Ph problem?

i admittedly have not been adjusting the ph of my water. I'm growing in soil and the ph is probably going in at 7.5 - 8 from the tap. Is this the result?

Not at a glance. how many weeks? plants overs all perky and happy? what's your nute regiment?

Currently in week 4 of flower. Plants look healthy and happy overal other than this issue. I am feeding the Fox Farm Trio. Buds are forming nicely and starting to fatten up.

I think I might have figured out what's going on. I tested the ph of my water and the ph of my water with my nutrients mixed in. The water by itself is at 8 and once I mix the nutes in it's at 5.5. So I have been following the fox farm feeding schedule and feeding every other watering. I water basically every 3 days, so every 3 days the ph is fluctuating in the water I give the plants. I ordered some ph up and down and I am going to start adjusting the ph of the water to 6.3 every time I water/feed. What do you guys think about this plan? Do you think I need to flush first or just start adjusting?

Its not the damn ph, stop it. You over fed it, it look s like nute burn. Ph iis irrelevant in a decent soil.

okay guy, thanks for stopping by. Really appreciate it.

When I screw up the PH it usually causes yellowing of the leaves, I agree with Pappa that it is nute burn. You should flush them then start with 1/2 doses of nutes and see where that get you.

First you need to be sure about your ph. Second give details on your grow such as medium, lights, nutrients and all that

I'm sure that my PH is 5.5 with nutes and 8.0 without. I'm watering every 3 days and every other watering I feed nutes. I'm using the fox farm trio following fox farms feed schedule. Medium is fox farms ocean forest in 2 gal smart pots. It is a 4 plant scrog in a 3x3 tent. Lighting is 4 x 300 watt vipar spectra leds.
