Have some issues and it seems they may be coming from improper pH levels in the water. So I was messing around doing some experimenting with different waters. Tap water, water that's sat in an open container for 12 hours, Brita filtered water and tap water with 2 tsp. white distilled vinegar. Here's what I found.

1. Tap water is over 7 pH. Like 7.2 at the least.

2. Water that's sat in an open container is about the same.

3. Brita water from one of the two I have, was right about 6.5 maybe a little higher. From the other Brita it was about the same as tap water. So for some reason there's a difference between the two. Maybe the age of the filters themselves?

4. Tap water with 2 teaspoons of white distilled vinegar was about 6.5. On the label it says that this vinegar has been "reduced with water to 5% acidity".

A couple questions. Will feeding with water with vinegar in it do any harm? Will it harm the taste of the end product? Will it harm me to inhale burn byproducts of the plants with vinegar in them? Or is it not an option to use vinegar to adjust the pH down to an acceptable level?

Sorry for all the questions. I need to do something quick to these plants. All leaves are showing unhealthy tendencies!
