Overwatered/high ph fix?

Ok so i did a big boo boo, just starting 3rd week of flower i add some palm tree ash as a top dress, turns out i must of either overwatered/put too much top dress on or both and seems to result in a very funky smell like burning batteries inside the room. Most the fan leaves have drooped although where the buds have started still looks a nice green. When i added the top dress i only watered no nutes
Is there anyway i can fix this or do i have to chop and start again? I didnt expect palm tree ash to chuck the ph out so far.

No one able to offer any advice??

Im guessing my crop is ready for the bin then? Nearly all fan leaves have drooped and died off and bud sites havent grown in 4 days on d28 of flower now and it looks to be in the beggining of week 2 still.

Your question is confusing. I don’t think many growers do this ... so it’s hard to help especially no pictures.

So we should assume you’re growing in soil? We have no idea what top dress you used or the NPK of it.

We have no idea what it looks like (pics)
There’s guys on here that can look at the leaves and can tell the problem. How can they do that for you?

If you want help you have to put in a little work.

Soil used bat special
Added extra bat guamo from start and progress was fabtastic up until i made a big mistake...
Top dressed with what i now know to be far too much palm shade ash and decided to flush it down with plain water which i imagine increased the ph of the soil up towards 10.

I have done one soak with rhizotonic and biowetter. I am on waiting for it to dry out but looks to not take up the water no more.

I am just wondering if there is any point wasting further time on these nuked babies or if im better of just chopping and starting another run with palm shade ash mixed in the soil from the start?

Or is there any way to salvage them? Pretty sure i have finished them off though just wanted a second opinion before i chop them.

What is palm shade ash?? Im assuming it's the ash of burnt palms and is used to raise ph??

Sorry, maybe this is a dumb question

Regardless of my questions above, I'd flush flush flush and stick 1-2 dehumidifiers in there. My 5 quart dehumidifier can usually pull most the water out within 24hrs running 24/7

Sorry yes palm tree ash, apparently a very good pk fertiliser if used correctly, which i didnt do!
I bought it from amazon and they sent me a Spanish version. My translation of its use obviously leaves a lot to be desired and i think i ended up putting 3x as much in and washing it down with water instead of adding rhizotonic and biowetter resulted in the ph going well out and the plants unable to soak up the water/nutrients.

Yeah i am going to put a dehumidfyer in now see if i can dry it as lets face it, i cant make them any worse!

Yeah i was expecting that myself just thought ad get a second opinion and if drying them out doesnt save them looks like it will be start over on monday.

What i did was basically the same as dropping a nuclear bomb into my soil my own laziness of not checking the english top dressing instructions online. Didnt expect an organic additive to be so powerful, although i got the ratio completely wrong.

Hopefully it can give a few members a decent laugh during this horrid time.

Worst thing is before me doing that they were looking like some of the best girls i have had in a long time, feels the same as being heartbroken hahaha
