First Grow: Barney's Purple Punch Auto

Day 37 Update: Heading back home in the AM should have a real update in 24 hours. I’m nervous. The seedlings might not have made it, but my main plant should be alive but stressed. C’est la vie! Photo is top view of tent from about minutes before I left last Tuesday. Excited to see them soon!! Day 38 Update: Well, shit. SO the seedlings are totally great! They need to all be closer to the light so the ones on the ground stop stretching so early, but they really look great! The one that seems the most stretched had....Wait, wrong diary. My big girl on the other hand, she's been better. This might be my first cannabis plant, but I've gardened off and on since I was young, and I know plants like this recover with a good rain all the time. I think she'll be okay. The report: the watering system worked really well actually, but because of how large my pots are and that I had all four systems pulling from the same reservoir, I think that 10 liter bucket was dry within 2 days. So the seedlings were able to draw on water through probably today. There was some dried mold/mildew on top of my soil, so I scraped that off into a discard bucket first thing. Two of 4 pots had some of it on top, I'll keep an eye on this situation. The stems and main stalk had plenty of turgidity so really, I'm thinking this deep soak will make such a huge difference. I'm just going to wait to see how it looks tomorrow before I do anything drastic. I put 3 ml of Tiger Bloom in half gallon and waited to let as much of it soak in to the soil. A fair amount ran off so I took the pot out to take pics and tidy the mess. I wouldn't mind a reassuring word from a seasoned grower that this isn't too far gone :) Day 39 Update: A little over twelve hours later, the plant was clearly on the way to recovery! I know this will affect final yield a lot, but another 24 hours could have been fatal. I'll probably just leave it alone after today. I took it out to take a number of photos from the same angles so you can really see the recovery. There were a number of fan leaves that were brown and brittle so I trimmed those. The net trimmings are visible in the background; it wasn't much. Think I might need to start my seedling diary soon. Day 40 Update: Recovery moving along just fine! Haven't done anything other than keep an eye on temp and humidity for the last 24 hours. One of my seedlings definitely has an issue that needs to be addressed. I'm arranging the pictures this week to show the growth of each angle after a period of time -- it should make sense when you click through. Plain water tonight or tomorrow morning. Day 41 Update: plain water later tonight, but otherwise things feel back on track. Pictures tell the tale better than words at this point. Day 42 Update: she got about a full Liter of plain water last night. I pruned the yellow fan leaves earlier today and a few that were blocking lower buds. All told about 20 leaves got cut off. Tiger bloom tomorrow. Seedlings are over 2 weeks so I started LST those. I knew my travels would affect the plant, but I think everything is back on track. With the yellow pruned out, it looks really healthy again!
