Repotting during flowering? PH value out of control

[strain_hunter]

The pH value of my soil has risen to 8.5 and I put far too much vinegar in the water due to incorrect information.
Yesterday I hoped that I could get it under control by rinsing and that the plants would survive.
12 hours later, the plants don't look good.

After the vinegar treatment, the pH value dropped to 5.
After 10 minutes of rinsing and 5 measurements, the value is now between 5.5 and 7.

I'd like to replace the soil and repot them, possibly cutting back the root ball slightly, but it's already flowering day 66.

Any tips?

This is my first season in over a decade and I have a lot to learn again.

12 hours after flushing.

Holy fk that's bad...ummm

Get them in high humidty environ asap...those leaves are telling me they aren't getting water. The leaves need help in transpiration until we get the root zone fixed...think like they are fresh cut clones, 90% RH asap

Ur media is toast, transplant good idea but you don't want a single root distrubed when you do it...flowering, and fkn with rootzone in flowering is messing with hormone production/ratios. I'd plastic bag the fuckers with a water misted interior 30g garbage bag for a few hrs...don't worry about light intesity for the moment, this is ER treatment...if and when they perk up a bit with turgidity, transplant.

It wont grow new roots without water and osmotic pressure in leaves/cells...we need those to perk up before transplant.

Don't use vinegar,it doesn't have the staying power. PH fluctuations hurt more than if the PH is off,they don't get a chance to get used to it. JMO

You might want to consider taking cutting those out. If there is the slightest tendency to intersex traits in that genetics, you surely have triggered them. I don't want to paint devils on the wall, but I see you have some really nice flower in there. Would be a shame to have some nanas exploding in there.

Ya vinegar is used as an old school organic weed killer. Yup it works. Buy some PH up and down for next time

Is that the Ethipian from ACE? Since its P3 from ACE I would guess its kinda stable, but anyways, thats a very harsh treatment and almost all plants would be very mad with u

I will agree with the transplant into a pot as big as you can, I wouldn't prune the roots just in case. And as said I would check them daily for male flowers too. Best of luck mate,sorry to read you're having problems.

Flush as much as you can with plain water and add some organic fertilizer and micro nutrients in low doses.
A transplant may mess up their flowering cycle or sexual stability.
Best of luck

Thanks for your advice.

I repottet one after flushing and the other is still in its original pot but had not that much problems.
The other plants will be harvested in the next days. Tried a bud today and the weed is nice.
