So i fed a half dosage of the bloom nutes today 3/4 of a gallon as i have been since i started the 5 gal buckets. i have found at 3/4 i do not have so much run off. as stated b4 i skipped the mid week watering cause the soil was still damp around 5 inches or so down.

i didnt add any type of gravel for drainage at the bottom that mistake will never happen again. i was thinking maybe lava rocks? suggestions always appreciated.

She looked a little depressed today. i may have went a day or two too long without water. also i had a temp spike up to 87 degrees. i really felt like i needed to let the soil dry out more than normal. i think i have a fear of ruining her at this point. Also moving my T8s down has seemed to have made the undergrowth have a bit of a comeback.

here are some pics as always.
