pH issues or paranoia?

I think I'm at the start of pH lockout issues -- I haven't been measuring pH then I got a basic pH test that looked to me like pH was between 6-6.5 then when i showed it to someone else (actually 2 people) they thought the color matched the 4-5 range better. I am thinking these should be a deeper green and that even though they don't look bad they are getting ready to have issues and will be stunted... I am transplanting them tonight (burying stems) into foxfarm light warrior and getting a better pH check before watering them in -- but just want to see if others seeing what I am or if I am just paranoid.

Day 4 above soil fyi.

I actually called it. Plants exhibiting stronger ph lockout symptoms now. I got a ph pen and up/down to correct with. I did a normal water earlier but it only fixed the issue in one so going to go ahead and flush with 6.5. Soil is at 7-7.5 in most still. Only one is worrisome looking (exhibiting mg deficiency symptoms). Believe they will all make it if this flush does the job. They've also had some heat/drought stress the last few days.
