Never flush a plant in soil. You can't flush the nutes out of the soil, and it will make the plant worse...way worse...
Finally, its a grow..

Thanks! The plant is on 18/6 and has been since day 1. Im not looking for the worlds best results. Just presentable herb if u catch my drift. I would add another plant but it doesn't seem worth while since I am using CFLs. For my next grow I will look into hps lights but we will see

thanks! I'm never discouraged, just starting to realize that there is always something u can do to make results better. I think my only problem now is temps, but I'm not going to go get a portable a/c unit to solve that problem for one plant.

What is the temp in the grow area? Heat will cause droopy leafs as well.

CFL's to the touch are about 100^f. I have a fan blowing up(hopefully away from the plants). As far as I am aware, the temp is about 90 degrees. I know this is too hot, with that said, does it harm the plant?

I was afraid it was a heat problem as to why the leaves were curling but its nutes. She needed water today so I added a lil more perlite and watered with a lil too much water to flush it out for a second. 22 fl of water

Day 22:
She looked bigger after we got home! Today we feed with just water and since i added the last perlite in it, watering every 3 days or so is right. Temps get a lil hot, bordering 90's during the heat of the day but i think all is well.

cool thanks! temps average at about 86 so i think were golden there.. A/c is kept on most of the day but while we were gone it was just chillen in its own heat.
We stopped using nutes.. which is a bummer with how $$ they were. Any suggestions to boost her up? and when should we use the nutes? I'm dying to use tiger bloom once its time. I think in a week or so Ill try hitting it with a 1/8 serving of nutes but we'll see.
Any suggestions?

As long as air flow is good and the strain can handle slightly higher temps you will be fine. Keep it up.

I'm really curious about LST. I'm down to do it but my girl likes watching the plant get tall and grow.. I know an answer is impossible, but about how much more would I expect? Extra 10 grams? I'm shooting for 1oz as is.

Should I add more lights for veg? I have 136 watts overhead. I plan on vegging for 2 weeks longer max.. Should I move lights to the side? Or just hold tight until I flower and add 6 more lights around the sides?
