--Came back from vaca to find that many failed FIM on Cheese did do something. It caused the undergrowth to vigorously catch up in length to the main stem. Did a better FIM on the 5th node to actually grow more nodes.
--FIMed Cream cookies at the fifth node.
--Going to start LST once both plants recover from FIM. Don't want to add additional stressors.

--Cream Cookies recovered really well from FIM stress and went leaves up (always super happy to see leaves up loving life)
--Cheese as always is unstoppable. Doesn't seem like you can do anything to it it won't like and respond to with leaves up

--Went on vacation this week and set up the Wizen cam over the grow so I can monitor it. One of my coworkers was gracious enough to agree to come and water the plants upon my instruction based on my monitoring of the plants!
--Watered on 7/25 with 350 mL of Week 4 nutrient solution.
--From what I can tell the plants are really responding positively to both the FIM as well as the nutrient solution. There is zero clawing and the color of new growth is a beautiful deep green. When I get back I am going to start LST as well as do some defoliation to get some light down into the lower bud sites. Very excited.
--Post FIM the plants are doing things exactly as expected. Initially the plant focused on the undergrowth and repairing the cut parts of tissue. After that was completed it became obvious that new main cola sites began developing from the FIM site. Very happy to see both branches on the first node finally reach the canopy. Im hoping the growth is so explosive ill have to LST all the branches--which would be great.
--Extremely happy with these genetics and even more excited to see how these plants mature.

--From remote monitoring the plants are doing EXTREMELY well. Both plants have completely recovered from FIMing and what I can tell there are 4 new main cola branches growing out of the FIM site on both plants. Undergrowth had caught up to the main stem, and when I get back I'm going to start LST as well as some defoliation to really give ample amount of light to the girls. Im very confident that I will at least double yields when compared to my second grow.
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! ๐๐ผ
Happy Growing ๐๐ฑ
@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 ๐๐๐๐
@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!
