Another question - how often do you water?

Another question - how often do you water?

 
I water with filtered water whenever the top 2 inch of the pots are dry. I water until a few drops drip out.

Filtered is a bad idea. Not only are you removing certain minerals but you're also adding A LOT of bacteria by running it though a filter.

Would RO water be better, with added nutrients to get the ppm up?
 
On a side note, one of my Trinidad Scorpions has been losing leafs from the bottom up and now the lowest leaf looks like this (see photo). That to me looks like a N deficiency. Correct?

Tap water is the best way to go. Could be nitrogen deficiency, yes.

I know you checked it, but it really looks like pest damage to me.

I will be monitoring these three plants for another 7 days, and if they do not improve, they'll will be tossed out.
