Anything you can do to keep your grow clean, and prevent further infestation will help.

Google "thrips grow cannabis".

The only way I finally got rid of them was using an air freshener type of insect killer.
Left it in front of my circulating fan for a few hours every few days...mission accomplished.
Can't recall the brand, but I'll dig it out if you need it...

No problem getting this into Europe...where it is banned. I put it up for a couple of hours now and then for fungus gnats. But mainly keep it stored in a sealed plastic container..

HA! I use the same thing for prevention. I figure I would get booed for suggesting it.

I just hang it in the same room away from the grow boxes.

It beats spraying a dozen plants several times, with limited success at times.
It's chemical death for sure, but a couple of hours exposure a couple of times and everyone left alive is happy.

Monterey garden insect spray will take care of them quickly. I wouldnt scrap the grow they're easy to get rid of.

To far into flower to start spraying I the plants ... 4 weeks left. Just going to finish it as is then bleach the fuck out of the room ... But def will pick up some Monterey

Depends on how close you are to finish flower. If fresh clones, I cut and start over, but if in flower, I'd flower the out them out first, and clean the grow very well, and then start over from seed.
Thrips suck, but other than the occasional flier getting caught in the trichomes, it's no big deal. I wash my buds after I cut anyway. Still smokes the same, but the plants full potential on growth might not be reached.

Thrips does suck! I treated mine with a neem oil solution sprayed on the plants right after lights go out. Repeat daily for about a week and they should be gone.

 

[Chris323]

Ya going to finish this grown then bleach the shit out of the room and start over .. Only way to be sure I guess

 

[butterbudface]

show some pictures, its not necessary to start over, i had quite the infestation and neem oil fixed it in a week. The chewed up leaves don't recover but all the new growth is good....
