Overall given mostly identical conditions, these aren't faring as well as some of my other starts. Certainly seem to require a slightly different pre- & post- natal routine... (photoperiod vs autoflower maybe). 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

Hmm... seems that BigSis isn't feeling well. Possible overwatering. Runty isn't exhibiting symptoms. Since these are photoperiod, now is as good a time as any to move this one to a 3 gallon pot filled with Soil, Coco, and Dr. Earth. The new soil was kept intentionally slightly dry to facilitate the drawing out of any excess water in the rootball. FWIW, her roots look nice and bright white.
Coming along nicely. A bit of a slow start due to my own newb-liness.
My overall plan this grow cycle is to let grow naturally with limited manhandling, so I can get a decent baseline which can inform my future grows for this cultivar. There is no point in mucking about with unknowns until you know em, ya know?!
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.

Wasn't expecting DWp-001 (Runty) to survive, but there she is.
Once these are under better lighting they'll be a lot happier.
In the meantime, this seemed like a great time to top them both in prep for mainlining.
