Dirty's First Grow

3/16 Watered along with nutrients a full gallon. Plant is very small and am pretty sure its because I stunted the growth by letting the pot dry out too much. Keeping a more closer eye on my soil moisture with my meter now. 3/18 Plant was getting dry and I watered it with a full gallon of water. I am still just taking my time adding my water with a 50 ML syringe. I am not in a rush and rather not deal with run off. Plant seems be taking the full gallon in about 2 days. 3/19 Checked on it this morning and saw that it was pretty full with leaves and cover a bunch of the bottom. I did a heavy defoliation. My 2 tops are finally starting to grow after the first topping back in week 3. At this rate I think I am going to veg for 8-10 weeks is my thought. 3/20 Checked on growth and did some more LST. Tried to open the middle of the canopy. Checked Soil moisture and it looks good.
