Might be nute burn. What's the make up of your fertilizer? Also, ALL pH levels should fall within 5.5-6.5, so your soil pH is a little high.

Not really unless you're using only perlite. If the plant has been good till now I doubt it's the soil, there are ideals, but individual plants adapt well to ranges not in the ideal. All I know is that your fert is no good. You want to get one as close to 20-5-14 for vegging as you can. Close to 5-15-14 for flowering.

most fertilizers will lower the ph of the water when you add them to the water wich will lower the soil ph over time

I was actually about to ask about that, what is the pH of your fertilizer? Before I fertilize my plants I pre-mix it and test the pH, it's normally about 4.5, I then level out the pH to 6 before feeding to my plants.

get a better fertilizer, pre-mix it and test before giving to your plants, adjust the pH as necessary, see how they do. They don't look like they;re going to fall over and die anytime soon.

I use General Hydroponics Maxigrow, it's good for both hydroponic and soil use. It's levels are 10-5-14 and my plants are just eating it up. Pretty much just read product backs in the fert section of whatever store you go to till you find one that fits as close as you can get to the ideal 20-5-14.
