Week 2!

After navigating a tricky first week due to a power outage, she finished strong and I’m looking for that to continue this week. If all goes well, she will get topped next week.

Day 8: Becoming concerned with how much her leaves are drooping. Not sure if it could be from over or under watering, but something is up.

Day 9: She was very droopy at the start of today. Gave 32oz of water. I’ll wait and see if she perks up. 12hrs later she is no longer droopy! I must have been under watering.

Day 10: Droopy again to start today. Gave another 32oz of water. No longer droopy 12hrs later. She was perky up until lights out, then droopy 2hrs into her dark period.

Day 11: Droopy again to start today. Why does it take 12hrs to perk up after lights come back on? Does she need more light? Lowered it to 18” but no change and too hot. Moved it back up. Is the pot still dry in spots? Gave 64oz of water.

Day 12: Droopy again to start today. Gave another 64oz of water. The entire substrate should now be dampened throughout. I’ll hold off on watering again for a bit.

Day 13: No water today. Keeping a close eye on the drooping. I really don’t think I’m overwatering nor under watering, so maybe I shouldn’t worry. She looks very healthy. :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 14: Top inch of soil was mostly dry at the start of today. Gave 96oz of water. Noticed she was leaning to one side. Packed the soil around the base to help hold her straight.

Overall, I’m very happy with the progress this week. I was stressing because it takes her a while to perk up again after the lights come back on. However, she seems perfectly healthy and the rate of growth is excellent, so I won’t worry about that anymore. She is on her 5th node already and has a mild scent that smells like sweet fruit! :blush:

Thanks again for following along on my first grow! Happy growing!
