pH was at 8...help!

Just started my first legal grow and currently i have 8 clones which have been planed and are growing away however due to shitty soil and lack of a tester my pH made it up over 8 and the plants are now yellowing with burnt tips. I adjusted with pH down and flushed the plants with lower pH water and transplanted them from the shitty stuff into fox farm ocean forest and 3 gallon pots with 1.5" hydroton in the bottom.

What else can/should i do in order to rectify the situation and assuming i get the ph down to around 6, how long will it be to recover? pH is down to 6.9 currently....still much higher than i would like. Temp is 78-81F under cfls

Took a pic with my phone- sorry for the quality...

that sounds good not alot more u can do 6.3 i keep it at and give it 1-2 weeks or a lil less and itll be back to normal

You did the right thing, nothing to do now but let them recover.

you're lucky you caught it so early my ph went to 8 for an entire week and killed the plants, luckily yours don't look so bad, hopefully they'll bounce back. good luck!

recovery time ! it might take about a week for them to recover . CHECK YOU PH !

should i continue to water with acidic water until im down to 6-6.4 or let them dry out and then re-water? I am afraid of shocking them but the pH is still above what i want it.
