These girls are moslty Sativa Nirvana's Papaya, about 1 week into flowering, outside getting 7 hrs of direct sun. I have them in a Half cut of 55gal drum filled with top soil and peat moss. The issue was a high Ph of 8, So i mixed ounce of vinegar to a gallon of water and poured it all, dropped the ph to 6.8 and for 3 days the girls was doing fine, then today one of the girls (on the Right) started to turn brown the fans leaves. I checked later on the day and istead of a mushy brown it is turn crisp and also the ph has risen to 7. It has only affeted the one plant and not the others and just the fan leaves the stem is still firm and not browning.. the soil is still really moist. Any ideas of why the leaves are doing this and how to fix it. Any input is helpful

Are you sure you ph meter is calibrated correctly. Peat moss is super acidic so something doesn't sound right IMO.

Your plants still look decent.
IMO- I would just add some lime to the soil, skip the flush.

Good Luck on Your Grow.

I poured some distilled water and chopped up any infected leaves and stems. Now she perked up and no more leaves are turning brown. ph is at 7.

About Half of the world is about freezing temps in these recent days so maybe temps are your problem. Just my experience with cold whether. Im only saying it might be the problem..

half the world does not experience 85F and 60%humidity in Novem28 outdoors, but these girls do. i pretty much assume it was a mistake in dropping the ph to rapidly shocking the girls. I have poured a gallon of distilled water, prune any really heavily infected shoots and leave and now she perk right back up
