First time grower. Plant problem. Help appreciated

In veg stage. I had a ph problem to start as it was high but rectified when started testing, the water has been 6.2 for a few weeks. Growing in soil under a 250w metal halide. I have used minimal nutrients Dutch feat brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

raise your ph to 6.5
hmmmm........so you figure a .3 change in PH is causing all his problems? ya this is the second thread in a row you've been on, first to answer, and you've said PH is off. A really smart man once told me that when someone at the hydro store tells you that your PH is off, thats its really code for i don't have a fucking clue whats wrong with it so just buy something and shut the fuck up. Is that whats going on here? cause your zero for two bud.
to me it just looks like a calmag problem, you know, cause he says that he's just using a tiny bit of base nutrients and no calmag in a dirt system. you know, he probably could be lacking some other micro nutrients as well since he hasn't used much fertilizer on them. I'm sure you were about to ask what type of dirt he's using. it could be that promix "dirt", or that coco "dirt", or sunshine "dirt", or maybe its from his back yard and made up of dog crap and sand from his old sand box cause that sand box grows good weeds all year long. i mean honestly who the fuck phs a soil grow anyway unless their way off? nutes usually buffer the water to a useable ph anyway where I'm from most of the time. unless your adding a pile of silica to the mix and then you might need to reach for that ph tester.

Ummm...this has nothing to do with PH. He burn't the crap out of them. Whatever you do don't give them anything else. If you run some water through them and give them some time they should be fine.

Before you go calling people dumbass you need to have your own house in order. You know jack about growing in soil/soiless. The PH of your water/solution is meaningless so long as your alkalinity is in check. You do know what alkalinity is don't you? I grow with mineral salts in Promix HP and don't PH anything. Been told on numerous occasions that I must PH this and PH that to some arbitrary number. Had nothing but problems. Forget about PH and pay attention to your waters alkalinity and PPM's. I think the results speak for themselves. DSC_0145.JPG

using salts and not phing your water is stupid unless your running full organics. why are you talking about making sure this person has the right ph here ....this is a post from "you" https://www.rollitup.org/t/seedling-plants-problems-please-help-different-strains-different-problems.855055/#post-11174427
