Ph for soil is 6-7, 6.4-6.8 being optimal. How old are they? I ask cuz FFHF has calmag & Nutes to feed plants for 3-4 weeks and too much too soon may cause lockout, especially with watering at a low ph.

There about a month old.
 
I bet its the distilled water. Zero PPM.

If you drop a fish in distilled water, the osmosis will cause it to swell and burst.

As it absorbs CO2 it becomes slightly acidic, carbonic acid.

2H20 + CO2 --> H2O + H2CO3 (carbonic acid) --> H3O+ (hydronium) + HCO3- (bicarbonate ions)
 
It could be cause there 2 different types of plants with same problem. What water should I use i would like to buy ro system but just dont have the $$$$ for that yet.

Is there something preventing you from using tap water?
 
I do a 50/50 mix of tap/rainwater. My tap comes out at 200-210 ppm. I mix it down to 100-110 w/rainwater. I did this with FFHF soil and never Had a cal or Mg issue. it may be worth a try, but I don’t know what ur tap water is like.
