Flush with pH'd water and top dress with compost or use some humic acid (bio Bizz Root Juice and Top Max have a lot of humic and fulvic acids). The humic acid helps to correct the pH and with compost there is some food to replace what you flushed out.

If you ever talk with a grower who says "I've never had a lockout" - keep on walking because that person is a liar! LOL! Lockouts require flushing to fix... and a flush is when you run 3x the pots volume of pH'd water through it - so if you're growing in a 3 gallon pot, you'd want to run 9 gallons of water through it. Into that last gallon, put your nutes but at 1/2 strength... BUT before you do that, figure out how and why the lockout occurred.. was it because nitrogen levels became excessive? Then you're going to want to cut the nitrogen by MORE than 1/2 when you put the nutes in at the end of your flush and probably keep them at that level going forward. Was it because the pH was off? Then you have to make sure you ALWAYS check the pH of what you're giving your ladies whether it's plain water or water and nutes... Once you've done a flush, you need to (obviously) let her dry out completely before giving anything more.... but that's it in a nutshell... I pity the folks growing in 25gallon pots outside, let me tell you!! LOL! Good luck...

I get lockout every other grow or so. I usually just flush the plant with a gallon or 2 of ph water and after the first gallon test your runoff to make sure your ph is right. It's fixed my issue every time I've had it. Hope this helps you out. 🙏
