Aside from organic mixes like Gaia green all purpose 4-4-4 or power bloom 2-8-4 or something like them bat guano 0-9-0 0-12-0 or happy frog organic culture 1-12-0 are some products available. If your in the states down to earth is like the Gaia green products. There are more ways as well that I’m sure someone will chime in with.

The acetic acid of vinegar dissolves the cell membranes resulting in desiccation of tissues and death of the plant.

Get some proper ph controls....

Have no idea what's wrong, but a way to find out is to start by fixing the obvious, then see what you got.

@TheBioMaster is saying, I think, that vinegar is not a proper additive for pH control..

The vinegar. Those leaves won’t come back but new growth should be ok since you stopped Using the vinegar.

Interesting. I read that apple cider vinegar is ok for phing except it tends to rise. If it’s not ok that’s good to know as I have been using it as well. Do you guys have a organic ph down product that you recommend ? Or would plain old citric acid work as well ? I may have added to my problem using it as well

I would get a blue lab ph pen. Learn how to do a soil slurry test. Use bone meal for ph down or calcium carbonate for ph up. You need a good compost tea or lactic acid bacteria to digest whatever you add. Without microbes you will not see any improvements.

I could be wrong about the dry bone meal. I use liquid organic nutrients and the bone meal drops my ph when i mix everything together.

the soil slurry will tell you everything you need to know about your plants.

Dry Cottonseed meal will lower soil ph.
You could also use carbonated water to drop your ph. I start with 3 Liters of tap water, add nutrients, adjust to 6.4, then add carbonated water and calcium carbonate until i get to 4 liters.

what is the ph of your tap water?

I just harvested this today. My tap water is 7.8. Water with high calcium content is great. If you want be organic, you gotta get serious about your ph for your water and soil.

When i mix all my nutrients, the ph drops to about 5.8. Then i use liquid limestone to raise it to 6.4. Then i add carbonated water and it drops again, then i raise it again. I try to get it between 6.3 and 6.8.

The reason i add the carbonated water is because it raises the alkalinity of the water and that helps to keep the soil ph between 6.3 and 6.8.
