I feed my plants rainwater I save in 55 gal drums. The problem is mosquito,s bred in it and to kill the larve, I dumped a cupfull of bleach in it and stirred it up and left it a few days without watering with it. We had some rain which further diluted the water. After a few days, I then watered my plants with it(I couldn't smell any bleach in it). I now have two plants that seem affected with it or something, as some of the leaves have yellowed,curled and or died. Even so,I'm still having good growth and most all the leaves have 11 barbs on each blade. Since then i've used very clean water(I can/have drink it).

Will this bleach be harmful or will it pass?

sounds like it is passing .... if like you say the new growth is good .... the plants are highly self healing .... so with some dead leaves and new growth .... sounds almost normal .... hahahaha! Walk On!!~~~

yea ...I can imagine .... an empty helpless feeling .... but the fact that you have been in essence flushing them with clean water since ...I suspect all will work out .... you might lose a week or so .... but no biggie.
