You need to order a pH kit to test what the pH is. Adjust it with lemon juice or baking soda. Baking soda will raise the pH and lemon juice will lower it.
Here's a site you can order any and all the nutrients you need. As well as pH testing kits. But I would recommend getting an electronic meter. You can also get real pH up and down through here as well.
I thought your not suppose to use baking soda sine it can cause a harmful concentration of Sodium in your growth solution.

21c isn't too cold its only when its below 15c will you see growth almost stop.
 no dude. 15C is plenty warm still, if growth just stopped at 15C then nobody would EVER yield jack from their outdoor plots.
True, its probably more like 10C where growth stops...
And Sure outdoor temps can reach 15C during the night...but later in the grow season...

I've used baking soda a ton. No problems whatsoever. Since your supposed to flush a couple of times anyways it doesn't hurt. And that's to raise your pH.
I'd prefer lemon juice.

It's probably more like 0C where growth stops. People grow massive cannabis bushes in Canada, if growth stopped at 10C nobody would ever have weed up there.

cal mag is a product from a company called botanicare its basically calcium and magnesium, don't put food products in you water get ph down or ph up they are made for plants they come from General Hydroponics and they have an organic cal mag also but i prefer the botanicare product unless I'm going all organic. Also I think the 21c is about 70f that is a perfect temp.

I would assume that its only grown in southern Canada which probably gets warmer than 15C from spring-summer...but I don't live there so ill take your word that they grow in colder temperatures.

Putting vinegar or baking soda to adjust pH does not hurt anything. If it's all you have to work with it will be just fine.

I've grown a few plants in my time outdoors and under the lights since 1985. I bought a bottle of Cal-Mag about 10 years ago cause everybody seemed to love the stuff. Used it one crop didn't make a bit of difference and have never found the need to open the bottle again. Should the soil or hydro nutrient have no shortage of calcium or magnesium adding extra does nothing. Just about every nutrient on the planet sold has more then enough esp the newer formulas that are out nowadays.
In other words Cal Mag is a great product to fix problems but if your adding it to your existing grow program and it's making things grow better or faster then there is a problem with the program to begin with.

Should I repot them or they can make it whit little damage ?!
you didnt know it was in there when you bought it? I would change it before they get any bigger. I had to change my soil once and they did fine but I used water and cleaned all the roots off

Repotting does not double the damage. I transplant all the time. Now If your rinsing all the roots off then yes it can stunt growth for a short period of time, but it's not a big deal.
