Here is a problem, you need your ph between 6.3-6.8, 6.5 is the happy spot.
I would say you have nutrient lock out. Are you adding and calmag? I’m not sure but I think you need to water to run off every watering. Let me tag a few people who might be able to help you more.

Thanks for the tag Flitme 
I know that soil ph is supposed to stay between 6-7 so yes it’s low but since I haven’t checked my soil ph in over two years or tried to adjust it I’m not going to be of much help fixing the issue. There are these products used in organic growing to adjust soil ph, one is used to raise ph the other to lower it
