren't part of normal feedings (calmag is just one piece of that puzzle). Spring water, I've read, would be better than distilled, if you can't use tap.
It looks like the spots are only on old growth, which is good, especially if it isn't spreading/growing.
They do look quite basil-like, a little down-turned at the tips, and quite shiny, which points back at feeding too early with FFOF, but not sure. Some strains, I've had in FFOF, will do that just from the nutes already in FFOF itself.
Sorry, not really an answer, and instead a bunch of questions... but I'm leaning toward slightly over-fed...
