3x Strawberry Pie Auto (Fastbuds420)

25/07 They are getting to the third node coming up so i'm thinking if should i top it or not since without topping height might turn into an issue but with topping lateral space might be the issue. 26/07 All given 333 ml water + 20 ml nutrient solution. 27/07 They are drinking way more water, am gonna have to reduce watering intervals. 28/07 Paper towel placed on top of the soil with a hole in the middle to make the water go into the middle straight down and thru the sides making the mostly wet on the bottom and the sides of the pot, lets see if the roots will move towards the wettest spots. All given 420 ml water with traces of nutrients, those being 0.42ml/l of "more roots"; 0.4ml/l of "humic acid plus"; 0.08ml/l of "organic grow". About 30min after watering i removed the paper towels covering the soil and as i did so i found a major population of thrips trying to break free to come out and catch a breath, they are still close to larvae stage but i have ordered some measures to take against this developing society since they are not welcome. I never had this sort of issues and the farming spots in my propriety have no sign of this pest being around, its limited to my grow tent and the timing and stage of growth of these lil guys leads me to belive they came with "CBG New Mix 2.0 soil". Guess who's gonna go back to using his farm's soil.... this guy! 30/07 Update incoming...
