Will this help or hurt a PH issue

[SmokeRings]

OK ive got a PH problem (ph too low). I know for a fact its a ph problem ive seen it before. Anyways, the first day i flushed with 1 gallon of plain water + phUP to get the water at about 8.5ph- the plant is in a 9 quart pot of soil btw. Anyways the next day I flushed with another gallon of water, more phup, and some veg nutes since she was yellowing fast. Anyways I left her for a day after that, then checked on her today. The ph issue is worse than ever. So more flushing is needed, but at the same time shes in week 5, and after 1-2 weeks I need to stop feeding to begin the flush. That means I want to get her some nutes NOW while shes flowering. I was thinking give her the usual bloom feed, but then using phUp to adjust the feed to a ph of 8. Would that help my problem out, or is adding bloom solution and phUP at the same time going to be pointless or cause problems or something? Thanks

p.s im using chem ferts

Why are you hitting them with 8.5 ph'd water ?
What are you using for ph up in that water ?
Are you testing the runoff water's ph ?
what chem ferts are you using and at what strength & ph ?

You say the ph issue looks worse after that flush you gave her, but that may be less the soils ph and more from the ph shock in those big swings they're seeing in those 8.5 flushes. Its hard to determine without pictures or additional info.

I hit them with 8.5 ph to get the soils ph up as fast as possible. Soil is a ph buffer, and I do test the runoff, its about a .2 increase per flush with plain water, and thats obviously going to take a long time. I suspect its a bit above 5, I need it around 6 minimum. I know for a fact the fert responsible was that piece of shit Alaska MorBloom, the only two times I used it I got ph issues. This time I think i barely added like 2 tsp's, and STILL had a ph fuck up. That stuff is going right in the trash.

a little more reading into how to grow cannibis is much needed

Good luck dude

If your ph is 5 or lower, you may want to add a dose of dolomite lime rather than endless flushing. Try 3/4 teaspoon powdered dol. lime per gallon of soil or 1 3/4 tablespoon per cubic foot of soil. Just sprinkle it on and water in. If ph does not improve after 7 to 10 days, repeat. Don't throw the ferts away.

^ Good advice but I think the dolomite lime would take too long. Last time I corrected the ph issue within a week, and today I did just what I said i was gonna do, flowering fets @ ph of 8, today the runoff read 6 so im happy about that its definately going up, and the plant looks better. Ill be keeping an eye on her over the next couple of days but hopefully this ph issue is taken care of. That Alaska MorBloom is bad fucking news, aside from having a high concentration of lead and heavy metals in it, it stinks to fucking high heaven, it literally smells like the foulest piss you could produce, and every single time ive used it it fucked shit up like this. No wonder it was only like 10 bucks for a quart. Thats the last time I cheap out on the nutes.

Lime is for keeping ph in check, not for fixing a ph problem. Flushing works best when you flush with 3X your pot size. If you have a gallon pot then flush it with 3 gallons water. Then as long as you got a meter then you should ph adjust everything you are putting in the pot. Tap water and ferted water.
