Super easy, once you have the extract.
Box of Jello (not instant, the kind you cook), I used cherry
2 TBSP extra gelatin
1/2 cup water
Gummy mold
Citric acid if you want sour gummies

I got the PPM meter. Standard tap was 112 ppm, filtered, 85. My bloom solution, 680. So what have I learned?

All the watering schedules I see say to use plain ph balanced water for every 2nd watering, is that accurate for my situations?

We definitely need to schedule a gathering.

Thank you for the advice, the cococoir plants have been recovering nicely since I started watering every day and watering and adding nutrients every second day. I'm wondering how they were ever healthy since at the mid-to end veg state they were quite healthy with watering only every 3-4 days.
The soil ones are doing "ok" but not really bounding back like the cococoir ones...I'm wondering if they are OVER-nuted.

Jordan, I wouldn't alternate flush and feed like that. Here is what I would do. Set it up so they get watered two or three times a day. As long as they aren't waterlogged they will be fine. Those waterings should be nutrients. Then every few days, flush. Or flush when you change out your nutes.
Just my opinion and honestly I haven't grown hydroponically in a long time.

Thanks Mike. The nute schedule I have says plain water every 2nd watering, which is why I was doing it.
Next time I'm doing soil, if I leave on a trip I won't have anyone to water and add nutrients, I'm not roping my lodger into this

It's super easy to over-nutrient plants and is super common. We tend to think if 20ml per gallon is good, then 30ml per gallon must be better, but less is more when it comes to nutes, though the mfr's instructions are generally the best to go by. Did the plants burn at a change in schedule, or shortly thereafter? What are you using anyway?
Was just reading back, Mike was spot on about the watering/feeds. Coco is basically a hydroponic medium. The people who are killing it with coco are watering/feeding 3+ times a day at short intervals during a light cycle and it won't work well being treated like soil. You're also supposed to pre-charge the coco with a diluted mix of your nutrients. I think you'd like coco more once you sort out the nuances. Don't put too much into my words though, I haven't done indoor stuffs, just been reading a bunch in preparation for a little tent setup.
