That ph is high and Promix is not soil. Promix should be at 5.9-6.2 , its peat, perlite and lime. Not a drop of soil. Have you calibrated your ph meter?

I grew tomatoes in pro mix and some in happy frog. The happy frog plants were awesome. The pro mix not so much. Ph for your plants needs to be around 6-6.2 your problem is most likely nutrients lock out. I no longer grow in soil because for me hydro is much easier. Good luck

You’ll need a place to flush the media and reset ph. You’ll need to slowly pour 20-30 gals of ph’d water through them to bring ppms down and reset ph.

Yep, then let em dry out. After they dry and are ready to feed again you can start with the proper mix and PH. Good read for you in the link below.
Super fixable, would consider swapping out the promix next out door grow. I used it indoors in a tent and it was good, every time I planted anything outside with it, it was more difficult to manage.

Im currently having good luck outdoors with pro mix. I mistakenly bought the their general purpose potting soil so it was pre-ammended some. Its been 12 weeks since getting transplanted into this 15 gal container so now i feed 1/2 strength jacks every other water
Thank you guys
Should i go with half nutrients and build it back up to full? I know flushing them stresses them out first time ive had to do it.
