3 Bears OG by Mephisto

First off, I pulled a few big noob moves I'd like to address. When I initially started my diary I had never used the platform before, so it was all very new to me. I didn't start the diary until the seed had sprouted and hadn't documented the germination process, so I stupidly included the whole first week in the germination stage, week one was actually week two, and I didn't realize my mistake until day fourteen when it eventually clicked for me. I tried to edit the weeks in my diary, add in week two and move the other info up to week one, and so on. But somehow I managed to completely mess it all up, and had to delete the diary and start fresh. Day 15 So for all of week two I was under watering my plant thinking it was only week one. *facepalm* She looked a little weak, although she continued to grow, I feel she probably got a little stressed out due to this and may have stunted a tad. So because of that confusion, and not watering as much as I should have, my soil dried out completely. I was only dripping a few oz.s of water around the plant and spraying the top to keep it moist, and it got so dry it was repelling water. Not only does this make it difficult to re hydrate, it's bad for the micro organisms in the soil. So I was pretty disappointed in my self when I noticed this. To remedy this, and hopefully save my baby, I am wetting it as best I can. Watering more out to the edges away from the plant, trying to balance getting it moist again and not over watering. Because the would really sting at this point. Light set to 18" Day 16 The soil has seemed to keep its moisture content over night. I'm thinking I'll have to water around one liter or maybe two every watering due to the large pot size and dry environment. The plant is sitting around 5" tall, but beefing up and shooting out new growth almost every day. The internodal spacing seems tight. At this point I am accepting shes probably a week behind on growth and hoping I see some improvements after her first feed. Day 19 Added in a new, much quieter fan, a thermometer, and a hygrometer. My predictions on the temperatures seem to be pretty spot on and the humidity isn't as bad as I thought. Hovering between 40-60%Rh. The plant looks much happier. The stalk is thickening up, and side branches are starting to reach up. Day 20 Just watered 2 liters mixed with 1/8th of a tsp of fish fertilizer NPK 2-3-0 (1/16th strength dose) pH 6.3 25 degrees Celsius, 55% rH, light set to 18" above canopy. Day 21 The plant definitely responded to the light feeding. The leaves have thickened up and darkened just a bit. It will probably be straight water over the next few days. Mid day the temps are around 27 degrees celsius and the rH is just above 60%. Over all the plant looks happy. It has slowed growing vertically at this point, sitting just under 6 inches. But has quadrupled its size width ways, and continued to produce side branching. The stalk is thicker then I expected near the end of week 3 so I may not LST in the traditional sense. I might let her tree out, moving all the side arms around in her in a circle. I may rig up a ring around the base of the soil to aid in this. Day 22 Checked on her this morning. Temps and humidity seem to be pretty steady. Soil is retaining moisture again. The amount of growth this week is unreal. The stem was getting thicker and looking woody so I figured LST was out the question. But she was leaning to one side so I figured she was trying to tell me something. Well I guess she was! This plant is made of rubber. She easily took a 90° bend and would have gone more. But I figured I can keep adjusting as time goes on. No need to push her to the limits on day one of traning. Week 3 was a lot less stressful. I figured out a few problems and so far it seems I have fixed them for now. Going to start feeding again in week 4 with more fish fertilizer. Then going to start adding some dry amendments to get ready for flowering towards the end of week four or beginning of week 5. It should take a week for the nutrients to become available to the plant I'd like to hit her on the sweet spot so the nutes are there when she needs them.
