Yea I have been skipping over the FAQ videos to go back over afterward but I probably shouldn’t skip them huh
Thank You Azi your always so helpful it is much appreciated my friend
Thank you I am Thinking I am defoliate a bit as there is a bit of stuff being blocked by them and its time for a light trim.Nice looking ladies... I love big fans...
Yes all things considered it is! I don't mean to sound like I'm unhappy with my garden. I just have too much time on my hands looking at other methods and thinking man this or that wouldn't be a problem now
.Another watering update (12/25) Day 29
I know u liked that one lmao but jokes aside if you either manage to find a problem and save her or she dies it's all experience and knowledge.. if it works out u might not worry at all next time as your confidence has grown. If you use perlite or anything give her extra or do a little experiment to see if an idea works but don't waste it! 
This was only an assessment I didn't give any water to anything.
Yes I noticed that just in general I was driving them very hard and because of that it was making maintaining the environment harder as a result.
So, I do aim the humidifier nozzle away from the plants sometimes. This only for veg, realistically I shouldn't need the humidifier in flower as my humidity without it would be about 40 percent maybe lower, while it is in another tent that is vegging. I also have the clip fan circulating air over the plants and the probe hanging right in between the center of the canopy. Tho the mist "falls" over the plants it blows around and not allowed to settle on the plants. I've never noticed a wet spot on any of the leaves ever. I would like to set it out of the tent, but this model doesn't allow for that. The cloud forge from A/C would make that possible but unfortunately, they are never in stock.
Yea maybe I let my frustration with her spill over a little too muchDon't give up hope give her the pot up gives you the opportunity to see any root cause
I'm really just allowing her to dry out and then I'll probably up pot her from there see if she's able to snap out of it with the added space.Although it is important, in a living soil you as the grower don't have to maintain it or check as you would with bottled nutrients unless a problem arises, but it is meant to be water only the soil manages the PH.
This is an important gem because I was worried that maybe by stripping too much out of the water I was doing more harm than good.
I would have to look back I believe there was a watering in there with Cal/mag only PH'd to 6.3. FWF? FWWF? Fresh water flush? I'm not sure what those are if it is flushing both the CC were flushed at the uppoting and then given a feeding tho they stayed in 1 g pots. I may go ahead and up pot them the next "watering" when they dry out will be water and cal/mag PH a little higher to allow for better Calcium absorption.
No matter how much more experience I have or don't I appreciate ANY AND ALL INPUT!Have a read and a think as I know I'm newer the you to all this but thought Id try help instead of sit here with my pom poms
but either or is appreciated so don't feel obligated either!
Omg lol how the heck did I not realize that
Yea maybe I let my frustration with her spill over a little too much
It is all experience as you said no matter what happens I will be better equipped for next time! There are always more seeds. (Of her and others I'm excited to try) No matter the seed tho this is now in my toolbox to fall back on later
we all show a bit if frustration at times.. I've opened my tent before straight up threatened to take limbs! but within minutes I'm praying for them 
But yours will make it.I'm sure it won't be your RO water mine comes out at 0ppm then I add my cal mag and buffer. Which works better then my tap/RO mix.
Sorry I should have explained my abbreviation. In my notes to myself lol f means feed with nutes and w is water with just calmag. So feed water feed or feed water water feed.
No matter how much more experience I have or don't I appreciate ANY AND ALL INPUT!
I never claim to know everything and don't look forward to ever knowing it all that would be pretty boring IMO
If you see something say something it starts conversation at the very least and gets us talking no opinion is wrong here. I'd prefer you said something rather than sit there with your pom poms
Where did you get them pom poms from I was looking all over to use them when I wrote the message. did you just type or can you select them somewhere? No worries and for me as I'm explaining things to you it's making me realise and possibly run a test in my grow
.
I use the essential ph pen and seems to work well, blue lab I see everyone use so no doubt it's the go to. As for soil pen I doubt you would need it.. once you get this grow on point I think organic will be a breeze but you need the pen in this one at least to fully understand your water.
I decided to save the $100.00 and go with a @VIVOSUN 3 in one this time.
Hey Boots, for me I'd go with just a ph pen. That way you can always do a slurry test for soil ph using it when need. I use a mid priced one and calibrate it. Blue Lab is nice though.
Garden looks great.MAJOR UPDATE (CATCH UP) 12/29 Day 33
Ok there is a ton to get into in this and Suzanne's journal so if it seems like this update is as fluffy as usual that is why.
It has been super busy in the tent and as of this weekend I say Sunday at the latest, we will be running 2 tents!
Let's see how we got here in just a couple of days!
Looking back at our last update it was Day 29 and all, but the Cookie Crisps seemed to have recovered. CC1 looking worse of the bunch. It seems the transplant really helped. I also haven't even considered watering them.
They continue to look better every day so I'm letting them tell me something is needed.
When I think they need water I will prepare it and then wait another day. This will help to avoid overwatering.
In terms of the schedule were aiming for F W F with more dry days in between.
I think my positioning of equipment was a big factor leading me to watering much more often than I needed.
On top of the Cal/mag issue I created early on, it was on track to be a disappointment.
Thank you to everyone who chimed in over the past week while we corrected the ship!
I encourage ALL input, opinion, critique whatever you want to call it, it makes us all better and starts the conversation.
The PBK 2 and both PGC 1 & 2 have recovered fully from the overwatering.
I did do a little bit of defoliation on just the big fan leaves that were really blocking air flow and lower branching.
I also tried to do a little LST on them and spread them out a little bit which they really responded to.
The leaves on all 3 of these plants have started to stand on their own and growth new growth looks healthy.
They also don't have that dry papery look that @Keffka mentioned. They definitely no longer feel papery either.
While doing their defoil and a little bit of LST, I don't think I was heavy handed but the top branch of the PGC 1 snapped clean off the top.
I did my normal method and cut the leaves in a way that subtly expressed my feelings at the time but also helped me remember what strain it was
The CC2 had started to show some improvement while in the 1-Gal pot given the time to dry out.
I decided that a transplant would help finish the recovery and I was right.
I didn't have any more 2-Gal pots, so I had to put her into a 3.
Again, same method as before perlite and DE in the bottom. Myco generously in the hole.
Water her in with Cal/mag water PH to 6.3 - 6.4. (When I mix my Cal/mag at 5ml/Gal PH falls to this naturally, so I leave it)
I put DE over the top and will scrape it in better when it dries out a bit. I like that it helps to see the moisture of the soil as it does dry.
I took a few leaves to defoil her at this point.
She looked like a totally different plant a day later.
I decided that it was worth the shot to try to give CC1 a fighting chance, only I had no more soil.
I figured CC2 was going to have the best chance at the time, so I used what I had left on her.
Yesterday I decided to check out the other local hydroponic shops in my area. I found a hydro MEGA store!
It was like dying and waking up in growers' heaven!
They had it ALL!
I picked up 2 bags of Roots Organics LUSH soil. Originally, I wanted to start in this soil but the shop I went to didn't have it in stock.
I settled on the original and ended up introducing FG in the garden out the gate.
Improper watering there after only bred them while I chased my tail trying to kill them.
I thoroughly checked these bags breaking down and hand tossing any clumps and making sure there was nothing flying around when I opened the bag. I was confident there was not plus we already have them.
I'm sure they will try to find their way there and we'll be prepared for them.
Apparently, this LUSH soil is rich enough to feed the plants for a full 8 weeks with just water?!
This will be something I'll be testing out. If I can mix up Cal/mag it naturally falls to 6.3 and I just spray it in?!
YES PLEASE. This will be the perfect soil to simplify things until we can build our own LOS.
The CC1 will be allowed to recover in this new soil in her 3-Gal pot on just water before we consider pushing her into flower. We will take clones from her when she does recover and flip her into flower soon after, as she is in the biggest pot I want to flower (3-Gal) in outside of the SIP's.
We will see how she responds.
The Temp and Humidity have been in check ever since adjusting our setup. No more tinkering, just stand back and let them work.
Things are beginning to become a bit crowded as they grow. Luckily, I got the email this morning that the A/C infinity plugs that I was expecting Jan 5th - Jan 7th will be here tomorrow!
This is a HUGE break because now we can run the 3x4 tent same as the 2x4 A/C tent. With automations and such and dial it in for veg.
We can now flip the switch on the 2x4 whenever we are ready.
I ordered the S6 oscillation fan, another humidifier to replace the one that broke a while ago, and the PH pen from VIVOSUN that @Bill284 suggested.
I figured it was better to spread the coin around more evenly instead of investing so heavily on a pen I plan to not need in the future. It will do what we need it to do for now.
I will post a photo dump to show the progress over the past couple days. I will post updated pictures at lights on tonight.
Thank you for your time and as always Thank you for stopping by!
