Is my high PH causing my plants to wilt and droop like this (PICS)

I just got around to get a PH kit. Put these into flower june 1st. Had the problem ever since they started needing more water back when they were in 4 inch pots.

I JUST measured my PH and its 8.5. I know it should be 6.5 but is the high PH the problem here?

I also havent been letting my water sit out . Just straight room temperature tap water directly to the plants

Yep, thats what happened to mine with 8.5 water, fixed the problem and this round is rocking. Your tap water has chlorine in it as well which is bad for them too. Stop using that water asap. Good Luck

Do you think if i change my water source my plants will come back or should i start over?

PH isn't probably your only issue. Odds are that if you are using tap water, your PPM is way high. My tap water has a PPM of over 500!!! You really got to take the time to read up on the basics and then you will have much better results.. You must control your entire indoor environment (water, air, CO2, temp, pests, disease). You must stay on top of all of it.. Much easier to make little changes here and there then it is to wait until something is so out of control that you finally notice it.. I suggest you grab either Jorges book on growing or get the new Ed Rosenthal book. I just picked it up last week and it is really good!!

ive read tons of books. I have many sucessful grows under my belt. This is honestly the biggest probelm i have had in the last 4 years and i cant figure it out. im pretty sure its my water. I used to have a chlorine filter on my tap but it broke. My growing environment conditions are perfect.
