pH problems

sulfur.
Pine needles and other organic mulch/compost can lower it as well, albeit slowly...

I would have the sol properly tested first though to see what might be missing from the soil, or if there are any toxic levels of anything.

ph up and down lol. other than that vinegar and baking soda does the same things

Yeah go to your local hydro store and get a bottle of PH down and PH up for about 10 bucks.

Are we talking white distilled vinegar or does it matter? I ask because my ph is close to 8 so I'm guessing it needs to come down.

Yeah if you are in soil try and get it down to 7. I have never used vinegar PH up/down is so cheap its too hard to pass up.

I hear ya bro, just the closest hydro shop is 37 miles from me one way..and I got a whole bottle of wally world vinegar here. The vinegar shouldn't hurt the plants, right? I mean as long as I'm not jamming a funnel in the soil and pouring the bottle in While ur here bro, care to jump down to this and see what u think? Leaf issues

I do not have a hydro store in my town what about a product Espoma Organic Traditions Garden Sulfur Soil Acidifier. Is there more then one thing that can make your soils pH go up or down? I am sorry I am very new at this.

I have heard growers use vinegar for ph down and citric acid for PH up...From your pictures I kind of wanted to say heat issues because the leaf curling( but you said your temps were in the 80's), but if you are using Fox Farm Ocean forest soil it might be nute burn because Ocean forest comes with time released nutes.. I'm more of a hydro guy but I have used Ocean Forest and Happy Frog a few times and you dont need to add any nutes for a good 3-4 weeks, so it might be nute burn. It doesnt look that bad I would just water and monitor it.
