Thanks for the post SmokeAron....... although I suspect you were high when you said "too acidic add vinegar if too base add lemon juice". They are both acids. But you did help because I forgot to mention a few things like temp. I'm indoors, and the plant is pretty much out in the open in the corner of my living room. So temp has been as low as 68, as high as 80. On to week three:

on 5/10, I switched to a much bigger pot (8.5" diameter), and buried about an inch of the stem in the new Scott's soil. The Scott's potting soil says
"continuous feeding for up to 4 months!" which kind of worried me, but it didn't say anything about time release. At this point, I had been reading this forum for a solid two weeks. I had flushed a day before the transplant, so I waited until 5/12 and watered her real well again. She started to droop, probably from a bit of over watering. Let her dry out for 4 days, even put the clay pot on the stove on low heat until the bottom inch of the pot was warm. I didn't worry about doing this since I knew the roots were no where near the bottom since I just transplanted. This seem to help it dry out, and she started to really grow during week 4. At this point I also trimmed off the lower leaves... the first true leaves that come up after the
cotyledons. They were very pale, but not quite a yellow color, and the edges were burnt. I let them dry for two days, microwaved them to give them a crunch and smoked them, knowing full well that this would do nothing for me. But it was good for my psyche. Still no weed.

During week three I also started taking off an hour of light each day to get to a 12/12 cycle. I was reading Spittn4cash's Grow Journal #5 and decided to switch. I don't want a huge plant, just one that produces.

I also started to relax about whether she was actually a female. Either way this is good practice.

One more detail... I don't exactly keep her in complete darkness at night. I have a 50 watt incandescent about 20 feet away that I sometimes use for general lighting. Plants see the moon at night yet they still make it. I don't know why people think they're plant is going to be super stressed if they have a light leak in their grow closet. Maybe I just didn't read enough on the subject and that is something I should change? Well no matter where I put it, she won't be able to get total darkness from 8-12 because the lady I share this place with needs to see shit when she's walking about. She doesn't mind the plant, but forcing her to walk around in darkness after 8 might not make her so tolerant.
