Help please!! Emergency!

Need some help please! Check out the first couple pics. It’s a Barney’s farm runts auto. It’s at day 11 from sprout. I noticed some issues a couple days ago that some cal mag would do the trick so I gave her a good waterin and here’s what I got a day later. It looks like signs of re veg but know it can’t be cause it’s auto flowering. Common sense tells me it’s nutrient toxicity from the calmag, but not sure if it is in fact. The new and old growth has rounded leaf edges is canoeing up. Also, it appears glossy and more lime green. Whats the deal and What do I do?

pics 3 and 4 show the orange critical auto. Been doing well so far but the leaf edges are all curling up slightly all over the plant. These plants have only been given distilled water, under a 300w led, 20 inches up. Temps between 75 and 88 F. Humidity is at 40%

Haha maybe not… which is great news I guess. I just wanna raise right and be here to support them. But I added calmag bc I thought I was looking at a deficiency. First time grower, btw. Anyways, the soil is a custom blend of ffof 30%, nls autoflower concentrate, 30%, and organic seed starter mix at 40%.

I'd quit using distilled water, tap water is fine if you adjust PH, ~6.3 for soil, and either let it set out for a few hours or use an air stone to minimize chlorine. How often do you water and do you water until run out? Do an online search for plant edema, its caused from over watering.
 
The plants are getting water once every 4 to 5 days until 5% runoff. I check moisture with a meter and with my finger. For the first week I sprayed them only and wet the medium. When I added the calmag and went to ph the water I overdid it and had the bring the ph back up. Could this be the culprit? I’d like to think it was just a genetic mutation but the growth is lime green now, similar to cabbage leaves. Though I haven’t noticed any pests

Nothing wrong with plants. Need to lower your heat to around 80 and raise the humidity. Also need to water plant properly and probably start feeding in a week.

When you added the calmag and messed up the PH do you remember what the PH was when you watered? Can post a current pic?

I don't ph shit in soil i dose my tanks silica first microbes last churn and send. Coco I add everything and adjust to a smooth 6 same for any hydro if I do it anymore.
 
When I pH’d the water, It went down to like 5.0 and then I brought it back up to 5.8 before watering. Here she is today after a good watering. No nutes yet for this one bc of the issues it’s had. Another question though.. what’s the best way to train these autos, or should I even be training at all?

I’ve got 3 others going right now, all within a day or two on age. 2 healthy ones I have been bending and tying down and recently fimmed them. I hope that was the right call.. we shall see. I think that they are recovering well, although it may have been a tad late, they got chopped on day 15.. last two pics show them.. they are just so short right now I feel like I cannot do too much with them at this point. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
