    Yep. You are getting ready to kill a whole lot of plants. Sulfur will not remove the calcium. It might bind it back up in salt form, but once the environment provides itself, it will be right back to it.

    Unfortunately, you are going to need to chelate that whole field and then amend it back with something that blueberries can handle.

    Citric acid is the most common chelator. It is going to break up those nutrients and flush them out of the soil with a few rains.

    You may need to treat the field several times, and let it wash out before you can plant.

    There is a chance that they will survive and do poorly for the first few years, but many will likely die.

    This can depend on many factors. The first is what cultivar that you are growing. Some just naturally produce hard, acidic berries. The next solution will be that they need more sulfur. This can be in the form of iron sulfate, or wettable sulfur. Blueberry fertilizer usually consist of ammonium sulfate, which will give some, but few cultivars will require more than that.

    They appear to have been overwatered. It looks like they are in a container, within a container. This will not allow to drainage, and therefore not allow proper evaporation.

    You will have to allow them dry out fully between waterings. A moisture meter can help if you don't have a way to lift the containers to check the differences in wet and dry weight.

    a teaspoon of WETTABLE SULFUR and a HANDFUL of DOLOMITIC LIME per container will help, or a fungicide such as one at this link: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm

    You will also want to fertilize them with an appropriate fertilizer for blueberries once they recover. They are sensitive to nitrates, so ammonium sulfate is more appropriate. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/blueberries/blueberry-fertilizer.htm

    I have previously asked whether blueberry plants have trichoma (small white hairs) and the answer is not, because these two plants have trichoma (small white hairs)

    With just one set of main leaves on these seedlings; identification is difficult. Give them both a bit more time and leaves.

    Growing Plants in Coco Coir ... you may may find that coir does not work as well for acid-loving plants, such as azaleas and blueberries. Coir can also be far more user-friendly than peat moss or rockwool.
    Coco-peat fiber facilitate excellent lateral water distribution for the benefit of berry roots.
    Rockwool is a volcanic rock heated to extreme temperatures to fluff it out and it has been used in hydroponic systems for many years and is extremely popular with some growers as they feel it is the best media, but has many drawbacks; Not environmentally friendly and hard to dispose of.
    Dust and fiber are a health risk.
    pH is naturally high which requires adjustment by the grower.
