just transplanted my guys from keg cups to 3 gallon smart pots so they can grow out to sex. i put about an inch of super soil on the bottom so they would have something to munch on. before i transplanted them i noticed some leaf curl on pretty much every one, in fact one of them was tacoing. after the transplant i was able to get my hands on a ph meter and i just tested the runoff to be about 5.6 which from my understanding is way too low. what can i use to get my ph back up to the correct range?
first super soil grow nute lock! organic solutions?

You need to go back and read about the supersoil again bud. Picttures would be helpful also. They are probably just adjusting to there new soil.

if you made the soil correctly a problem caused by "incorrect" ph is highly unlikely. make sure you can eliminate the possiblity of envrionmental issues first, such as high heat or overwatering/underwatering.

If everything environmental is correct as the above poster suggested.....And you are giving them a little time to acclimate to the soil.... If all that is on point and they still arent right try a compost tea.....
I dont hold a whole lot of faith in testing run off..... its only passing through the soil briefly and the PH of the moisture in the soil is going to change as the things in the soil absorb it and decay/rot....whatever.... I will take loads of shit for that statement but I'm sticking with it..... If you want to test the PH of the soil.....test the soil not the run off..... Brew up a compost tea with some worm castings or good compost (learn a bit about how to make and properly use aact/compost teas first) and it will help straighten everything out....The microbeasties will straighten the PH out for you..... I'm guessing you did something similar to what I did was not wet your SS enough which is like not letting it cook at all or are using it too soon or it wasnt mixed properly...... Shit happens.... It'll work out.
Also I would not suggest flowering these plants yet.... get them straightened out and healthy first... post back with your results.
