I'm betting thats what's happening. I don't see the burnt leaf, it wouldn't evaporate or anything. Did you crumble any off before pic? If not, your plant is saying hey I'm not getting everything I'm wanting something isn't just right. Sometimes some are more particular/sensitive about this than others.
 
damn...so is it about to get worse and worse? I cant afford another ph tester for about a week. Do they have a cheap meter that tests soil and the water? What would you even do to correct it afterwards?
 
check out JM's article and look for nute lock-out and see if you can figure out what it's not getting. Check chart to see at what ph it absorbs that nutrient. and then adjust ph by getting it even lower/ higher during your next watering.
they have a pretty cheap about $20 prong soil/ fert tester at some Wal-marts and I've seen em' at Lowes and Home Depot I believe usually with the garden seed.
I use this outdoors to set my ph and it works well for me.
A cheap pool ph test (in seasonal currently) kit may get ya by but it doesn't have a good full scale so there is a lot of unknown if you add too much up/down.
 
Yea Gearbear, u got that right!

Thanks John...yea I actually have that same tester for the water. So its pretty accurate even after nutes are added? I will make sure to get that soil tester asap. I actually have one by the same comppany but it just measures moisture and ph and has 2 prongs. The moisture meter works great, but it seems the soil part of it always stays at like 7.0.
 
even when you take it outside and shove in the dirt ya get no change?

oh... take small pot with soil in it and add 4 tablespoons of vinegar to a gallon of water... drench the soil in the test pot heavily with it... stick the meter in... should read a low ph... it may work.. you may just have soil at 7.0

which if you do.. would explain the mild ph lockouts starting... it may not be defficiency but rather just a lockout.

that tester is just fine as well... I just figured if you had o get one it might as well do it all! :)

Ok...so I got the meter situation all settled and was finally able to test my soil's PH! I thought that things were starting to look a little better for about a day...but began to gradually get worse. Well I watered with just pure 6.5 ph'ed water today and the tested the soil's ph 5 minutes later: 6.5! About an hour afterwards was right back up around 7.1 ish! Im noticing that the tips op many of the leaves are now beginning to turn yellow and i see like a orangish rusty looking color on one of the leaves near the tip. Soo...would first things first be: Getting something to bring the ph down in the soil? Do I just use ph down and drop my watering ph to like 5.5 or something like that?
How do you get the ph to stay down in the soil after I figure out how to bring it down? Do I have to wait until the plant dries out to bring the soil ph down some?
