Chain having trouble going from 5th up to 4th cog

Hi,
It seems that the RD is having trouble going up from 5th cog to 4th cog. It clicks a few times and I would have to nudge the lever up a bit before it finally "climbs" to the larger 4th cog. No problems with the other cogs up or down. I think it has to do with the RD's cable. Is it a matter of tightening or loosening the barrel adjuster?

thanks.

It probably is a low tension problem.
