Grow Nation 2023 Gelato OGK MC

OK so it's been a little over a week since my last update. Since then one of my plants has reached 2 feet. Now ordinarily I would be happy to flip to flower. But I've found small signs of a thrip infestation. Not to worry I have Two treatments one the go. First is a need oil spray with 1 Liter of water 2ml of dish soap and 5ml of Neem. Shake it up and spray on top and under neath your. I've had thrips before and usually 1 treatment will do. I am also using diatamscus earth on my base stem in the soil. I will be applying this regularly throughout the week since when it gets wet it is useless. Thankfully the tub of it I bought was really cheap. I really don't want to over veg but it looks like 1 more Neem treatment and the flip happens which should be a week. Along with defoliation of infected leaves I should pull through. Other than said bugs the grow has gone fairly smoothly.
