Two Queen's Banner in one 5gal pot

Forgot to add week 4, and adding week 5 later as I was on vacation. The timing of the vacation was not ideal, as I missed out an important part of the growth - the flowering stretch. I wish I could have been there to defoliate the lower branches in time, as they grew out too fast and are now quite long and lanky. I have defoliated what I could have though and will be resuming defoliation next week likely. The plant is very healthy imo, unfortunately the thrips infestation is still ongoing, though a very small part of the plant is affected. I've applied some more neem oil, but will be buying and applying spinosad as I've read it is very effective and can be used throughout flowering too. Will be scrogging the plant this week as well to better manage the massive growth. Nutrients wise - I have dropped silicon as the largest part of vegetation growth has been done, and have now started adding canna boost.
