Thrips control
The cucumeris and the scimitus will eat wind blown pollen to stay alive. They say there's enough pollen in the air that when you open your tent enough will blow inside to feed the bugs if there's nothing else for them to eat. The scimitus will also eat spring tails, fungus gnats, and more

Where did you order the nematodes? Thanks(::weed::peace:

Fucking little cunts
They lay eggs in the soil so simply spraying the plant only wipes the current adults and in my experience damages your fan leaves edges.

I've battled them a few grows.

Research led me to learn about using beneficial insects. I tried it and will never spray for anything I don't have to again.

done and done.

For thrips, cucumeris predatory mites sachels you hang on the plant. They will eat the thrips and then when none left they eat themselves, they die out within 4 weeks tops.

2ndary is nematodes. These come in tea bags. You put them on top of your soil and water over them into the soil. They are little worms, and when the thrips feed they are ingested, the nematodes then eat them from the inside lol!

You need both as the thrips lay eggs in soil.

I'm currently battling the little cunts this grow too!

I've seen plants with mites and thrips look like they clean up completely when planted out outside... there is a whole world of competitino for them, and what is one man's thrip invasion is another bug's feast.

Hey guys, I have these pain in the ass insects In my grow. I think they are thrips, based on the image so you agree and how do you guys treat these fucks ?

I’ve been using purcrop1 on the girls who are going to be ready in a week or two. It seems to help but hasn’t remedied the issue.

On the younger girls, I’m using Bonide Sulfer. 1.5 table spoon of sulfer mixed down with 4 cups of water. I sprayed yesterday morning, left the light dimmed all the way. This morning when I checked I notice 6 fucking bugs on one of the fan leaves. I killed them all manually however I’m curious if the sulfer even works. This is my second application - I thought it wouldn’t need a second one to begin with but seeing them on the plant after soaking them yesterday is discouraging

would love some help on this one, thanks!

If your young plants are in veg or even upto weeks 2/ maybe 3 in flower spraying with garlic and a touch a dish soap in a spray bottle all over
Then take them to the shower next day wash them real good being careful of course
Clean your room as good as can be you can maybe run something through the root zone for any eggs they lay there they then hatch and start eating Sapp from leaves

for the plants ready soon just leave them you don’t want to spray anything near your buds

there not to much of an issue on production
If all your plans are in the same room then obviously just try your hardest to keep them at bay

this tent had them since veg they have not got of control to much so I have just left them to it

still stinks still good production

obviously clean up before you start again

Amblyseius cucumeris for the win! You can order them and looks like they are on sale.

But maybe for next time, as "slow to establish - 4-8 weeks under ideal conditions - meaning they are best used for prevention and low-level management of thrips infestations"

Where did you get the alchemist stout msa? How did you apply it? Thanks (: :weed: :peace:

Purchased online from the company that makes it and apply with a foliar sprayer with their recommendation. You can apply it through flower - I normally don’t but the first grow I got it for, I did. I didn’t notice a difference in the buds that were sprayed late flower.

It's not a poison, it's a bacteria. Not harmful to humans or animals. Spraying you may get a little on the outside of the buds, but as I mentioned, I've sprayed INTO the buds in the past for budworms

Outdoor Spinosad is incredibly harmful to bees, as they take the bacteria back to the colony and it causes colony collapse. BT is the better bacteria for all types of budworms. Spray during stretch at dusk 2-3 times before full flower set, and you will drastically lower budworms, also, a good bug zapper place at the fringe of the grow will get a lot of the adult cabbage moths, which is primarily the species of moth that is attacted to our plants in most climate zones. But no - spinosad is not a safe outdoor spray.

Thrips have an instar stage in the soil, if you put calcined diatomaceous earth on top of the soil it will cut the larvae to pieces as they try to emerge from the soil. It won't kill the ones on the plant (unless you dust the plant too, which I don't recommend) but it will break their life cycle. The upside of diatomaceous earth is, as it breaks down it supplies silicon to the plants.

I wanted to check up on this and been reading most of the day. It's mostly true. At certain levels that some of us might use it can be highly toxic within the first couple hours till it dries.

Why not to dust the plants ?

I successfully wiped these out in full veg of a 4x4 trellis in a 4x8 tent. Wiped out from the whole indoor garden area. Hot Shot no residue fog bomb. Did one 3 pack 3 days apart each first bomb was tents open in the room with the furnace off. The following 2 were inside the main veg tent with all the plants I had running. Gone. Not a thrip in sight. 6 months of these and gone in a week.
