there is a variety of things you can use to bring the ph of your water down (which if your soil is that high it could be a buildup) you shoud test your ph after your nutes also. Looks like you have some lockout. Nothing a good flush couldn't take care of. What are you using to test the ph??? a digital or analog ( home depot) meter?? what kind of soil are you using?? what kind of nutes are you using??
my advice would be to flush with plain ph'd water then on your last flush add quarter strength nutes. But IMO i would test the water with the nutes and see what it reads.
I fucking hate ph problems. They are a total mystery sometimes to me. ALSO..
are you feeding enough?? it looks like you have some burn but it could be a def also

im using MG soil and MG nutes. i know its not good but it worked well on my last grow and im pretty low budget.((got laid off from my job)) i have a 14$ ph tester from my local green house. so wut could i use to lower the ph of my water so i can flush??

grower001, I'm new to the grow but I've read that Vinegar is used to raise soil PH, and that Baking soda (Bicarbonate Soda) is used to lower PH, Also I give my plants mineral water which has a PH of 7.3, I also add a teaspoon of molasses as a fertiliser, As i've said I'm new to growing so sorry, If i'm stating the obvious
