spinosad!!! Up to 10 days before harvest is safe and it’s organic. Screw Neem in flower, that stinky oil will get into your bud and can make it taste disgusting. I know people swear by the stuff, but it doesn’t deter even a flea in my garden.

So do leaf miners!! Everytime the grass gets mowed I get a few leaf miner filled leaves. Ugh! Fortunately, they do less damage than thrips

Actually, Spinosad may be used as a soil drench to kill insects/larva in grow medium, like thrips/larvae, leaf miner larvae, ect…

You are right! I was told a couple years ago it kills beneficials. I just read it doesnt…its non systemic (wont enter the plant and move freely) and can be used as a soil drench.
Learn something new everyday… yay!
If you would have said that i would have not been re-edumacated thanks…appreciated!!
On roll it up someone posted 2 tbsp foliar 4 tbsp for soil drench. Does that sound right?

A few years ago I read that thrips if the infestation gets bad enuff can cause leaves to lose 25% or more in chlorophyl production…crazy!!
Now im sure thats in extreme cases…hey bud i think theres eggs on the leaves…
I really do need to start an ipm. grow is in a bedroom inside a tent, and I’ve definitely mowed the lawn a few times this year.
Hey thanks @Meesh @DesertGrown thats some good info.

The most critical objective a grower has when any kind of plant damage or insects are noticed, is to identify the issue and find the cause as quickly as possible and come up with a plan of attack.
At first glance, I thought it looked like a leaf hopper. They have a similar look to thrips at certain stages of their life cycles and do the same type of leaf damage. They’re easily treatable, like thrips.
