--Cheese is doing overall really well; seems to truly thrive in all environments where Cream cookies on the other hand has more delicate genetics.
--I bought a heat lamp to bring the overall grow room temp up into the 70<Temp<75 range. Went a little overboard--approached 80F and at that point the Cream Cookies started to show signs of stress--I turned the grow lamp off but it was time for a feeding so to test is the thirst or heat caused the droopage i gave a half dose of water. The plant didnt immediately improve but this morning made a full recovery. Im only going to use the heat lamp when my apartment's AC brings the temp into the <68F range.
--I havent used a humidifier this grow because of the Leaf Septoria issues i ran into last grow. Doesnt seem worth it. I training the seedlings to lower %RH environments--It can be done!!

--Cheese is doing amazing, going to FIM most likely some time later in the week once the fourth node comes through
--Cream cookies is doing much better, didnt water today just to observe and surprisingly bounced back. Going to hold out until she shows obvious signs of thirst

--I think I'm definitely overwatering my babies. Ive been suspecting overwatering on cream cookies, as every time I watered the droop got worse, not better. Haven't watered Cream Cookies goin on 2 days and Im seeing no droop, and the plant seems to be thriving.
--Im overwatering on cheese as well. Started slightly drooping last night, feed it with 250 mL week 3 nutrient solution. Woke up this morning and she was drooping still--indicating to me that she didn't want that water when I gave it to her. Going to lay off on the watering for 2 days and see what happens.
--Otherwise both plants are looking really healthy. There is no clawing and they are responding well to the nutrients. Third Nodes have popped on both plants.
--Cheese Is on its fourth node--very close to FIMing. Excited as I think Cheese is really healthy and can handle it. Going to hold off on cream cookies FIM until I get the watering down.
--WATERING IN COCO IS SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WATERING IN SOIL. Will update Friday.

--CC is doing really well-still no droop--definitely suspect overwatering
--CC started fat drooping--watered with 250mL of week 3 nutrient solution
--Not going to feed Cheese tonight because I think it is suffering mild stress from overwatering. I want to see what it looks like in the morning--suspect its still going to be leaves up-they seem to experience a healthy slight droop age cycle with the day/night cycle.

--Cheese was +5/10 leaves up--FIM done on the 4th node
--CC is flourishing--doing really well
--Just FIMed cheese. Decided to do it at the 4th node because Cheese is just looking really healthy. Definitely healthy enough to recover quickly. Should water tonight and would have if I didn't FIM tonight. Don't want to overly stress the plant as I don't think its looking for water--going to let it figure out what's going on before I feed again.

--Cheese responded well to FIMing I did. Still hasn't started drooping
--CC is leaves up loving life.
Found a small spider web in the corner of my grow room. Should I pull it down or leave it up? I don't have a pest problem at all and this spider just seems to have already been in my place. Extra pest protection im thinking. Can anybody think of downsides to leaving it up?
If you are sure it is a spider then it wont hurt anything to leave it in there. Natural predators are the best pest control you can get. He wont hurt anything.
@Cannibalgardens, thank you! The genetics are really strong but she's a little sensitive to overwatering. Best of luck on your grow! Ill try and follow along to see if I can pick up some tips and/or tricks!
Hey there!
Thanks so much for growing our genetics =)
Good luck with your Cream Cookies, if you need any assistance, just let us know! ππΌ
Happy Growing ππ±
@Cannibalgardens, Im really liking the advanced nutrients Sensi line. Don't trust the pH perfect technology. Ive only had 1 batch of nutrient solution come out with a pH of >5.8. Ive been using RO water from the closest department store. The nutrients themselves though are amazing. My babies are flourishing.
@Wildotter, Ive always found it extremely interesting how plants get "used to" and grow to expect a routine. Ive found there is no wrong way of watering plants, it just all comes down to what the plants are used to! Blows my mind how advanced plants are. Good luck on your grow!
Hi, I'm not telling you what to do but just be careful of your ph, it is 5.6 and if you dip below 5.5 or less you could run into problems. Looking good otherwise ππππ
@OhcanaDAbiz, Good to know! Seems that Growdiaries really doesn't like significant digits, but the true solution pH is 5.71. Whats a good target pH for hydro? I've been varying the pH every feed in the range of 5.6-6.0.
As always any advice and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated and I will always take feedback. Cant learn from the community if you don't listen!
