PH is all about nutrient take-up. To low, or to high and the plant will not take up the nutrients from your solution that it needs for healthy, vigorous growth.
As suggested above, get a bottle of PH Down at your local hydro store ... or at WalMart in the aquarium section. Use it a little at a tiime, otherwise, you'll be chasing the PH back up with a bottle of PH "UP."
