I think your over dooing it. Miricle Grow is meant to be simple.

just use plain Tap water with MG. Don't add vinigar. If anything from what I rember of ZANDOrs MG grow Log (you can search it) you actully wanted your water Higher for MG like around 8ph going into your soil.

Ph in the 5's is far too low for MG or any soil pretty much.

Just keep it simple use reg tap water with your nutes. The fact that your Ph is around 7 on the way out is pretty good I always thought. :thumbsup:

I have seen little spots like that on my plants as well. However mine were from thrip Larva.

Good Luck... Don't over doo it.
