Looks like its just leaning to the light. The stem is thin so it may look like it's damaged. Looks fine to me.

It could be damp off. Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon around her and water it in. If it's not to late it will help. Cheers

PH problems (DWC)I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?
