      Im pretty sure that one is labled ready to use. I’m not sure if that means just washed or if it is buffered with cal mag as well. I’m interested in more replies.

    The picture with the damaged leaves show an issue with your pH. When the pH swings quickly out of range leaves will deform, twist and form random brown splotches. This will typically lead to lockout and other nutrient deficiency symptoms appearing. Check the run off next feeding to get an idea of where the pH is at and go from there.
