I have lime. Gonna mix it up in some water and feed it in a couple days..just water w/ lime. Are there any other ways to fix this problem? The top of the soil has a good ph but as u go deeper it gets lower and lower.

Always ph the water to 6.8 before feeding. I use tap water But I leave it in open bottles for 3 days before feeding. The ph as of 8 hours ago was at 4.7 its really showing a nitrogen def from lock out. yeah my tester is the one u stick in the soil.

Baking soda works for a higher ph

Well I mixxed up 1 tbsp- 1 Litre of water and dumped that in, I gave each plant a total of 1 1/4 litres of water lots of run off. So I'm hoping this will help the recovery. And I'll do the same next time it needs water. Hopefully it will start to rise.

So i tested the ph at the lower portion of the pot, it now reads 6. I'll test again tonight 4 hours after lights off. Hopefully it will be the same. Now I know I need I test quite a bit more frequently.
