Lavender works in flower and as long as you have good air circulation you can spray flowers........it might be your opinion not to spray flowers but not fact as I have treated many outbreaks, mine and other's grow ops in late flower with lavender.Lavender is a natural fungicide which helps prevent mold as well.Lights off, good air circulation and all will be fine.

Like the essential oil stuff you get at the health nut store?

ime, thrips pretty much stay put, and mites move around. when you first noticed them, what were they doing?

Yup I get my Lavender at gnc........and have a rosemary bush to make my own rosemary oil.

what does the top of the leaf look like. (pic?) if there are oblong shaped white spots all over those are thrips. I am guessing that is what you have too. Leaf damage on top says quite a bit to tell us either way. Spinosad (monterey garden spray) will decimate thrips. Sometimes even mites.

FYI, in early stages thrips can fool you into thinking mites. except that spider mite treatments do not work on thrips...

I snapped a couple more pics. These buggers and still out here and moving about! I see one moving and several dead, every time I check them.

Guess I have to say goodbye to my clone/veg tent, wait until these flower, have a waiting period and clean everything extra well? ...If I do this will I be okay for my future runs?

I have just been spraying undersides of the leaves, I tip the whole plant over and spray the bottom of everything.
They are big, maybe 4/5feet tall. Not sure if they would fit in a garbage can, and I don't have access to c02/pump.

I may be picking up lavender tomorrow, just been using a soap/water mix for now. Do you think I will be able to finish flowering these (maybe 4 or 5 weeks left!!!!!) At worst I'd be okay if I can use them for concentrates, but I really was hoping for good quality meds.


....please tell me those little spots under the leaves are not eggs... (or I am going to flip out!!!!) My room (where I sleep is close by), am I in any danger? Will they go to my bed?

Yup those be mites and yes those are eggs.......get lavender asap and you wont have to get rid of anything.....spraying lavender will kill both eggs and mites and as long as you keep spraying your weekly preventatives you wont have to worry about them.I alternate with lavender,neem, and rosemary oil for preventatives.Also spray on top of leaves and all your growing equipment/area with the lavender solution.
