This may sound trite but maybe just take them outside one by one and try simply blasting the shit out of them with the hose? Then trying the dusting again after? If I recall your plants are pretty mobile.

Lol, yes, mobile. Mostly too small to “blast”. Just spraying them with spinosad made three of the JS droop. Not turning up numbers with leaf inspection. Have time and energy to stay on top of it so I am confident.

Not seeing the “blue”
Blue is the name lefty gave the vial. The names represent the three Dads from which he will choose the F4 male.
LMAO…yeah, i remembered that about the time I read this post you just made, lol.

Sprayed with citrus (Dead Skull) today. Took 10 leaves under microscope.
I found two of these. The other was dead. No thrips.
Maybe I should bag the cannabis grow and start a menagerie.

Who’s to say it’s not beneficial? I will continue IPM and remain vigilant.

One thrips tried to make a break for it across the towel. Smushed. All the leaf samples (most damaged leaf was taken) were OK under microscope.

Have I mentioned how much I hate these bags? You can’t lift them with one hand. You can’t bottom feed. They have a very specific shape that they want to keep but it’s not a regular shape.

So many people have told me I should get away from my old standard nursery pots and switch to a soft sided bag. I don’t like them either for those same reasons. Old and slightly resistant to change I guess! One Love…

He’s using something else @oleskool830. The felt type soft pots with the handles are the bomb! Self-pruning and they automatically leach any salts outta the bags! Really nice actually! Worth at least trying 1 out. lol

I imagine bottom feeding with felt is a breeze. The lifting would still be a pain. I hand water and because of these bags I have to bring each plant front and center before I can water.
Gives me a minute to commune with them so “hate” may be strong… Also single use plastic sucks.

I bought wood plant rollers at the 99 cent store. Super convenient. Bad shoulder here

I’m gonna get me some and take em on a spin around the block and see. I grow in airpots occasionally. The plants have a shit ton of roots but don’t seem to yield any more fruit. I consider advice from you to be golden so I’m gonna try it. They are cheap too! Nuttn’ but love…

Need to watch them cloth bags there designed to set and leave, handles or not.
Too much lifting on those will compact the medium which allows roots to be damaged, actually broken.
Just picking up pots and sitting them down compacts also but not as bad as cloth. Sometimes you can pick them up and can see the medium crack.

I smoked a bong hit of a male JS (Blue dad).
Was almost all leaves but I made sure to get some flower/pollen in the bowl. Did not have signature JS smell or taste. Pretty smooth for zero cure.
Moderate high 15 minutes in. Seems to have multiple shallow crests. Comming down from them seems like coming all the way down from the high but they build again, which is an interesting sensation.
