She's coming along. The weak tea maybe could have been even weaker 😕, but I they'll get over it. They were all due for a drink so they got a decent flush to help wash out whatever I did.

1tsp Dr. Earth 4-6-3 top-dressed, massaged in, and watered down with pH 5.8 de-chlorinated, carbon filtered water. I added a cheap Vick's warm air humidifier in front of my oscillating fan, halfway through the week. Temp/RH much better now... not perfect but as winter approaches, the basement temperature will drop by about 10 degrees (typically) which should improve the VPD in the Basement Grow Zone (BGZ). I've brought BGZ VPD down from 1.7-ish to 1.1 or so. The four sensors are: 1: BGZ @ eye level 2: BGZ @ canopy 3: BGZ @ knee level IN: Main Floor Living Space @ waist level VPD Calculator and Reference: https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/vapor-pressure-deficit

At the start of this week, she got a bigger pot. Surprisingly, this Colombian Gold seems to be more tolerant of my grow environment and newbliness 😆 With the new humidifier comes better data collection. Created a pivot table in my Google spreadsheet to better organize and present the data I'm collecting.

My brand new Vevor humidifier took a crap, so... yeah, this will be interesting. Anyway, also updated some data-geek stuff. Don't get weirded about by the weird growth charts, it's a data collection issue (consistency - leaves up, down, new growth at top, etc.). Now that I have the data presentation bit more or less usable, my data collection methods will see improvement. In theory. Santa bringing new humidifier and lights before Thanksgiving. Topped her in prep for mainlining.
