So you are advising product, but you feel uncomfortable to give the dosage since it can cause leaf damage? Thrips are not so difficult to batlle if you catch them early in veg, but they are tough once you have them so hard on full flower. They are probably all over the room, inside the buds, pots, on the lights just everywhere. Leaf damage is huge together with some minor damage from feeding. Now its time to blast them with citric acid, which may kill some part of thrips, but it also do damage to the leaves and even more to the calyxes and pistils. And next week you can do it again and again until harvest? Because I do not see it working after one or two sprayings. I am not saying citric does not work, but it is not cure for everything in every case. I would be really curious how this ends up. As I said, I think they will herm or throw shitload of nanners sooner or later. Yeah I know that somebody does not care about seeds in his buds, but there are people who do care!
