My First Grow

Week 3 Day 15 (7/31) I gave her a small drink last night and she perked back up quickly. Lets me know that tomorrow I will need to do a full watering before I leave town overnight. Today I will mix up some water, Mammoth P, Roots Excelurator, and a little molasses. I'll let it sit 24 hours and water her tomorrow before I leave. I measured her this morning and she's just over 3". I'm hoping she shoots up some more pretty quick so I feel better about starting some LST. She seems too small right now. I watered her tonight. I used a half gallon of water, 0.4 ml of Mammoth P, 0.2 ml of Amino Treatment, and 0.5 ml Roots Excelurator. I held off on the molasses, I think I am only going to do that every other watering. Once I start with more nutrients, I might go with molasses on the days I water without nutrients. Again, there was a good amount of runoff. Day 16 (8/1) She's going strong still. I have to leave town today and be gone until sometime tomorrow. Hopefully the watering doesn't cause any issues while I'm gone. Day 17 (8/2) Got home this afternoon and she is looking fine Day 18 (8/3) Today I'm trying my hand at some tie down LST. I'm super nervous since this is my first time and I don't want to mess her up. I'm using some plastic coated wire that bends well and holds its position. Fingers crossed. Also, it is a gorgeous day today, so the windows are staying open. In my room, the humidity has dropped to the mid 40%, so I busted out the humidifier. My tent is was too small to have the humidifier IN the tent, so I have it sitting outside the tent and the tent opened up some. We'll see if the humidity gets better Day 19 (8/4) She seems to have taken to the LST pretty well! By the evening, her top was already turned back up and her side started to bush up. So happy it worked out because it was nerve-wracking to do it for my first time. For her next watering, I will definitely be adding in some of the Drip Clean, as it is supposed to help remove excess salts. After her last watering, there was a good amount of runoff caught in a pan. The water evaporated off and there is SO MUCH SALT in the bottom! Very surprising, and definitely makes me want to use the Drip Clean from now on. Day 20 (8/5) This morning I could barely tell she was even tied down anymore. I adjusted the tie-down and moved her over some to open up more areas. Also have been attempting to tuck some of the big leaves blocking light. I mixed up a gallon of water with Drip Clean (0.4ml), Roots Excelurator (1ml), Amino Treatment (0.8ml), Multi Zen (1.5ml), and Mammoth P (0.6ml). From that gallon, I pulled 5 cups (a little over 1/4 gallon) and added 1 tablespoon molasses. I gave her the full 5 cups and there was only a small amount of run off. I watered her about an hour before the lights came back on. I have noticed some of her newest growth is very light in color at the base of growth. I don't recall if this was similar to in the past, but makes me wonder if I should add some of the Soil A & B next watering... Day 21 (8/6) I readjusted her pot this morning to have her new growths more centered under the light. I'm hoping this kicks their growth up some. Soon enough, she'll start flowering!
