AN UPDATE: Plant is doing good. I tested my water with my new ph meter today, it's 8.4. The pur filter did not change that. The tds meter showed 188 without the pur filter, and 177 with.That is all.:bigjoint:

Vinegar is my route too, an excellent organic choice. The girls sure start to get thirsty as they put on weight, so it's good you have a plan before you find yourself spending all your cash on bottled water. bongsmilie

Here she is again. The larger, dead leaves fell off, and the rest of the necrosis has reversed itself. There still is a bit of cupping on the newer leaves, but I think one more watering with the epsom salts will take care of all of that.This plant really likes humidity...i don't know if that's an Indica thing or what, but when I take the humidity up to about 70 percent, this thing seems to thrive on it.I let it get back down into normal range, and I know that during flower, it needs to stay low, but this plant stretches out and seems to bask in the extra moisture in the air.I haven't had to water as much as I did with my sativas when I grew them(ice, and it was crap).True to its heritage, this plant wants to become a bush, not a tree.I have pics of the new leaf nodes as well.

I know..like I said, I think it's because of the mg deficiency, that's one of the side effects.If it doesn't go away by next water, then it may be something else.I only used about a quarter teaspoon of epsom salts in the water.Didn't wanna over do it.I had a 2 liter of water, added the epsom, and the plant took about half of that water,so I'll give it the other half in a few days, when it's dry.

Over health based limitsNote: Some pollutants may be in more than one category.
NOTE: Health based limits included in this analysis include enforceable drinking water limits (called Maximum Contaminant Limits, or MCLs) as well as governmental, non-enforceable health guidelines, such as Maximum Contaminant Limit Goals (MCLGs), lifetime health advisory levels, one-day and ten-day advisory levels to protect children from non-cancer health endpoints, and other government-established health guidelines for tap water contaminants.

Health Summary
Contaminants found in your tap water (1998 - 2002): 5
Health effects or target organs of contaminants found: Cardiovascular or Blood Toxicity, Cancer, Developmental Toxicity, Endocrine Toxicity, Kidney Toxicity, Gastrointestinal or Liver Toxicity, Neurotoxicity, Reproductive Toxicity, Respiratory Toxicity, and Skin Sensitivity.



Contaminants found above health based limits: 2

Contaminants listed may not have exceeded legal limits, which are set to balance cost and benefits and are often higher than health-based limits - see note below.

Testing Summary
Contaminants reported as tested by this water supplier: 49 Contaminants with federal legal limit in tapwater,
with testing required for most water systems: 73 Regulated contaminants tested
(chemicals with federal legal limits in tapwater): 47 Unregulated contaminants tested
(chemicals without federal legal limits in tapwater):2


Violation Summary
Total Violations:4Health Violations:3Monitoring Violations:1


Information on violations is drawn directly from EPA's national violations database in the Agency's Safe Drinking Water Information System. Analyses by others have raised questions about the quality of the information in EPA's database. For the purposes of this investigation, EWG is not showing below or including in our analyses, those violations for individual water suppliers that occurred on days for which the total number of violations assigned by EPA to that water supplier was greater than 20. This criteria was based on common characteristics of incorrect violations data as identified by water utilities, from a review of EPA's violations data by several hundred utilities prior to the release of EWG's investigation.
