oh i just went down to my local garden store and got some insecticidal soap. its good for using on the plants all the way through flowerm but they are pretty much all gone by now. I found few lady bugs in my yard too and threw them in there haha i think i read that that feed on the earlier stages of thrips but is hard to remember sometimes bongsmilie :joint::bigjoint:

Well it says on the bottle that its good on fruits and flowers all the way through the plant cycle, including budding. I used it for a few weeks right around the time I switched these plants over to 12/12 and the thrips were pretty much gone after that. I got sticky traps and shit now hangin around the plants just in case haha.

Thanks dude! I saw that on the label also, But I would wash my apple and it is not absorbant...I have gotten the go ahead on this and the chrysanthemum based shit up to a couple weeks out, I will fog lightly a couple of times but not on my girl a week out. Probably use some (peppermint oil)soap in the soil also, bugs hate that shit and plants like it.

Bastards.

Oh and Paper dude I have read about screens for intake fans to keep out pests if you use intake air.

i did a poor job on my window intake (i have the dumbest basement windows) temps stay btwn 75-77 max high and 60-62 max low,but i will correct when it gets warmer here and i have to do some yard work...theres already a screen to window im worried more about other places..its mainly my cat...she an outside cat..ol'bitch!!
i remember reading something about thrips when i was trying to id my bug problem and it said something bout there also attracted to bright colors...so dont wear or have to many bright colors around garden unless of course there sticky traps

P.S. do you guys think 60f is too low of a change from 75 lights on??

thanks man, sorry to hear about your strawberrys. mine are coming out well, will be the smallest yield for sure but the buds are looking nice so far. The blueberry are from dutch passion, two of those, the other two are blueberry x northern lights, from dj short i believe? and one more skywalker since it came out so nice the first time haha. oh i planted two dozen purple wreck seeds last wee, 16 sprouted so far. ill be trying to get those setup in hydro by the time these are ready for harvest.
