Why do you think your soil ph is 7???
Run off?
Slurry test?
Run off means nothing, so if that's what yer going by disregard any results you get

Guy at the grow shop is talking hydro, 6.5 - 7 is just fine for soil and you're already there. There's nothing wrong with it.
In my very honest opinion, that plant needs / needed a bigger pot.

That means nothing
Is it in flower?
Tap water?
How much Calmag?
Why just bloom nutes, is that normal with Remo, not familiar with it

Your first pic shows a very healthy plant. Your second picture shows focus on one leaf, some in the background look healthy also. I wouldn't listen to any advice from the "guy at the grow shop", a good pH range for soil is 6-7 with 6.5 being optimal. Worry and constant changes to the plant from over reacting will ruin that plant worse than any minor deficiency it has.

I was wondering why the thought of a PH issue came about... I'd leave it as is.. and feed at 6.5

Yea that guy does have a knack for growing bad ideas. It's that big.. and looks pretty healthy. I say don't change. Find your deficiency and treat. once new growth is growing in fine, remove the ugly ducklings and keep an eye out for corrections in the deficiency.

way too much calmag if you asked me. Even with distilled water I only put 5ml max per gallon. I'd ditch the tap.

Tap is actually really good in Promix
Mine is crap, like 500-650ppm, and works really good
Now in DWC...it's garbage...lol
