Hey guys,
I am growing a northern lights auto in a DWC bucket. However for the past 2 days, i was feeding my plants a ph of 1.5-2. My pH meter was broken and i was unaware of that and it was giving me a low pH as I was adding more and more pH down.
My plant is 6 weeks old and has been in flowering for 2 weeks.
I have fixed the pH and changed the water. Do you guys think it will recover? Any advice on what i can do?

all that damage won't get better. just try to keep pH in range and hope for the best.

nope. they'll fall off when they are of no use to the plant.

Ph of 1.5-2!??! You're telling me you've had them sitting in solution as acidic as gastric acid?

I am not even sure of that value since my pH meter was pretty fucked up. Solutions and advice would be preferred tho

Get some PH drops, and don't trust the meter yet.

Simplest solution is like a @Drop That Sound said, simple Ph drops, back in the pet fish area of any large box store, even more simple use Ph test strips. If you're using the Amazon cheapie, calibrate it before every rez swap. If you can afford the expensive ones, good for you, they're normally more accurate for longer without calibration, when properly stored.

Laughing @ myself, that's not even the advice you're looking for, was it?
Yes, she'll recover as long as you stop frying her roots. I'd feed lightly for the next week or two to allow her to recover, then into flower!
