if your watering period is remaining at 1 week, something is wrong. You should be building more roots every time you move through a wet/dry cycle and the plant should be sucking up water at a furious rate by now. The time between waterings should have been steadily dropping each time, until you settle in at the designed rate of 1 day per gallon size of your container at the point you go to bloom. Your anemic uptake rate tells me that something is still not right with your roots, but that isn't surprising since it takes about 3 full wet/dry cycles to repair roots and then they need to grow a bit more from that point. You have barely given it 2 weeks... and nothing happens that fast in the plant world.
Be patient, don't be in a hurry to go into bloom with plants still on the mend, and it will happen.
Every 3 days, give the big slow on a small misting of water, no more than would seep in about 2 inches deep... just to keep the plants metabolism going strong. Don't give a lot... and still wait for the plant to use all of the water in the bottom of the container before fully watering again, but that little squirt might help things move along a little quicker. I failed to mention this last little trick, not realizing how damaged your plants really were. Like I said, be patient and stay the course... this plant will respond soon.
