Well this answers a few things I see.

First off STOP any flushing! You did not have an overage or nutrient toxicity of any kind.....Now you do have an S and Ir def.!
See the new growth being thin and yellow? Sulfur and Iron def.....

What are you feeding with - list everything that goes in!

Get some Age Old Kelp extract and foliar feed some at 2tsp per gallon. Cover spray both top and bottom of leaves. (Iron and Sulfur)
OR
A good Ca/Mg product like G&H CALi MAGic......This particular one will help control pH swings and slowly add back the Iron and the Sulfur...

Soil self pH's and you really don't "need" to attempt to adjust it.
Sometimes you may add some dolomite lime to the soil and mix it in before planting. - Depending on the soil mix used.
If you "push" your plants with a synthetic. You should do a watering with a simple bio tea at least once a week. That adds back active living bio's to the soil aiding in many ways - YES, even with synthetic use...

If you feel you must pH your in-going. pH to 6.5 in veg and 6.7 in bloom and forget about "soil" pH!
Was thinking sulfer and iron difficency myself. Maybe zinc as well. See some twisting and curving of the newer leaves.

I always get the PH of my water to 5.8-6.0.
That works great for me.

When i'm in week 6 or 7 of flowering the nutes alone will take my water down to approx 6.2 PH. Where i'm from the water from the tap has a PH of roughly 7.2ish.

I will try and water with green tea sometime soon though. It sounds interesting.

That being said i have only been doing it for about 2 years. So i'm no expert.
No, not "green tea" a Simple AACT bio tea.

Down to 6.2 is actually ok.....you water and the pH of the soil swings down about around point and as the soil dries back out. it raises back up to it's normal pH.....It's the soil pH that swings and the water pH has very little to do with that - unless,,,you have radical low or high pH solutions going in (like more then 1 point low or high and you continually use that)
 
Plant is getting better since i put in new soil. Just used promix and added a little bit of perlite. Have only been giving it straifht water lately but the plant with four leafs is growing another set of four.
