Hello to all- thanks for helping this new grower!

---------------
Soil Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
Seeds (I got them at about 10-12 weeks)

2. How old are your plants?
about 6-7 months

3. How tall are your plants?
about 3ft.

4. What size containers are they planted in?
10 gallon

5. What is your soil mix?
coco fiber and potting soil (with light perlite)
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?
every 3-4 days; ~1.5g per plant; water from a chlorine/chemical filter on my shower head- new wave brand
7. What is the pH of your water?
don't know

8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?
Age Old Grow (12-6-6), and now AO Bloom (5-10-5)

9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
no

10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
sunshine on a northward facing balcony patio

11. How close are your lights to the plants?

5x10 open outdoor area
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
Rocky Mountains high country...6620 ft Alt., 12% humidity today, and 50* (but maybe colder on the second floor in the shadows?)

14. What is the pH of the soil?
don't know

15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
some regular flies and little flies; I use a neem oil and water blend to spray all over the place when I see a gnatty fly

16. How much experience do you have growing?
this is the first time I have ever even kept a tomato plant alive, but I started my garden so late; I am worried about the herb, not the tomatoes.
-------------------
First; I know I need a thermometer and a Ph checker; this just all came up pretty suddenly after a very easy beginning.

I have two plants that are about a month away (I've been told) from being ready to harvest. It's getting chilly here, but so far they haven't had a problem with it. I went away for a job for a week, and my friend over-watered and over-fertilized. When I got back one plant (Plant A) was droopy (and had been for a day or so...) because it had been sitting in water! So I drained it, but since it hasn't warmed up again I am wondering if I can save it, or should I just flush it and harvest? The smell is gone; it just smells a little plant-y now. I brought it inside for a few hours today since the sun is gone from the space for the day, hopefully to warm it up. The other (Plant B) is doing fine, but I'm wondering how much cold it can stand!

Plant A) over-watered, drooping and bronze-ish spots on leaves... the smell is gone.

Plant B) doing fine! and still outside...

Thanks again for any help I can get in saving or harvesting the one, and how and when to finish off the other!
