I have 2 more seeds in this pack and I can't wait to try them because I messed this one up. I overwatered her twice, snapped off the main cola during LST, and let the soil get super acidic leading to mag/cal lock out. She was stunted and very short, but man the buds are dense and frosty and smell amazing. Super fruity smell. I can't wait to vape this.
I like Gaia Green. I had some Magnesium deficency on 1 plant but I think it was a ph issue and not a nutrient issue. It's so easy. I grew 4 autoflowers but just mixing 444 into the soil and then top dressing with some 284 and a bit of extra 444 in early flower.
It's a pretty decent tent. Can't say too much because it's the only one I've owned. It's good. The only issue is I kept catching the ribbon to tie the door back in the zipper, but that's a minor issue. It's a very thick and sturdy tent.
I messed this girl up with tons of newbie mistakes but she still gave me a few amazing dense buds that smell so fruity, It's smells like weed on a lemon blueberry muffin. I'm happy I have 2 more seeds. I'm looking forward to running Blue Critical again and making less newbie mistakes and getting an even better harvest.
@Ferenc, Thanks,
You got any tips for not overdrying?
Everything I've read says when the smallest branches snap. They sweet skunks have been hanging for 5 days and all branches just bend. No snapping.

Good Morning.
Droopy leaves occur with both under watering and overwatering. If the leaves feel dry and are slightly thin, it's under watering. If the leaves feel full and seem bloated, it's overwatering. Looking at your photos they seem to be puffy, so most likely you're using too much water, especially if your note about giving each plant a gallon each day is accurate.
Back to your data notes again, it sounds like you're continuing to feed with both the original all purpose fertilizer and have added the Bloom fertilizer as well? If so they're probably getting an excess of nitrogen. They're still growing and need some nitrogen for a few more weeks, but if you're giving both, that's causing the nutrient stress.
Also, I noted that you said you've been tucking some of your leaves to expose the lower buds, but I couldn't see any on your photos. This is a key time to get all those dozens of under-canopy buds exposed, so if you can't do it by tucking, you'll need to do some aggressive pruning.
If you haven't done so yet I suggest you Go to the GrowWeedEasy site and review their "Problems and Symptoms" link. They have an excellent section on diagnosing your problems complete with good photos. The last time I checked, Nebula Haze and her team had 500+ tutorials. Just be careful not to be one of those folks who go to WebMD and imagine they have every illness know to science!
All of this said, you've been doing a great job with your girls, and I love the methodical and detailed entries...librarians obviously are detail oriented!
You're doing great, so don't stress out and enjoy the ride.
Take Care.
Not a big deal snapping off the main stem. Happens to everyone who trains their plants. If anything, it was an unintentional topping and gives you an opportunity to see how the plant reacts to topping.
