Purge your res and fill with clean water ph it at your normal running ph and flush for a couple of times.

It shouldnt be too much of a problem if you correct straight away.

You need to make sure your medium isnt holding any of that 8.5 water. in it so flush it with 3 times the volume of your pot with your normal ph range plain water.

okay i drowned them with lower ph water (6.0) they are soaked, now it's three 18 hour cycles before I water again. Hope this turns out ok. What a good way to tell if the ph is too high? what signs will the plants show?

too many to mention.

lots of problems can be caused by a ph issue. i wouldnt worry too much unless you have a problem.

its like asking someone to tell you when you are going to get the flu.

dont worry about the problems caused by ph you only hit them with one dose of ph 8.5 if you were running this for a week or more then yeah worry a little but not just one watering. you'll be fine just relax and go have a doobie!!!
