Everything here is fucked up. Mainly pH. Please help.

Ok everyone. So my dumbass decided to go buy promix peat moss. I used it for the clones I bought without soaking or washing it 1st. Complete retard move I know. Growth was amazing 1st 2 weeks then the 3.0 pH of the peat moss (flushed plants 3 times already) runoff was 3.0 everytime. Got it to 4.5 pH runoff highest. Then the problems started and has been a battle for over a month. Some plants are in peat and perlite but growth of all plants is just pathetic and terrible. 2 nights ago I added a shitload of baking soda and that only made things worse. Soil pH is now 7-8 for the plants. Even if i flush with acidic water the pH stays the same, or even raises! Wtf do I do people? Flush all the plants again in a last effort b4 they all die? Foliar feed so they font die today? Bought coco coir perlite mix from Home Depot but hear peat moss is better. Please help me I know I'm an idiot. Thank you all so much and please excuse the language! Just so frustrated with myself for these idiotic choices resulting in horrible plant consequences.

Yeah, sounds like you got yourself into a bit of a mess. Peat retains a lot of water which makes it not a great medium for cannabis. I believe that Coco is the best medium and if you want to start growing in Coco, I will recommend that you read my guide (Link in signature).

I am honestly not really sure what I can recommend for the current plants. pH and drainage issues are likely to remain a problem and may be too late to effectively transplant to better media.
