More pics. Now that I think about i May have sprayed this with a compost tea at lights on. Just ewc and some dem microbes in small both watered down. This was a week or so before I flipped. Not sure if that caused the yellow spots?

My gut is some bugs + nute issues. I have some Monterey garden control which supposedly can be used in early flower. So I have some spinosad that I can use now..

I’ve tried to use de and got powder everywhere. Do you wet it first before applying? EDIT: or after?

Looks like you're already a few weeks into flower already. I've never used DE before and I, personally, wouldn't apply anything at this point. It's not 100% sure that you have thrips or mites and you could alter the quality of your buds by applying pesticides and undesirable chemicals. Again, this is just my personal opinion so you can do what you think is necessary. I'm gonna stay out of this one haha.

I hit the plant with spinosad. Will do again in a week. I lightly sprayed all my soil. My lastest batch of soil is roots organic with a little bit of neem meal in the soil..could it be the roots organic comes with thrips?

Praying Mantises will eat flies, beetles, aphids, moths and more, they aren't picky. They can grow to up 6 inches long and make a great addition to your garden. Your local nursery most likely will stock these insects in the spring as gardeners begin their seasonal gardens. Praying Mantis is the only insect that has a head that is able to rotate a full 180 degrees, which helps them seek out their prey from all angles. The female praying mantis will spin an egg case in the fall to overwinter her eggs, it looks similar to a dried fig. In spring, warm weather brings the hatching of 100 to 200 newborn praying mantises, known as nymphs. It’s a fascinating thing to watch hundreds of ladybugs being released, or witnessing a praying mantis egg case hatch up to 200 nymphs at one time. If you can’t find these beneficials at your local nursery, many online companies will ship directly to you.

will let you know if they work. I'm going to have to get rid of a bunch of them. will just release them outside and save a couple. If they start eating the plant i'll get rid of them.
