Knew they were going to need watering before 7 days since it had been a hair dryer weather week with temps in the mid to upper 80's and wind. Got out there yesterday evening as it was just cooling down.
Before watering, I weeded the plot again using leather gloves to wipe off the small seedlings. Works really well when weeds are young, but you have to be very careful not to break the stems on the herb plants. Thankfully they were pretty flexible still. As they mature, they get stronger stems and which makes it easier to weed. Once the canopy closes, weeds aren't really an issue, and you can sit under the shade and cool down when doing inspections.
Everything looked like it was growing well! No critter damage except I have frogs.
There was a frog that jumped out of the roots of one of the Sativa Candy Chunk Med. Indica plants! I saw one last weekend when was watering. I have never had frogs burrowing in my plot before. Must be the dry weather and they're looking for moisture. He was covered in growing media being a sticky frog, it was really funny. Tried to get a pic, but he ran off. Should have got out the spotlight. I saw him later last evening when I was done watering, so I have a buddy now!
Going out to check the plot and make sure the plants are all still standing. I usually don't have to use stakes, only when necessary. Works well just to use some soil to support the base. The plants are able to stand themselves up somewhat when they see the sun.
Plants are starting to show a little bit of character now! Stick around for a few shots in the sun. See how they perked up after the water. Will be ready to fertilize again in a couple weeks!

Frog burrow-- no harm done. Frog is a beneficial if he eats pests!
