Face your heater the other way. Dont have it directly on plants. Give it a few days itll recover. Dont water unless dry

Hands down everyone posting knows more than I here but one thing I did learn on my current and first grow was I was feeding too much in my Roots Organic soil at first. I used spring water and calmag after that and let the plants feed off of the soil only for a few weeks. 50% RH and 79 temp. I was told by lots of peeps that nutes are #5 in importance behind light, water, temp and RH.

Apologies. The distilled water is the root of your problem. Get some spring water at the cheap store. Ph it to 6.2. and water your plants 1 cup of ph'd water at a time at the stem. About 15 minutes between cups. Is going to take a little while. stop watering when you see run off coming out of the pot. Then in half an hour drain or remove any over flow or drainage . Then lift your plant pot. This is the weight of a satured pot. Get used to that weight and do not water aain until the pot feels light to you. You also need to mix a teaspoon of epsoms salt to a gallon of spring water. then mist your plants with it until they are wet and starting to drip. No ph is neccessary on these fo;iar sprays. Next we need to address medium.

Thank you I should’ve done more research rather then take some phony class online on how to grow indoor. I’ll flush them with spring water as soon as they dry from the flushing of the distilled water today. I’ll do it exactly as you said and focus and keeping the plants healthy. I’ll keep you and everyone updated. Again I appreciate all of the support and feedback that I’m getting. I’m glad there’s websites like these where I can get help.

Get a bucket and fill it with water and use it after 24 hours. If you're flushing use normal water first and then use the bucket water.

Tap water contains chlorine and fluoride or fluorine in most cities. Both are toxic. Especially to microbes in your soil. I use a charcoal inline filter. Makes all my plants healthier. I've run side by side comparisons.

That's why you leave it out for 24 hours. It's fine the guys only doing a few plants

I looked up a charcoal filter I plan on getting one later on but it’s too expensive at the moment.

Hey Ray. The Crystal Geyser water I use is like 8-10 PPM and on the label they say they don't add anything. Am I missing something about added salts or are there other brands that add salt/minerals that you are referring to.

Between 6 &12 PPM on every brand I've ever purchased. Somebody is selling someone mineral water. There are a bunch of crazy water formulas on the market. Spring water should be about 10% TDS of tap water. Glad you have better tap water than me. Mine tastes like chemicals before the charcoal. Wish I didn't need the $40 filters. Peace.

What do you recommend for watering if I can’t afford a filter right now.

I would suggest tap water. Just bring it to a boil then turn it off and let it cool. Should remove all the chlorine. Just don't cover it as it cools.

The chlorine usually valproate itself in 12 to 24 hours. Give it a try and leave some out and give it a taste test. You'll see a big difference
