Yes... Aways.
And this is what baffles me... This cultivar is from a HOT climate, much hotter than mine. Good thoughts though. Always looking for a fresh set of eyes... So, thank you.

Extra perlite increases air retention in your soil. It also helps with drainage.And now this!!!
So, yesterday I was gone all morning running errands and going to my physical therapy place for my back pain. Because it was nice and cool with heavy overcast, I wasn't too worried about my Wild Lady. During lunch at home, the sun pops out, so I poke my head outside and this is what I saw:
Even though the soil felt moist, with my finger down into the soil to the second knuckle, I knew that this HAAAS to be due to a lack of water, so I watered her immediately, but not too heavily and went inside. 15 mins later she looked like this:
And here's what she looks like this morning with no additional watering:
And here's the rest of the sativa girls still looking good with no watering for days:
So... what I'm thinking now is that the Wild Lady might not like all the extra perlite in her soil. If this is true, I'll have to water her far more often than what I would consider normal. Hmmm
I have now watered all plants with a full watering this morning.
Everyone... P-L-E-A-S-E chime in with whatever you feel may help... Thank you!

I fully agree. And this has always been the reason why I use so much perlite. I have a 55 gallon food-grade plastic drum full of RO water, so I'm not afraid of watering them. It's just that I have never had a cultivar behave like this. Very different, for me anyway.Extra perlite increases air retention in your soil. It also helps with drainage.
All good things for your roots.
So you may need to water more often until she fills those holes with roots.
Especially with the amount of sun and heat you get there
Stay safe

but it was only a whopping 67ºf... LOL! 
So, I have concerns for the future with this one. I'll certainly be ready with MonoSilicic Acid (bioavailable silica). This is the very same stuff that saved my Cream & Cheese CBD girl back in 2021.
And a big thank you, to you and to everybody who participated here in helping me.
No clay soil here. So I agree, it would be very difficult to over water a plant that's in the ground.
Thank you for this link.
Nice to confirm just how safe this stuff is.Yes @Fenderbender , this very well could be... as the owner of the Hydro Shop is getting old and forgetful. I've discovered him getting mixed up on a number of things, and giving very different advice than before, as in being confused rather than giving updated info. The man is never sober anymore.
Thank you for the confirmation on this... very appreciated.
I got some Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Soap just now too@Sierra Natural Science makes excellent pest control that you can use up until harvest. I also have used Dr. Bonner’s Castile soap. CL

No I do not...
Hmmm, but the ground is plenty moist. I watered-in my own potting soil mix into the 26"w by 18" deep hole too.8 days as of today.
77ºf today and warmer tomorrow. Overnight coolness of low to mid 50's seems to perk her up by early morning, so I don't know.
No. I'm not sure how to do this. I think it's been nearly 2 weeks since I used any of that though. Do you recommend washing off the oil all this time later?
Right now, it's mainly black scale. I've seen a few thrips too. I've contacted SNS to inquire what's effective on these and they recommend their PC product to kill them, and Systemica as a preventative. Samples are being sent to me too.
@Fenderbender... These are good ideas! Yes
No, not yet. But will be.
I've done this before in my regular garden on the family farm, and it certainly helps. Here in my location, it's much hotter and the good bugs seem to be far and few between... and the bad bugs seem to love this heat... like demons in hell or something.
I'd wash it off before spraying with anything else. The Dr B's would probably help there to emulsify the residue which you can then rinse off with a hose...at sunset.
