Let's say my soil PH is 5.6. Should I flush with water that is 7.0 or should I adjust it to 7.8 to bring the PH back up?

Will the affected leaves recover?

As long as your soil itself (The Mix itself) isnt a ph of 5.6 then yes flushing with bring it up. Never adjust higher tho, the 7.8 would be a very unwise move, exspecially from a 5.5 to a 7.8, might as well pour vinegar on them you know, just flush and wait, try to bring her back up to close to 6.8 ish. 5.7 isnt super low, thats what hydro is usually dialed at. I personally keep my soil grow around 6.2 so that gives you an idea, and my soil girls look pretty healthy100_3337.jpg

Get some Dolomite Lime, mix 1 tablespoon per sq. ft. of soil. and do what he says to get your PH up'd. The lime will keep everything balanced to some degree. You want to still keep your water at the set point (never higher then 7.8 like 906breeder says).
Good luck, and keep us posted.

^Yes, listen to those guys. And...No, those leaves are screwed, and won't recover.lol No biggie though, new growth will replace them, as soon as they've recovered.
