First Grow

8/26 - Did more defoliation. This will be one of the last times I do this task before flipping to flower. I want to remove anything that isn't going to give me decent buds and then flip to flower in 2 weeks. 8/27 - Not much to update here. Tucked some leaves and did some general inspecting. Not time to water yet. 8/28 - Again a small update - I watered today with CalMag and Tree Trunk as described in this weeks additive details. I watered about 1 gallon per plant. After watering, I mixed up 1 gallon of the same water with CalMag and Tree Trunk in it with 1tsp/g of Real Growers Recharge. I aerated this using airstones and an airpump for about an hour, and then added 12oz of this mixture to each of the plants. 8/29 - Man, these plants just LOVE Real Growers Recharge when they get watered. They look very full, healthy and happy today. I'm seeing some signs that the thrips might be coming back - most of the DE dust is gone. I will spray tonight with Dr. Zymes Eliminator at the "elimination" dose of 1/2 cup per gallon of water. 8/30 - Plants responded very well to the Dr. Zymes treatment! Not time to water yet, but I suspect within the next 4 days. 8/31 - Just did a little defoliation today. Opening up the canopy for better airflow and allowing light to get to the lower branches and bud sites. 9/1 - Same yesterday as today. Everyone is looking great! I think I will spray one more time with Captain Jack's Deadbug (Spinosad) and perhaps another spray of Dr. Zymes as a form of IPM before flowering.
