Nuit burn, but what should I do?

So my buddy gave me some nuits, I put a tablespoon of each in a gallon of distilled and it was great, he also gave me a few more scoops in little plastic shot glasses so if I run out I have more, well the shot glasses over time started to evaporate, and my dumb ass, in stead of tossing them, I added them to my water.. stupid and impatient.. so I watered them for a few weeks, one time with nuits, next 2 times with distilled water, I started seeing burn and stopped nuits completely.. so basically it's been about 2 weeks watering ONLY with distilled, and I'm still seeing new burn.... any reasons this might happen? Also someone told me if I get water on the leaves as I feed that the light can amplify and cause a burn look? I don't think that's correct, but figured I'd toss it out there for discussion.

Thanks

S/B interesting.

Do you have drain holes in your tupperware? Also, how big is that container? You've got several things going on so lets start with the most serious of your problems and that would be that you've sent a shit ton of nutes into what appears to be about ~6 cups of soil. Those roots are getting torched. You need to flush some of that out as soon as you can.

A tablespoon? What brand nutes are they? Multiple issues and a lot revolve around the roots. Put that in something bigger and with very good drainage. Any container of plastic that OCCLUDES light will be fine. Melt holes in the bottom with a heated paperclip or a soldering iron/hobby pencil (one of my most used grow tools is a soldering iron to make instant planters out of any plastic container). Buy General Hydroponics Flora series nutes. All 3 bottles. Mix them at 1/4 strength if you have no meters. Use all 3 parts in your feeds as shown on the label when mixing the feeds. Don't mix ahead of time. Etc.

edit;nute
you can pull the plant and wash the dirt off the roots,than re plant into a 1 gallon nursery pot in a soil less mix,be sure to tell us your ppm reading

A tablespoon OF EACH...and a few more scoops.

Ya looks like burn and nitrogen claw. Try to leach the nutrients out of the soil with a couple large waterings with way more water coming out the bottom than you think necessary. Also spraying the plants has been known to mess up leaves a bit if the light source is powerful enough. I dont spray my plants for fun, thats for sure. Trim the burn tips off and continue. The burn may last a while and keep going for a bit but it should stop pretty soon after the soil leach. Itll come back just fine.

So you may have over fed them a tad but it doesn't really look that bad and it doesn't really look like anything burned it , but to me I wonder if it is not actually deficient in something.I Don't know what kind of nutrients were actually given to you or what mixture they are planted in but . 1 if you are using the distilled water as you say you are then where would they be getting their calcium and magnesium requirements as well as all the micornutrients? 2 You are watering with no nutrients and you say that you are still seeing more of the same "burn" progressing and not getting better? You are deficient in calcium and magnesium and a host of other micro/macro nutrients. I see a definitive calcium deficiency for starters. My opinion only,

I'm honestly really new to the indoor grow/nutrient game, I usually just let mother nature do her thing. I'll do my best here, so the nutes I used were cal-mag, grow big, and some other fox farm organic shit that was super low like 1-2-1 or something. its a PC grow (hence the small container) but now your saying it shouldn't be clear? makes sense i guess.. I do have a little more room than i expected so ill transplant asap.. I thought i stunted the growth from topping but I must have done some root damage, because it hasn't done a thing for a while, it looks better than it has the last few weeks but it hasn't done much growing. So tomorrow ill have a larger pot and flush the shit out of it, I'll have my buddy re-mix a batch for me and I WONT TOUCH IT! haha I didnt realize I was playing with fire when it came to that stuff.

also unfortunatly I dont have a PH test, so that will be on the todo list.
