7.5 is pretty high, leaf curling is also associated with a lack of nutrients, or maybe it is being burned or dried out by the light being too close

Lower the ph for a start. Back your light off if you think it might be to close. Are you giving them nutes? if you are back off if your not give them some nutes low does to start with. Mess around a little bit you figure it out soon im sure.

youre getting lock out due to your high ph, once your ph is that high, the plant wont get any nutes... lower your ph, leave your light alone you will be fine in 1 - 2- weeks i promise... PH should be 5.5 - 6.0

7.5 ph is high. but definately dont lower your ph to 5.5 - 6.0 unless you are using hydro! if you are in soil 6.2 - 6.8 is preferable. Also i would flush with a good ph if soil 6.5 flush until soil drainage reads close to the 6.5 level. and if hydro do a rez change and use 5.5 ph for the water in the rez. after ph is right things will look better if you were to treat any deficency now you would just make things worse.
