Too much acid!

Yes. My soil has dropped too low in PH over the last week.
It's was showing Cal. deficiency, i checked PH now and it's under 6.
i'm about a month into flowering.
I have autoflowers, they have about 3-4 weeks still to go.
any way i can rapidly increase my PH?
 
Meh, I would just water next round with slightly elevated Ph water.... but thats me, I dont mess with dirt no more, I love me some 5.8 Ph, lol
 
Your tap water should be a higher PH no? If so just add that. I know mine is about 6.8.

Failing that, potassium silicate. I use Potsil. Use is sparingly though, it's strong stuff.

So, Should i just flush out my plants ? i don't know if i can get anything like that around my place ...
i have no special stuff to raise or lower ph except vinegar i guess... wich is not what i need :P
i do have like, grass fertilizer that has Cal + magnesium in it. but i don't want to overfeed?should i flush completely and maybe add some Cal + magnesium ?

If you're worried that you've added too much of something then yeah, i can't see how tapwater is going to do any harm.

I'm no expert in soil, but as a general rule, when you are using both PH up, and PH down, you are doing something wrong. Best just to start again from scratch.

I run DWC and if i get a low PH, i don't add PH up, i just change the res and start again. Battling back and forth wit these chemicals never ends well.

Just my 2p.

i haven't used anything like that.
It's just cheap seedling dirt with very little nutrients and i give low doses of nutrients. (plagron grow / bloom)
that's it.
and in a week time my ph dropped from like 6.4 to now around 5.5
