need some aid in getting my ak's healthy

HFrom seed 4weeks into flowering 24-28 inches tall In about a gallon and a half of mgmc(had no choice at the time) and earth juice mychorizae I water whenever theyre dry, and I use culligan water which is just ro'd the Ph is unknown at the moment just got test strips today Using earthjuice 1/2 tbsp grow, 2tbsp bloom every watering, 1tsp microblast everyother, .1 gram seawead extract diluted in 1 liter as a foliar spray every week using 400 w hps plants are about 8 inches from cool tube Temps stay 80 to 84 pretty much all the time. I realize the root of my problems are being caused by my neglect on Ph, and I recently got ridbof fungus gnats and now have spider mites but the reason I'm posting this is for some experienced help towards the path of health. My first question is since I just got the test strips today, and I watered yesterday. Should I wait till they need water to test Ph, or shall I leech the soil to correct this possible imbalance. My second question is I have a horticulture spray oil.that lists tomatoes, I plan on spraying all 4 of them every surface to control the spider mites, it says its 2 percent petroleum oil and 98 percent other ingredients which i imagine is water cause ive used this stuff on vegging plants and it looks like only water. Is it safe to use on buds though, it is just a smother.
Piece to all especially to u that intend to help
Unable to upload photos at the moment they will be up within the next hour. But please feel free express ur opinion until then.

Got the brand name of that horticultural spray?
Soil likes 6.5~ and assuming you're running regular tap into the RO its probably around 7-8. I wouldn't bother with testing runoff with individual strips that sounds like a nightmare. I would would just mix up the first feeding @ 5.5 or 6 and then consistently feed at 6.5~ from then on out. It will be straightened out after a couple feedings.

spider mites will just get worse neem oil can control, and sometimes get rid of spider mites its also 100% safe to spray your plants with.
-------------------- DO NOT USE mushmagic.com- THEY LIE AND SELL DRUGS TO CHILDREN -------------------------------------------------- Back the tape up. I need it again! Let it roll! Just as high as the fucker can go! And when it comes to that fantastic note where the rabbit bites its own head off, I want you to THROW THAT FUCKING RADIO INTO THE TUB WITH ME! Not me. It would blast you through the wall stone dead in ten seconds and they'd make me explain.

Water was mostly about 6.5 - 6.8 before buffering, but I did use mostly tap during veg, I leeched each one with Ph of 6, and sprinkled some humus and manure over the top, mostly just for the humates. I read about mgmc having time release nitrogen for the next growing season and how beneficial microbes will break these down and during flowering it causes problems, and I have added mychorizae. So I am no longer going to add any grow just bloom. I know im slacking on the photos but I'm gonna be working all day today, and Monday we leave to see tool, so I will have to tomorrow for sure.
Most are yellowing as if nitrogen d, but one has purple almost like a tiger stripe looked cool, but now the rest of the leave is yellowing so not so much. there are also purple/black spots along some of the veins on some. Starts on older / larger fan leaves. One plant, all the little ridges on the upper leaves are kind pointing up not like a mag Def though.

There ak48 nirvanas but ya I added some epsom, cut back on grow, more bloom and a Tad microblast, off to tool now hopefully when I get back They'll be cool, and I know of a Guy, same strain, says he harvests month and a half everytime. also the one plant is becoming slightly more purple, one question, does this mean this plant has a purple pheno or does all of them have a purple pheno

I honestly couldn't tell u if there better but buds look and smell delicious, my question is that I was supposed to put more plants into flowering the 24th, should I hold off till these ones are done just incase its a disease or just go ahead and throw the new ones in
