Need help with diagnosis… (Super Soil Growing)

What up y’all, I’ve been running these Wedding Pie clones in my 2x4 using organic super soil in 5 gallon fabric pots. These plants are slowly dying and I’m not sure why. At first, I was recommended that i was giving them too much water, and they were showing overwatering symptoms. But I dialed way down on the watering and the leaves are still growing looking deformed. One theory I had was with the pH, since my tap water pH is so high, I use a LOT of organic apple cider vinegar to lower it. But I’m afraid it may be a little too much. Is this something bad and is it damaging my plants? It’s also worth noting that when I first transplanted them, the temps and RH levels were way too high and low. Some days, the plants were around 90 degree heat and humidity levels as low as 30%. View attachment 5223006Another theory I had was the roots being damaged. Let me know what you guys think, is it something in my soil? In my water? If they don’t recover by the time I’m ready to flower, they’re gonna have to be chopped unfortunately. Let me know y’all! Thanks

8.0 isn't that bad. My well water is around 7.8, and I don't adjust mine. Citric acid is better than vinegar if you want to lower water pH.

I meant the ppm of your water. Too much of one nutrient can affect others. Too much Ca is a big one. Those leaves look K deficient and Ca can lockout K. My well water is around 150 ppm I think and has plenty Ca.

And runoff isn't a good way to check anything.

My first thought is pH though.
