Help asap

I wanna make sure I read right, your in soil, and have been feeding @ 5.6 to 6 pH? Those # are for coco... bet your in pot pH has slid some. Soil is a mid 6s pH. PH is like earthquakes, a 6 or a 6.5? Big difference.

Down @6 your locking out Phosphorus, calcium & magnesium. Big building blocks in flower.

Oh no! So how do I fix this issue?

Is it overwatered as well? Should I dry it up and just ph to 6.5?

If you have a pH probe, get a shot glass and a cup, fill the shot glass with soil between the plant and the edge, put it in the cup, add a shot glass full of the water you use, and let sit about 5 min, then test the pH carefully (dont want to hit the meter on perlite)

Once you have a starting point of where the soil is, when you feed, feed a little high, 6.6 or so and recheck after a week or so, idea is to bring it back in slowly. Or, if it's way low, amending will be an option too..
I'm hoping your just on the lower edge.

If you can feel damp sticking your finger in to the first knuckle, your fine, if dry, then go ahead and start. I use the dry weight method, something you pick up with time.

In soil, let it dry before watering again. Get used to the weight difference of watered and needing water by lifting one side of the pot with your thumb and index finger. Soon enough you will know when to water. Soil needs to dry.
