Happy Daze

This was her first week of flowering and it was the least amount of handling from me. Her dark period is 8am to 8pm and lights are on 8pm to 8am. Mon 19/07 Day 1 flowering. She wasn't thirsty and I let her be Tue 20/07 The top soil was still damp and I skipped watering again Wed 21/07 I gave her a splash of water out of paranoia of not having fed her for 2 days. Plus I was leaving town till Friday evening and didn't want to come back to a overly thirsty plant Thu 22/07 I was away Fri 23/07 I gave her a quick look when I got back and she had grown a total of 5" in the last week. I fed her 1 ltr of water ph of 6.8 with epsom salts Sat 24/07 I prepared a top dressing for her that contained: 40% cocopeat/perlite mix, 10% humate powder, 10% bonemeal, 20% organic soil improver and 20% worm castings. I was to add this and water her today and since she didn't look or feel thirsty, I planned this for the next day Sun 25/07 In the morning, her pot was still heavy and the soil was pretty compacted - I am suspecting some issues at root level as this is quite slow water uptake during flowering. I am also going to read up about VPD as I am currently running the exhaust on full to acquire RH below 50%. I have skipped both watering and top dressing for Week 2 of flowering that begins on Mon 26/07 I intend to defoliate, top dress and water on Monday and then only focus on watering her.
