My First Grow

Week 6 Day 36 (8/21) Well I guess she is officially in flowering mode. More and more pistils are popping up. She is very thick and dense, makes me want to prune her some. I'm nervous to try it much, but I did pull some fan leaves that were deep and dying. I've been working hard on leaf tucking, especially some of the big fan leaves. I have an oscillating fan blowing on her for most of the day, which makes it hard to keep some of the leaves tucked. She's still going strong, I haven't adjusted any ties for awhile and she's still doing some vertical growth. This last feeding I did 75% strength nutes (flower week 1), might try bumping it up a bit next time I mix some up. I still have about a half gallon of the last mix left, she'll get that this week. Her next watering will be just water, drip clean, Mammoth P, and some molasses. Day 37 (8/22) She is standing tall today! She seems like she grew an inch overnight! When I got home, her pot was a little light so I gave her a drink. 1/2 gallon of water with Mammoth P (0.3mL) and some Drip Clean (0.2mL). Watered her up and there was just a little runoff. Day 38 (8/23) It's getting hot out again and I'm having to put in a lot of effort to keep her cool. Today wasn't bad but it's supposed to be blazing all week. She's still shooting up, making room for them buds to come in. Day 39 (8/24) It's going to be another hot one today. I'll be at school all day so I'm pretty nervous for her. I'll be on my wife's butt all day to check her temps and make sure she's good. Her moisture was okay this morning but I'm thinking I might have to feed her later today. Day 40 (8/25) Ugh, it's another hot one today. Last night when I got home from classes she was pretty dry and light in weight, so I gave her the rest of the Flower Week 1 feeding I had mixed up, about 1/2 a gallon. There was no runoff, so I'm going to have to bump up her amount. With the weather and her size, I'm having to water about every 2 days. She still seems to be creeping upwards and those pistils are starting to pop. Really wishing I had done better LST, half of her is shooting up tall and the other half is content to stay short. I've had to raise my light up some to keep up, trying to maintain about 15" above. Day 41 (8/26) Still battling heat this week, but have been able to keep her under 82F at most. Have plenty of fans going and have the AC blowing directly into the tent. If it gets too hot, I put a frozen freezer pack in front of at fan and it helps to cool her off. She was a little light this morning so she may need some water later today. Day 42 (8/26) Rounding out the week, she's still going strong. Her pistils are popping and she's starting to get a little thick around them. Last night when I got home, her upper parts were pretty droopy. Checking the pot, she was pretty dry so I mixed up a gallon of water, some Mammoth P (0.6mL), Drip Clean (0.4mL), and molasses (1 Tbsp). I let it sit overnight because I didn't want to water her right before her dark cycle. This morning I watered her and am hoping that gets rid of the drooping. Between taking the time to water this morning and waking up a little late, I rushed out without getting my daily morning pic. Probably for the best because she was looking a little pathetic. Tonight she is just as pathetic, if not worse. Idk if it's the heat or what, but her tallest growths are droopy as hell. I posted on autoflower.net and am waiting to see what they say. I also think I'm seeing some more brown spots appearing, possibly dealing with more magnesium deficiency. Probably because I am only just now getting to full strength on the nutrients. Her next watering is a feeding, so I might add a little epsom salt to it.
