Spider Farmer Spooky Bonsai Bonanza

Aggressive battle against thrips this week. Defoliated affected leaves and caught about 60 thrips in 24 hours on yellow sticky traps. Treated with Lost Coast plant therapy 5ml:500ml H2O via foliar spray drench before lights out, then dusting of diatomaceous earth over soil and leaves the following morning. Let that sit on the plant for 3 days, then another Lost Coast treatment. Today, a few affected leaves left but have clearly knocked the thrip populations down. Will spray Lost Coast again tonight, then another 3 days of diatomaceous earth, and hopefully one last Lost Coast treatment after that and with a little luck can stay thrip-free for flower. Last veg nute feeding today, flipped to 12/12 light. Some minor low-stress training to level canopy started a few days ago. Will implement the SCROG net again once stretch begins. (Update: My prize from the Halloween @spiderfarmer contest arrived this week! Didn't get any replies to my messages asking about it, but it just showed up via Purolator one morning after 5 weeks. Ordered a new 4x4 tent since the se7000 is too big for my 3x3 and still waiting for that to arrive but reorganized the grow room to make space in the mean time. Also bought a new 16" oscillating fan from Hurricane to hopefully improve air circulation and reduce the change of powdery mildew.) (Edit: I have been having lots of problems posting photos to my diary which is why I haven't updated in a while. Tech support finally fixed posting so I was able to make this entry, but I tried another week and the same problem has returned! Hoping they can get it working so I can bring everyone up to date as I am now 4 weeks into flowering.)
