Help! This is my first grow ever, and I've been having problems with my plan. I found out after using my soil that it contained nutes, and now my leaves are yellow on the bottom, and turn to a light green to a dark green as you reach the top. Whats wrong and how can I fix it?

Unfortunately no, not yet, moneys a bit short to be spending it on the plant, maybe a few months down the road I might be able to get them but for right now I can't. I am going to get some litmus paper and test the PH, but as for the soil its a mixture of 25% perlite, 25%vermiculite and 50%potting soil that i found out after has 0.08Nitrogen-0.24Phosphate and .08 potash. Is there any way to stop this from burning my plant? Can I flush it numerous times or should i remix a different soil, this time without fertilizers? What would be my best chance?
Ok to make a long story short, in the past while, I have replanted my plant in non-fertilized soil, also transplanting it because the roots were a bit cramped, and now it is day 3 since the transplant and I am hoping that the problem has been solved. I will also be getting a PH meter and PPM pen soon, so that will also help.
Let me know your ideas, I'll post some more pics to show what's been happening and how the yellow leaves were still occurring up to a few days ago. . . waiting on results.

I bought one of those cheap soil testers, and the ph looked to be 7 or around there. I am getting a ph tester soon, what can I use to lower it in soil and how much would I use. I've read a few different ways, but I'm looking for personal opinions and thing's you guys found worked.
Well so far things are going well, the plants bottom leaves are no longer turning yellow as well as starting to turn back green. I've been noticing that some of the stalks had bits of red to them, but now they are also turning green as well. So far it looks like the plant is female, but the tips have been drooping lately, any ideas why?
