Well, you are doing it the hard way but there is an advantage. You should be able to read the plants with a little more experience.
I agree, looking good so far, just keep an eye on them. Remember, it's not a big deal if you are low on nutes, but too many and you burn them which is a problem, it will stunt the plants and set you behind.
Tread carefully when you don't really know what's in there, but I know you can grow on about half the nutes some people will tell you to use. And don't believe the people at the hydro store, they make lots of money on nutes so they want you to use a lot of them. Most are a waste of money.

Too low for all the nutes to get absorbed. 5.5 is the minimum to avoid defiencies. See what it's like after a day. Sometimes it will just bounce low and then come back to the right range. Might want to spritz it with a little water. The raised leave parts and downward tip on the end of the leaf tells me it's thirsty. What's the humidity like in the room?

my humidity is 70% high and 43% low , got my ac on and sometime i refill the water in the humidity a lil late because i been busy .. my birthday is in 3 days so having a lil family get together .. and i just mist them .. can i drain one gallon and ph it and put it back in the tank ?
First, Happy Birthday! Well the humidity is fine at anything over 50% so that's not an issue. If it dips below that's not a problem either. Misting is good.
I'd try that and see if it brings your ph up. Do you have ph up? If so you can get the drained gallon to about 7 and see if that raises the ph in the tank. If it raises it a little but not enough you can do it again.

Downward tips means the plant is a little overfilled with nutes. The spot say it's taken the next step. Solution is simple. Drain a gallon of nuted water and replace it with plain ph's water only. Plant version of indigestion.

They look GREAT! 
They will get 2 to 2-1/2 times bigger in flower, so if they haven't reached maturity yet, let them go if you have the room. You'll know they are mature when the nodes no longer alternate in pairs. See the index in Roseman's Tutorial, I believe he has pics.

Well TaDa! The plant responded well to the lower nutes I see! Normally I'd tell you to wait for alternating leaves but I have no idea what is going on under that leaf mass! Pehaps you might want to move the light up to get a little intentional stretching. Also looks like a good candidate for topping.
