Recovering tips for pH problem affected plants?

[newbie2006]

I have some FMS Skunk Specials going, and they went just fine until few weeks ago their pH was around 5 (and lower for some days) for 2 weeks.

They are 4 weeks into flowering, and they were vegged for 4-5 weeks before put into 12/12 photoperiod.

They got the usual symptoms what you get from pH problems. Lots of yellowed out leaves and something that looks like mangase overdose.

However, i was wondering what should i do now when the plants only have the buds and their leaves, not any big "sun leaves"?

Is my yield dream of 600-700g unachievable (2x 600w's, 2 sq meters, 23 plants)?

There's not a person on this planet that could guess how much you're going to yield newbie2006. 600-700g with that set-up is achievable, but there are so many factors to calculate into the grow and you've told us almost nothing about it.

If you vegged for 4-5 weeks (seeds or clones?) the plants must be rather big. 11-12 big plants per 600w/sqm is too crowded in my book. Depending on strain, I would do 5-8 medium sized plants per light. So with the fan leaves gone, you've got one problem less (they often block the light for the bud sites).
You should simply concentrate on keeping the plants healthy until the chop. No shock treatments, no overfert, no stress of any sorts. Why was your ph that low? Are you doing hydro?

I think that 600-700 g is truly obtainable with that light amount, but it depends of so many other things too! Just like Rosy sayed, nobody cannot predict it for sure, so concentrate your energy to things that you can affect. Take care of your gardens air circulation, light, watering and proper ph of soil and you gonna be one step further of that 600-700 g!

You asked some recovering tips for your ph-problem! Here´s a good one:

FLUSH your soil with ph-stabilized water and water/fert your plants with ph-stabilized water the rest of the flowering time. This would absolutely help slightly, but i still think that you got your ph-problems in the worst possible time -> in the start of flowering =

But, nothing bad without nothing good:

Next time you understand the importance of right ph, and you probably gonna check it way more often than this time.

Anyways, good luck for the last month of the flowering and i do hope you gonna get that, hmm... Lets say 600 g of this grow

Take care and remember:

Keep It Green & Growin But Don´t Forget The Smokin!
Peace Out Growers!

Rosy Cheeks: Hydro of course, one dripfeed and one NFT. The plants aren't that big, about 50-70cm in height. They were around 30cm when put into flower so just maybe merely doubled in height.. For a Skunk strain, i find that odd. They are from seed.

pH was that low coz i put too much ph Down (in a rush, leaving to a vacation) and didn't have time to check the pH once i added it.
