Dammit, I hope not. I got a rooted clone from a friend who had thrips but he washed it well and said he hadn’t seen any thrips for 2 weeks before bringing it to me. It is in the same tent. I constantly look under leaves for thrips but maybe I am missing them. If I have thrips this will be my first pest problem and I have plants flowering in a different tent in the same room. ugh.
The thrip damage on his plants didn’t look like that first photo at all, but it did look like that second photo.
