Uhhh not sure about that. Damn you're really set on using some coffee grounds lol.

If it was me i'd flush with lots of water at 6.5 until your soil is ph'd proper. Then wait a day or two and start feeding her nutes again. Ph to 6.5 everytime.
you would kill the tiny little things a big 3 week old plant can barely handle a big ph flush change. dont tell him to do that i wish we could take rep. i had to do it to mine that are bigger and they are fing pissed at me. his little babies would die for sure. he has to slowly bring it back sure they wont grow much but they wont die.

What how come? Dont think a ph flush would hurt anything (besides setting it back a couple days) unless that soil was real hot, in which case it would be feeding, no?

and all i said is that's what i would do. Done it before, worked before.

it's up to him to figure out his best course of action based on his soil.

hey ben franklin what was your suggestion again?

Lol. You dont flush in organic! Small consistent changes are key. The soil will fix itself if the microbes within are being feed. If you dont feed them the plant dont eat. Ok fine lime the soil, it takes time to make a change and is only activated with moisture. Organic anything has to fully break down or it will burn. Your soil is hot and needs to be cut with a non nutritional light mix.

I will be the first to say it...... start researching. This is basic stuff guys. Organic 101-

if its nute burn a flush is okay np to the plant. but ph is huge to plants and a swing of 1 or more will shock the hell out of your plant. i had to do an emergency 2.5 ph change old meter was screwed and i didnt know it till i got my new one( buy a good ph meter) i killed the lower 2 set of nodes on 7 plants lower set on 1 plant and 2 didnt give a shit they are not skipping a beet. his little babies would die most likely. here is a guideline never adjust more than .5 ph in 24hr period if you can help it. a change of 1 will stress them allot and more than that will mess them up. ill have to take pictures so all can see how important ph is. im not moving or messing with them right now and i also backed off of food just water for now. anytime you stress you plant just water no nutes.
