First Grow

8/12 - Finished LST on all 8 branches of each plant today. Within hours they were already growing outwards! I sprayed with Spinosad again tonight 5 minutes after lights out. 8/13 - Leaves are looking better today regarding the thrips issue. I will continue to treat with Spinosad every other day for about a week. I also have Dr. Zymes if I want to give that a try too. I did more LST today on all of the plants, really perfected the shape and angle of each branch to allow the most light penetration. I used to be very sure I would SCROG these plants, but I'm wondering if I will have the space/need to. 2 of them are already 2 feet wide at the lowest branch, so I may be able to adequately fill the tent without the SCROG. Soil is still kinda wet from the watering on 8/11 + the larger 5 gallon pots. I will likely wait an additional 24-48 hours from today before watering again. 8/14 - Soil is still wet. Waiting to water. 8/15 - Soil is STILL wet at the plants aren't asking for water so I'm going to wait! I dusted the plants with a nice dusting of DE to make sure I've nipped the thrips and any other pests in the bud! 8/16 - Wow. Soil still wet. Plants are happy. Even with the DE dust on them, no signs of stress. In fact, they're looking better than ever. I did some more LST today too. 8/17 - Soil Still Wet. Did some more LST. 8/18 - Soil Still Wet. Did some more LST.
