Overnuted due to low ph....now what?

[erockhardass]

I have come to the conclusion that my plants are now overnuted due to a low ph during feeding. Now that I have gotten the ph above 5, the plants are showing signs of overnuting. I am assuming the ph got so low because I used MiracleGro perlite with the Fox Farm Happy Frog soil, and the nutes in the perlite caused my ph to drop. I should be 2 weeks from flowering, but I think the growth has slowed so I might have more time.

My question is....should I flush them with water? My water is 7.5, and with nutes it is about 6.5. I really do not want them all to die, or for the buds to mold or not grow correctly, so I am looking for an answer as to what I should do now. The buds look very healthy, but I fear that they will not soon, as I had two plants farther along and most of the leaves are dead/dying and the buds are now not looking so great.

I have gotten mixed advice about flushing, but I really need to know what to do now because I am at a standstill.

Here are the pics so far that I have posted before. They do look a bit worse now than they did.

If it would be beneficial to upload pics of the buds I can try to do that as well.

Here are some new pics taken today. Do the buds look healthy? They are 6 weeks into flowering. The pic of the one with all of the leaves gone is one of the ones I am really worried about, and the pics of the buds are taken from that plant.

Please please please help me save them.

You should really give them a good flush... Then the next time you water you should give them a low dose of nutes.

 

[erockhardass]

So how exactly should I flush them? They are in 5 gallon pots with close to that amount of dirt in there excluding the roots. How much water should I use? and should I use any nutes at all during the flush?

I flush my five gal pots with 15-20 gallons of water...

 

[erockhardass]

Wow really?? That wont harm them at all? I really dont want to kill them by doing this.

 

[Be Irie]

Now honestly.. Do you think I am going to suggest something that would kill your plants??? Give me a little bit of credit...

Haha ok....also...I use FloraNova Bloom nutrients, 1 tsp per gallon. They also make a product called FloraNova Kleen that supposedly removes nutrients from the soil. Would you recommend using something like that with the flushing? Also, is the FloraNova Bloom 4-8-7 good enough to use when renuting them after the flush? What would you recommend for dosages?
