First grow so have no expectations, but giving her the extra weeks of veg should boost the yield. Tied her down some more today to make the main colas even with the new growth on the inside, that's basically name of the game right now for me.
I'm just hoping I can have a little ready for some July 4th fireworks . .

I accidentally vegged an extra month on my first grow (don't ask lol). By the time I caught it and put them back into flower there was a huge difference in growth. Almost more than the tent could handle. Your patience should pay you off big time!

3rd day of flower and I can see the gainz from the 'stretch'. Now the scary part - I am going on a vacation for a week starting tomorrow night with a non-grower to watch her. I am going to have her water once while I am gone and possibly raise the lights to keep her at 15-18 inches from the light.
. --> me the entire trip haha
I think you should have waited until you was about to walk out the door to water. And also could go ahead and move your light up a few inches to insure she doesn't get to hot. That way you know things are good while gone, even tho you have a sitter. Hope you enjoy your trip brother.

Have your friend water on day 4. And hopefully make sure they have seen how you water and how much. But you shouldn't have any problems.

So I was watering every 4 days, but the pot was so light after 3 days that I watered her yesterday and will water again walking out the door tomorrow. Then she will water 4 days after to give her time to dry out.
Plant has arguably been under watered vs over watered and is in a fabric pot which helps avoid over watering.

I water using a funnel actually - she is so dense and low to the soil that you can't get in the sides & watering via the top would get water everywhere so stick the funnel in the top and the tip nearly touches the soil.Have your friend water on day 4. And hopefully make sure they have seen how you water and how much. But you shouldn't have any problems.

I use a 2 gallon weed sprayer with the wand tip removed. I can poke around pretty well with that and measure as I go.

Came back from my week away and......
Is it normal to have visible trichomes 10 days from 12/12? More than thrilled thus far - have "high" hopes . .

Could have a problem & looking for insight/help. Came back from work and have unhappy, droopy leaves. Up until now has been thriving, but some of the leaves are limp like I can lift it up and falls right back down.
I haven't watered in 3 days (normal for me up until this point) and is due a nutrient dose, but wondering if I shouldn't give it straight water instead. Runoff has always been in the 6.5 - 7.5 range, temps have been a little lower recently (around 77).
Two hypothesis - I've been aggressive with my General Organics nutrients (full strength to slightly over) and could have a nutrient build-up or I did a decent trimming 3 days ago (~10%-15%).
So do nutrients feeding or just straight water? It is NOT overwatering as I water every 3 days only 1 gallon and is in a fabric pot.

I'd put my money on your overfeeding. Cut back on the nutes and just give her water this time and maybe next.
