1st grow and all was going well, I think I’ve got a ph issue with my BD strain. Growing in soil and using tap water, I noticed my ph was around 7.5-8, I have taken steps to lower to 6.5 but problem persists. Leaves start with brown spots turning brown and curling up.

Your light may be a little close too.
This is what I concluded with water ph growing in organic soil.I've linked it previously. I too am on a 1st run but I had many gardens of veggies so its really not my 1st rodeo
This may be useful info=
I figured out how to ph water to a perfect 6.2 to 7.0 with no chemicals I like a 3 5 gallon bucket rotation
Step 1: fill buckets
Step 2 : leave out side 24 hrs
Step 3: bring 1st bucket in and add 1/8 teaspoon of Dolomite lime it buffers ph to 7 and adds a small dose of cal/mag. Place air stone in bucket let sit for another 24 hrs. ( you could just do this to remove chlorine but I prefer the outside then inside method)
Step 4: fill up a zero water filter container. This brings your ph into the 5s.
Step 5: fill a 1 gallon jug for example with 1/4 zero water + 3/4 Bucket water to have ph fall around 6.2 which is ideal for cannabis.( 6.2 to 7 range)
In organic soil the soil does act as a buffer if your water's ph level is off but the plant won't get nearly as many nutrients as when the ph is dialed in to 6.2 - 6.8 is ideal
