Crystal candy fast version

Everything seems to be going ok.im still battling thrips.im seeing much less but they are straight up relentless and very wack.i used oxygenated r.o. water as always and i had a ppm of around 620.they are still pretty short and stalky so im hoping for some stretch soon.it would probably help if i stop plucking leaves off to get the inner branches light.im trying to get an even canopy.im definitely done with defoliation for a couple weeks.
