never seen thrips until these clones… buddy told me he had some ipm nute burn on them, but no pests… i didnt even need a loupe or scope to see them wiggling… gave em a bath of dr zymes last nite, and have been spraying frequently. also hit them with some water with hydrogen peroxide, and gave the soil a soak. keeping them quarantined. may just breed them and keep em seperated from the grow.

Theips go through many life stages, some of them are in the soil and some of them are inside the plant. A systemic product like spinosad will set you right. I get them almost every summer during out “monsoon” season.

So my friend that gave me the clones is a little salty I threw them away. Thrip infestation was so bad, new larvae are hatching. After being soaked and sprayed and soaked and sprayed. His grow is a commercial op, and its fully infested now. Some people like to roll the dice, but with the 45 being of quality genetics, I won’t.

Thank you my friend. They are really starting to take off and hit their stride now. Just introduced grow nutrients. Half get cutting edge solutions, over half get botanicare. Wanted to do a side by side to see which direction I go for my next run.

that is truly the only way for you to be sure in your setup :slight_smile:

grow well and be safe

I really hate thrips

Yeah pests are horrible man i just got mites at the last 2 weeks of flower from my last harvest… My wife brought in some outdoor decorative plants so they wouldnt die… Put them on the floor next to my flower tent🤦 noticed it the next day but it was too late and by the time i harvested them fucks made a nice lil spot in the back :triumph::rage: had to bleach everything and spray my mothers twice a week since its almost been a month. I think im clear at this point though… Good luck with the thrips i just use monterey spinosad spray to take care of em.

ive sprayed and drenched 3 days in a row and im still noticing them here and there. i put down stickys everywhere as well. now im spraying ever other day like the instructions say… I have some exile i can mix up and drench with but want to give the bt mont time to do its thing.

Dont overdue it and stress you plants too much man

10 4. Thanks for the advice. I followed the bottle instructions. Will def cut back. My buddys grow must have a major infestation bc I have tons, and were only near the others for maybe 1 minute.

todays an off day for the bt. flipped a leaf on a bigger plant to find tons of thrips… went ahead and gave them a squish a light rub from a finger i dipped in my bt dilution. seems like the problems getting worse, rather than better. fml

or your environment is perfect for them to multiply :frowning:
