The 5.5 is definitely low, are you having any issues or concerns.

Are the pictures in natural light? leaves are very light green/yellow looking. PH in soil should be somewhere between 6.3-6.8. General consensus seems to be that 6.5 is a sweet spot. I see very yellow leaves down low and progressing upwards?
I am looking at the nitrogen deficiency top left picture.

I would start by verifying your pH meter in a fresh bottle of 7 solution and if it looks good, I would follow up by scratching a little bit of lime in on the plant with 5.3 PH runoff. The 6 an 6.3 personally I would let them ride. I’m also with @Bulldognuts with the yellowing leafs lack of nitrogen. Verify by checking your PPM on runoff. Good luck.

Thanks all for the feedback and suggestions. I did end up just feeding them with ph water last week because the week before I seen a few tips of the leaves getting burned so I was thinking too much Nutrients . I’m thinking lack of Nutrients now as pointed out from the color of the leaves. So I feed them last night with a mix of ff trio and some cal mag. And will keep an eye on it

5.5 is near perfect. Do some research and you’ll see.
