Hey Stumped,
Man your stuff looks good. Glad no trouble with drought scare. Are you doing the veg with cfl lights?
I moved my thermometer into shadow under the table my carbon filter sits on as you suggested. Temps shown as 9 degrees cooler and humidity 48. Digital thermometer must be right. Just hotter in direct light. Mercury thermometer in top tent corner is still high but I understand that, it's 20 years old and up in the heat. Also flushed and the reservoir, it must have been nearly dry. That plant could suck up near 40 ounces during the day. The shark tooth rolling of the fan leaves also straightened out. Not completely but it is hardly noticeable now. It must have been a sort of drought scare with mine too. Just filling the rez started making visual changes. I'm going to be more watchful from now on. After all, you can't over water a hempy. Or can you?
I am getting my next bucket ready. I will use a remote wired digital aquarium thermometer and have it in the rez under the net bag of perlite. Then I will have an idea of what the rez temps are. The rez in the new bucket is about a gallon. The drilled hole is still 2" from bottom of the bucket. Things are looking up and I am feeling much better.
Thanks for your suggestions. You're a Pal. Had others helping KingJohnC, LA and Spimp. For a newbie it sure is nice here to have so many stepping up to give help and calming messages to a knuckle head like myself. Thanks guys.

Yup I use cfl for veg. 2x 42watt and 4x 23watt bulbs.
I don't think u can over water Hempy. Hell I tried and tried to over water my 2 gallon soil pots, just wouldn't happen plant stayed perkey. Under watering makes the plant look limp, I think all that really happened..... Was slight paranoia. Nothing wrong with that, better safe then sorry. Probably got slightly too warm for her is all. Glad its looking good now!
Kingjohn I think suggested to me about temp readings. You have 2 temps to watch. Ambient room temp and canopy temp. My canopy temp gets up to 35c but room temp never goes above 27 for me.
Wish my big bud seeds would hurry up and grow. Love the look of indica plants, my pineapple is a hybrid big time and after reading more on genetics , pk isn't a 50/50 sativa indica. Its more like 60/40 or 70/30 on the sativa side. Leaf structure has no overlapping leaves, slender leaf blades. Compared to many 50/50 hybrids there leaves usually touch or over lap somewhat in structure.
And that got me thinking. If this pk is more sativa.... Why is it done in 8 weeks? Or do I not know what a amber trics look like? Lol this harvest. I'll try my best to get closeup shots of trics.. I said try lol
Decided to change up my feeding schedule. Sunday - feed, Tuesday - h2o + molasses, Thursday - h2o.
Of course everything will be pH adjusted before watering between 6.3 and 6.7.
