Dieing plant

One of my friends plants wasn't doing so good and he thought it was because the p.h. was too low from the acidic fertilizers he used so he added some high p.h. water (water with baking soda in it) and the leaves are all wilting and getting a darker color. We tried to flush it with water and added some acidity with lemon juice to even things out but it still seems to be getting worse. Anyone with any advice?

Lemon juice? Who told you to do that? Would of made more sense to use sulphur to make it more acidic, yet you say that you're trying to balance out the acidic fertilizer, so why add an acid? BAKING SODA??? I'ld start over.

Umm he used the baking soda which is a base but I think he used way to much (the p.h. of the resulting run off water was about 8-8.5). The plant got all shitty and wilted so he watered it with water with a p.h. of about 4-5 (the lemon juice water) to try to lower it back a bit. I don't see whats wrong with what he did.

ouch, i hope your root system is still intact. With all the torture you've put your plants through i wouldn't be surprised if a good portion was killed off.
