Mephisto Double Grape root/veg Earthbox

Stretched out her arms today for better airflow. She’s getting thick and sticky and smelling delicious. Did some defoliation around the flower sites. Trying to be minimal but still learning. Defoliation has proven to be rather difficult for me to do well. But practice makes perfect. Been battling fungus gnats for a couple of weeks now, nearly under control. I think they came in with the castings or compost I bought about then. I’ve applied mosquito bits to the top and they’re working, slowly. It’s only a problem in this container. I also ordered mustard seed meal from buildasoil and will use that on my next grow. Which I’m already planning of course. I think there’s still a few weeks left with this one but ultimately the trichomes will tell.
