PH Lockout question

[Lucorpan]

Ugh...unfortunately my plants suffered some PH lockout (indoor soil grow), I now have the PH adjusted to 6.5. The lockout has resulted in stunted growth and yellowing of the lower leaves.
Can anyone tell me what kind of timeline I am looking at to be able to see positive results from fixing the PH issues?

Could be anything upto around 2 weeks before you see any positive change.... but usually with in a week you should see improvements!

pH lockout is just one symptom of the problem. Have you identified what has caused the lockout, what caused the pH to rise all fall. If you haven't then the problem still exists. Some pictures might help people as well as determining the extent of the damage visually will assist people in determining how long it may take to recover.

My soil PH was high to begin with as was my water. I have reduced the PH in the water, hence reducing it in the soil samples as well. ( I switched to distilled water only and treat the water now).

Got any idea of what the run off ph is?

That will give you a pretty good idea of what is going on.

Once you stabilize the ph, the plants respond fairly quickly.
