This week they all confirmed themselves as female! We had a major defoliation and clipped out all of the little twigs that would have never made it to the top of the canopy anyway. I may have gone a bit too hard, and the plants weren't fond of it. Thrive-YahWhey to the rescue! A foliar spray just at lights out, and poof, like magic the girls are happy again, then a good saturating watering with fermented pumpkin extract, and some Jay Plantspeaker 60%. I also added a new AC Infinity Cloudline fan to the pole closest to the humidifier, to better help move the air and humidity around the tent well. Kicked the powered intake fan up to maximize on the co2 in the "lung room"/garage. All-in-all, another week spent watching the weeds grow. Happy growing everyone!
@mlsheahan,
You are in the right place, easy to ask questions here and lots of ppl ready to answer. You got the right idea, keep reusing your soil, you got this!
20gal pot !!! Holy God. I gotta look thru your other stuff. But that's insane lol biggest I've seen yet.
Definitely following I got the room should I try this if I can ??
Best of luck on these girls . They look great!!!!
I'm back again lol.
I saw u mention a foliar spray before lights out.
Curious what exactly ur using ? I'm sry if mentioned, and why at night ?
I've always kinda kept to the no moisture at night thing. So only spray when I have them out from under the lights.
Thx again for sharing ur process!!
Since it is all organic enzymes, you can actually foliar spray Thrive while in flower. I don't, but they say you can without herm to either the consumer or the plant. However, I do add it to my soil drench watering maybe once a week at the rate of 2oz per gallon of water.
@mlsheahan, sweet , thx for the reply . Definitely going to look into it. I use a spray usually when I pull them out from under the light to feed or trim . Would be so much easier to just once or twice a week spray right as Their getting lights out. I'm using "tps-canopy boost" not sure if it's even close to what u use. I'd hav to compare now I know the name.
This stuff seems to work magic when I see alil lightness in the leaves give a spray n next day they look happy again. But I don't like to spray this that much, not at all after veg either.
Sry to ramble there. But again thx for sharing what u do, it's looking AMAZING .!!
@Grow4Releaf, regarding the part about keeping moisture down with lights out, I run multiple fans that blow directly into the canopy, and do my best to defoliate just enough to prevent leaves from laying on top of each other. I've not had problems with moisture.....yet.
@mlsheahan,
That is good stuff, pumpkin ferment really dumps a lot of juice! It is better for flowering, even to transition to flowering. Just use a very small amount of brown rice vinegar with that, balance and cleanser. Also if you strain out the juice from that pumpkin FPJ then put the solids back into glass container with 2/3 water and cover for 3 months, you will get a beautiful pumpkin vinegar, could speed it up if you add a couple tablespoons of raw vinegar with the "mother". That will help create the pH for the vinegar and get it moving faster. You will see a film on top form, that will be the SCOBY, symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. That is when you know you have kick ass vinegar. All good if not though, may just take more time.

@TheFattyMcCoy, I used a whole plant fermented pumpkin tea just this week. Plants are looking great, but I really don't know how much benefit it had provided yet. They were growing healthy and happy already.
