4 girls still on 12/12 just about to switch lighting and i added sum ph down since they were in the 7+ range. Now they are all shriveled up with lite yellow hash marks al over the leaves, the fan leaves are like dried out almost. I flushed them twice and then gave them a dose of ph up but after 24hrs it didnt help much. They are still in 6" pots should i transplant them into different soil like FFOF? I think this is what ya all call nute lock.
Any ideas please? what to do? Iv flushed them 2times with water. They are blueberry & blaze and they were so frign healthy lookn till now. Please help Thanks

I think i added to much ph down so they were in the 4-5.0 range last i checked, iv ben flushing them with ph up now they are back in the 6-7 range. I havnt experienced this before so i dont know what to expect on recovery time??? or are they finished for good?

Nah don't say that, marijuana is amazingly resilient.

Do you have any pics? A telltale sign of nute lock is purple stems and veins in the leaves. I wouldn't transplant right now just because of the amazing amount of stress they're already going through. You said you flushed them and the pH is back to 6-7. So what I would do is not touch them for a couple days, just let them be. No nutes, just water until you see them come back a little bit.

Good luck, and just out of curiosity, how long were they at pH 4-5?

They were at a ph 4-5 for 24hrs.
Yes use your ph adjustment sparingly. I dont know what happen but after watching semorebuds video i know i put more than a few drops in my 1gaL bucket it was more like 4tblsp....I do have the paper testers but i just messed up somewhere.
Thanks much I will do nothing but water for a while and let you all know. Ill wait on the transplanting also.
No purple or veins showing on the leaves..

First grow so Im just not sure on how and if a plant can recover from that low ph levels

if you dropped 3 points in a day there dead..if they survive it'll be garbage
Ya got a little eco system going on between your plant and soil..you should never try to adjust more than 1/4 to a 1/2 point an any 24 hour period
