I have thripes in one of my tents, in late flower so hard to spray withNeem, seems under control more so in my veg and seedling tents.Looks like bugs are at work.....
Only a few leaves are affected, so it's not systemic. Plus it looks like bug damage. I see them everywhere. I think I'm paranoid.
They do spend part of their life in the soil. I think they have 4 growth stages, at one of them, they will drop to the soil and transform into their next form. I've found spinosad will kill them on contact and it can be used into flower. If you alternate it with bt (another bacteria that kills them), you can probably knock them down in plenty of time to harvest. Every 2 days, drench leaves and soil with one, then alternate to the other.I have thripes in one of my tents, in late flower so hard to spray withNeem, seems under control more so in my veg and seedling tents.
what do you think of ladybugs as a remedy? (I don’t seem to be able to get them away after cleaning everything and starting over , maybe it’s the soil?)
