plants waisting away, ph is at 8, i need some help yall

ok well ive been out of town for a week, i just got back and my leaves are curled under and completely yellow and flaking. i trimmed the ones that were about to fall themselves, the ph is at 8 and i have ph up and ph down. i just added a little ph down and am waiting to test. i dont have any nutes going, because i was flushing the hydro system while i was away, i added 10 ml of clearex to help clean out some of the build up. i just need help getting the ph low enough to add nutes. and need info on adding nutes after the flush. i have several botanicare products, super thrive, and open sesemi. can anyone help me out?:wall:

With hydro you don't usually have the same lingering Ph that you'd have in a soil mix. You just adjust the Ph of your solution and then the system is full of correct-Ph liquid, depending on your setup. Your Ph down and some Ph testing should take care of it. Stay away from the Superthrive until the plant is healthier.
