Had some heat and watering stress, had to leave my grow for a bit and my neighbor was coming by to help and well they got stressed :(

Anything I should do?

Or should it be OK as long as I take care of it till the end of the grow?

Details:
- Strain: Michoacan x Zacatecas sativa (Snowhigh Seeds)
- Organic grow with supersoil, 7 gallon pot
- Temps are a bit high sometimes, range from 78F - 86F
- Humidity around 60%-65%
- Had some stress the past month, but thing better now (in terms of watering)

It's the neighbors fault, lol.

JK. What is the pH? And what are you feeding them?

True, but well no one else was around to help :(

Not sure about pH, you mean of the runoff, from watering the plants?

Used new super-soil from Mountainside Organicos, so not feeding them anything, just RO water.

I'd feed them then. They're probably hungry.

And why RO water?

If you're just growing organic through soil and RO water thats not Ph Balanced you will inevitably run into issues somewhere down the line. I started organic with 0 knowledge and my plants were wack my first year or so i'm growing loud now.

First you're gonna wanna be flowering in around 50%-55% humidity no higher then that unless its mold resistant strain that asks for a more tropical enviro (Not v common) the conditions you have now are perfect for veg any higher then 70% humidity is overkill.
Run down to your plant store or order a Ph stick online ($10), test your water to make sure its between 6.0 - 6.5ph tap water and ro water is normally around 7.5-8 but do keep in mind your ph stick wont work with RO water since its ppi is too low and it will not read accurate.

I think your main problem is gonna be the ph of the soil. water the plant until water comes out the bottom collect that water and use your ph stick to read it. im guessing you're around 8ph so you're gonna wanna pickup ph down solution and add enough until your water is around 6.0 or lower and flush the pots with it. You dont have much time to counter correct by the looks of the buds but i recommend just using low ph water to help get it back to 6.2

Sorry if this is a lot! i had this exact issue before. next grow just water with 6.0-6.5 the whole grow and fluctuate between since diff nutrients are absorbed at different quantities at different ph levels

Thanks! I will get a ph stick and check.

Would liquamins (liquid minerals) help to raise the pH of the water, if it's too high? (link)

I believe RO water is acidic, since there's no minerals in it.
