Hypochlorous Acid......a Deep Dive

Hi all more questions here. I love this stuff. Screw that outdoors PM.

@BudBusterPro recommend PH between 3.5 to 5.0

The stuff I buy is always a little above 5. If I dilute it with distilled water it ends up around 5.7 or so. It works well still, but do I risk turning it into bleach at some point? I’m still confused about all that.

I did start to add white distilled vinegar to bring the PH down more, but that also adds a smell and from what I looked up vinegar takes a while to evaporate, like weeks.

I wonder if I even have to use vinegar. Some searching online suggests that higher PH is ok as long as it’s still on the acidic side.

Do I need to bring PH down at all, or is it ok to as long as PH is under 6.0? I’d like to avoid using vinegar, just because I don’t want to risk changing terps and/or taste, but maybe it’s not a concern and I’m just overthinking it?

Still learning, any feedback is much appreciated.
