Vinegar As PH Down = Pickeld Buds.. YUCK

I used apple cider vinegar to adjust my hi ph tap water and one plant has the worst smell/taste ever.. It smells like vinegar.. Strain is nirvana bubbelicious.. 2 plants were givin vinegar as PH and one of them has a very very bad vinegar smell and taste.. Just to see if it was the vinegar that was causing the smell,I cut a bud and water cured it for 3 days and after the third day ( changing water daily ) the water and bud smelled of very very loud vinegar.. almost like I poured straight vinegar into the water with the bud.. It was THAT BAD..Its weird that only one of the 2 plants displayed this.. Anyone else ever experience this?

thats really weird that only 1 took the vinegar smell / taste, could you have over watered one of them with the vinegar water and less on the other one?

Old school-
You got me worried bro-
I pH down with Apple cider vinegar. My pH runs about 7.7 out of the hose. I add half/two thirds cup of ACV to my 30 gallon feed tank. It adjusts the water to about 6.2pH - 6.4ish.
Did you flush?
When you flushed did you use vinegar to adjust the pH of the water?

Please let me know-
