any propper info will tell you the ph should be around 6 for plants.
blue lab explains it and gh makes a ph control kit with all the info you need

i would flush and start a propper nute schedule

All my water is tap water and is 7.0..my plants love..the salts only build up if you keep feeding without flushing..I feed ...then straight tap water..feed..straight tap water..do not ditch it..even from your shitty picture I can tell that the plant is nowhere near bad enough to toss it in the garbage.
