So you water with distilled every time, do you add cal-mag+ everytime? You're watering with water that has 0 micro and macro nutrients in it.. I can't believe I never asked your water source before.

So do I need to start adding cal-mag to by water everytime?
And can u please tell me if I should use ph'd water before feeding more bloom or if u should just keep adding bloom?
Yeah man, at least a half teaspoon per gallon... there's no way 75/25 OF/LW has enough micro and macro nutrients in it and distilled has 0.. It depends on dose really, some folks like to push their plants.. used FoxFarms feeding schedule for the stuff you have and reduce the dosage by 50-75% is the best way to stay safe until you're dialing in.
Feed with Cal-Mag at least 2 of the 3 waterings a week ..

well i heard pk are light feeders so i will give my smaller pk some ph'd water today and more bloom in a few days to be safe..
I know you said to start giving some cal-mag and i can probaly get some real soon but i have a flat right now and the hydroponic store is far so do you think i should add a teaspoon or so of epsom salt to the distilled water im using to give it some mag?
Sure, but epsom salts are better used for foliar feeding because epsom salt is a surfactant so it helps the leaves absorb better that way.. but foliar feeding in bloom is something I don't do or advise. A little epsom in the water can't hurt. the lime flush would help with cal-mag as well although it's no replacement for Cal-Mag+
yo man heres the result of a slurry test i did with some soil scraped off the top then mixed with bottled water ( i was told it didnt matter which kind)
i let it sit awhile then tested some heres a pic its hard to tell for me honestly what u think..
and if its low can i even it by watering with distilled thats around 7 or will only adding lime even things back out?
OF not having enough crushed oyster shells in it to bring it up to 6.5+.

your between 6.0-6.5 -- you will see the difference between 5 and 6 as 5 is way more orange.
you can top dress with dolomite lime above the soil as well as water it with the dolomite mixed in as well.
overtime the dolomite lime will be activated and it will help balance out the soil youre using.
