68 is ok, but don't keep her in 40's for more than a night or two, otherwise the growth will really slow down, and below 40 for extended periods (a week)) is where I got my lockout, Indica worse than my Sativa.

Update:

I checked my PH today using wide range pet shop PH tester.

My tap water reads about 7.5 From my understanding my PH should be around 5.5 - 6 right?

I also picked up some distilled water which tests right at 6.0 maybe lower but i can't read anything below 6

So what should i do?

Also check my ph of my nutes and it read 6.0 but could be lower as i cant read it... I really need a digital PH tester..

Also it seems be getting a lot worse. Ill take some pics here in the next few hours.

I went flushed both my larger plants with distilled water and then checked the PH of the run off it too tested @ or below 6.0 PH

It should be around 6.5 for maximum nutrient uptake if in soil. Did you check the PH of the runoff water?

Dude, don't waste money on distilled, if you WANT pay for something, get spring water or something, but most people complain about distilled, because it is so clean.
Just take a clean bucket, fill it and let your water vent over night to evap off the chlorine, then PH that down to 6.5 or close with white distilled vinegar, about 1 capful from the Heinz bottle per liter brings my PH down almost a full point.View attachment 2399073View attachment 2399075

I did check the run off, but the test strips i was able to buy today only read to 6.0 ... It tested @ or below 6.0

Tomorrow im going to buy a nicer kit from my local hydro shop.

I just moved her into this pot about week ago .. Before that she was in something about 1/2 the size.

I can pickup a larger pot thats not a big deal but would it shock her much to transplant into a larger pot?

Nah, just don't drop her, or let the cat play with her, shake off a little soil, mix some perlite and lime into your soil (couple tsp/ gallon of soil, that will also help with the lime getting into the soil faster and more evenly than trying to water in from the top.
Is that pot a 2 1/2 gallon? She looks nice and bushy, and I think a 5 gallon would fit well.
Also, I wouldn't worry right now about getting any more testing stuff for your PH, because once you put some dolomite lime in, and PH your water going in, it should not be below 6 anyway.
Don't worry, I transplanted 2 of mine, at 5 weeks or so into flower and they were fine.

What is that now? a 1g, or 2.5?
If it was me, I would go ahead and go straight into a 5g, that way she should be OK the rest of your grow. Maybe get a little tight at the very end, but should be OK.
Just make sure you don't make a newb mistake, and just set her in the larger pot, and have the new width, and 4" of unusable space at the top.
Put new soil under her also, so the roots can grow out AND also down. :)
