Mg Deficient?

Ok, this is my first post here, and this is my first try at hydro. Here are the basics that you guys ask for...

Plant Age: 3 Weeks
Strain: Unknown (Possibly White Rhino)
Hydro Or Soil: Hydroponic
Medium: Coconut Noir/Perlite
Type Of Light: 2 CFL
Atmosphere: Closet, w/Fan for air circulation
Waterings: Distilled, Aerated with an AirStone
Nutrients: Has just been flushed
Water Temperature: ~24.9C

Can anybody help me with this? I've been looking, and looking at pictures and posts about issues with growing, and while I think I've narrowed it down, I want to make sure I'm right before I go and try to fix it...
Everything was going great until about 3 days ago, when the leaf-tips started to shrivel a tad bit. Now, there are splotches of shiny green-brown on the leaves, and the edges are curling slightly. I think it may be Mg deficiency, as from what I have read, the leaves curl like this from it. Still, I'm not certain, and would appreciate any help. I flushed out the nutes yesterday, and have had it in distilled water since. Any ideas?

Here are the pictures:

Yes, I did have nutes, but I disposed of the solution, and now have the plant in distilled water, with a little bit of epsom salts. However, I didn't flush the perlite, as I did not want it all to float away while flushing it. Any ideas?

You don't need to flush. What's the pH?

The pH is right at 7.0

Way too high baby. Hydro and soil-less mixes at 5.2-5.8. Your plant is starting to lock out nutrients.

Wow! I can't believe I let that one slip by me there! Oh well, we all have our moments ... Anyways, thanks for the help, it was very much appreciated
So now, I essentially just acidify the solution till I'm at the proper pH?
