Don’t worry about normal levels of chlorine in your tapwater. Like, literally, stop thinking about it if you’re prone to anxiety. Our soil biology is very resilient and will not be measurably impacted by chlorine.
Also, no need to bubble your water or any of those other treatments. You don’t have to do anything to it other than use it for watering straight from the tap. However, if you’re very nervous, just let it sit out for 24hrs and the chlorine will naturally offgas.
Right now, the issues you’re experiencing are small pots and big plants. Reverse that and your plants will thrive, assuming you water them with no more than 10% the volume of soil at transplant, and 5%-10% thereafter when the pots are light.
Also, some part of the issue is likely the energy you’re putting out. We create our own reality in part by the thoughts and energy we put out. Plants are very sensitive to it, as are some friends/family/pets. Think good thoughts, remember to focus on the blessings and forget all the negatives. Envision success, create goals, honestly work towards them, and most importantly:
leave it the fuck alone - LITFA.
