Yellowing up top anything to be concerned about?

The yellowing is pretty bad... something looks out of whack. Double check your ph (~5.6 for veg) and ec (~0.7-1.1 depending on method), and that your light isn't too close.

ph shocks, as in lowering or increasing it by more than 1 unit is bad for soil, aeroponics won't look so bad after some difference. In my experience, in soil I did exactly that, I lowered the ph too much and they looked exactly like yours.

Thank you, I used a borrowed pH meter to check the pH. And adjusted to 5.4 as my nutrient labels instructed!

What else can I do to make them not go yellow?

Should I just wait and see if it gets better now?

used vinegar to adjust pH, buying pH up and down in a week.

pictures is before and after ph tests

@stonedest the water I got this time is from a water store this time and they say the ppm is <20 then added the nutes to that. PH after adding the nutrients is now 5.3.

Thank you for the help guys.

Sounds good, just be careful if you are following what's on labels. A lot of the time what they list there is really high. I strongly recommend investing in an EC meter so you know exactly what you are putting in.

Plant looks very healthy today, the yellow didn't go away but the new leaves on top is green with no yellow at all, I just cut all the yellow leaves in half.

will post a picture later when I go to the grow room!

I am not an expert and my practical knowledge is less then most, but I research a lot, the curling down of the upper leaves is also a deficiency. I can't remember which one, and I might be wrong, but its worth looking into.
