First Time Grower: BF Acapulco Gold

(3.13.22) Watered each plant 2.75L of Nutrient Mix @ 6.7ph and 1263ppm Plant 1 runoff water measured at 6.5ph and 1426ppm Plant 2 runoff water measured at 6.6ph and 1296ppm Had to cut on the heat in the house again, as a result humidity levels decreased pretty significantly. Plant 1 temp between 63-70f, RH between 35-56% Plant 2 temp between 63-70f, RH between 37-62% (3.16.22) Watered each plant 2.75L of PH'd water @ 6.6ph Plant 1 runoff @ 6.1ph - 1177ppm Plant 2 runoff @ 6.3ph - 940ppm Today, 10 minutes before lights out, I sprayed the bottom of both plants with Doctor Zymes. I've been sporadically spraying a leaf here or there for the last couple of weeks to test how the plant would react. Everything seems to be alright, but I've still been hesitant about drenching my plant with a spray. However, I have noticed some bottom leaves with shiny spots on them, looks almost like dried spit. Doing research, some people say this is thrips, others say you're just helicopter parenting your plants. Looking at thrip damage pictures, I don't think that's what I have. Haven't really done any IPM up until this point, so I might as well begin sometime. Will spray elsewhere on the plant after seeing how this first large spray on the underside goes. (3.17.22) Now that it's getting warmer I'm no longer running heat in the house. Combined with the fact it was raining today, the RH in the tents are approaching 60%. Moved little dehumidifier into the tents. Close to lights out I found some concerning bottom leaves. Not sure if the Doctor Zymes affected these leaves, or if I had just not noticed them. Tomorrow I will defoliate underneath some more, removing any more concerning leaves and any sucker buds. Will try to defol. mid and larger top leaves that are blocking, but I'm super hesitant about defol. in general and this late into flower I'm nervous. But it's something I probably should have done sooner, and I'm hoping it will help limit RH. (3.18.22) Watered each plant 2.75L of nutrient mix @ 6.7ph, 1147ppm Plant 1 runoff @ 6.6ph - 1727ppm Plant 2 runoff @ 6.6ph - 1270ppm Did defol. Mostly focused on bottom growth that was never going to get ANY light. There's still some a bit higher up that I didn't take off, still look like suckers but I don't want to take everything off. Took some upper fans here and there that were obviously blocking budsites or laying DIRECTLY on other leaves. There's still so much in this tent, lots touching, but if I attempted to remove everything that was touching I would probably stress or stunt the plant at this point. I guess I'm in for the ride at this point.
