tempae Planted both seeds in Rapid Rooters within clay pebble substrate. No nutrients until after germination.
Planted on 6/28/2025 shortly after being married.
Cherry Punch F1 is named "Chip"
Ice Cream Haze is named "Kim"

tempae Both fully germinated 07/01/2025 and were moved into the hydroponic setups.
Lights and fan were installed and power fully set up with timer for lights and always-on for hydroponic + air.
Air system set up purely for heat removal until smell forces a carbon filter.
Nutrients starting tomorrow - 1/4 strength General Hydroponics trio. Balancing pH with GH pH kit and digital tester.

tempae Encountered a few issues related to pH, water temperature, and humidity that delayed the seedlings pretty heavily. Corrected pH using General Hydroponics pH up/down and a digital meter following a complete reservoir swap.
All factors having been corrected now and nutrients are in full swing starting ~08/01/2025: both plants are recovering well. Ice Cream Haze is far happier in the growing environment and has fared better through the startup issues. Cherry Punch is recovering, but did not fare nearly as well. The pictures show this quite starkly.
I've removed as much dead and/or dying growth as possible that didn't start recovering within 2-3 days post-nutrients and variable fixes. Starting to plan and perform LST and other training methods.
I foresee a few potential future issues:
-Stability of grow medium as plants grow larger (maybe use tent to support plant trunk?)
-Reservoir temperature stability as usage increases and more water has to be added (pre-make larger quantities of nutrient mix?)
-Access of Cherry Punch reservoir and plant (this is a simple tent size problem)
-Root health and stability (need to investigate various solutions here)
-Reservoir temperature as it relates to room temperature (aquarium chiller? frozen bottles? Currently using freezer "ice" packs)
Overall excited and am looking forward to growth over the next week! :D
