March 4, 2022 - Gave plant 64 oz of pH appropriate water. This was too much water or the water was poured to quickly to absorb without any runoff. The runoff amount was only a few ounces. The leaves were slightly wilted. Plants need to be watered less but with more frequency. March 5, 2022 - Topped off plant with a little more Coco Loco to fill in from soil settling/watering. Plant was LST as needed. March 6, 2022 - Plant received 64 oz of Drench made from pH appropriate water (2nd of 3 treatments). Slight runoff even when slowly pouring. Conclusion: 64 oz is fine for initial watering after transplanting into 5 gal pots however, it is too much for subsequent waterings. Humidifier was placed in grow tent to bring up humidity levels. Humidifier was set to 60%.

May 11, 2022 - Plant received 56 oz of pH appropriate water. May 14, 2022 - Plant received 32 oz of pH appropriate water. Dehumidifier was placed in tent to help decrease the tent humidity from 65%. Temperatures outside are fluctuating the internal tent temperatures a few degrees back and forth depending on the day but, staying well within a good range. Central AC temps are set to 70 F for day and 68 F at night. house humidity is at 55%. Noticed a few leaves getting wind-burned so, I changed the positions of the fans. Additional Notes: I've been told by someone my plants look a little behind where they should be for the flowering week. What do you guys think? If so, do you think this is due to the defoliation at week 3? Any constructive comments and suggestions on my grow welcome.

June 16, 2022 - Plant received 56 oz of pH appropriate water. The smell of the Sour Diesel has changed. Before, it was very gassy smelling but now, a pleasant sour smell is at the forefront. June 19, 2022 - Plant received 64 oz of pH appropriate water. My plant seems to be doing well but, it seems a few weeks behind where it should be. My guess is that I defoliated too much the last time and it slowed my plant down.
