Your plant will still reach it's full potential . You can simply just feed with PH corrected water for the time being until your plant returns to it's normal PH . This will prevent any build ups that are happening making your PH all outta wack. To me your plant seems in good shape and will do well . I hope this information is helpful to you on your journey . Happy Growing!

I honestly think your plants look great if you have a sink with a sprayer you can always flush your soil in it’s pot and almost the ammend your soil once you have done that to what it is exactly that your looking for. 🌱🤙🏼🔥

Man soil is one of the most forgiving mediums around. The girls don't look bad at all and no reason that you should not be able to get a good harvest off of them in the end. I don't see any bite burn or deficiency so I would say keep em..my Moby Dick had a twin when it popped out she grew little for weeks then boom she took off and is a good size now and going into pre flower so never give up on them .

hi, how did you test your Soil=?, normally you dont have ph problems in soil, because it buffers the PH. plants look good and i see no bigger problem. Sweet seeds tend to stay small until week 3 and then suddenly they are shooting, at first you see abigger stem from above to the ground and the next 2 days they grow like crazy.

just keep ph on the level for now on and you might want to air-rated your water for 24 hours then add nutriment and give them a good strength

My soil was also quite alkaline, 7-8ph but I just ran with it. PhD my water to 6ph and just fed with that for a while. It does sort it out, I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure you get run off when you water.

Hey I wouldnt give up on it. The plant looks healthy to me. Curious how you tested your soil ph? Soil usually buffers ph pretty well. Sometimes they take a few weeks to hit their growth spurt so she might surprise you! If she still looks this way at the end of 3 weeks I would consider other options at that point. Good luck.
