Don't even try making your life hard. All I see is a big healthy plant. The leaves drying off are on the 1st or 2nd true set of leaves. You shouldn't worry about them, I usually clean the first few set of leaves once the plant get bigger.
pH of 6.5 is perfect for soil growing.
How long ago did you transplant? What are you feeding this plant and how often do you water?

Everyone always screams out ph issue when they can't figure out what the hell is wrong with their plants.

Soil is forgiving when it comes to "ph" it acts as a buffer, hydro is another story.

SweetHayz is asking the right questions. If you transplanted awhile ago could be your plant is starving for some nitrogen. Feed her. That's the reason she's using the oldest leaves to support the new growth

Way too soon to randomly start fixing shit that probably aint broke. These two leaves could just be simply dropping themselves and moving on up from lack of light ect
If you really did have a pH problem you would notice it much more then two leaves.
If you really had nitrogen deficiency those leaves would just yellow out with dark stems and dark petioles.
It is possible you might have an early macro/iron deficiency. But i would wait for further signs from the foliage before even attempting to add anything.
Also,if you water with nutes, that could definetly burn the bottom foliage if the water floats up top for a bit before draining.

If the soil pH is too high that could be a problem. Not the mostly likely problem, but still, I don't know what the OP has going on at all, more info is better but it is probably exactly as you say, too soon to worry.

thanks everyone for the advice there, i am probably stressing hard on the bottom couple leafs dying lol, the big ones were transplanted a good bit ago in like 10 gals or somewhere near there, also ordering dynagro incase ever needs it throughout its life i just use a 30-10-10 soil never fed yet really just a little bloodmeal and yeah been watering whenever first inch or two is really dry

Its was just about time to start feeding. The bottom leaves are yellowing because the plant is eating them. Nothing to worry about tho. 30-10-10 is good for veg. Feed every other watering. Only make sure u don't overfert it, tds meter can be helpful. :)

Oh yes ^_^. Now this is a nitrogen burn.
Cut down the nutes immediately. Plain water or you may flush if you like.
Do you use tds meter or you feed them blind doses?
