Thanks for the replies. I’m in Ontario what is a good spray for it while in the budding process. I’ve been growing for 15 years and first time running into a problem

will eat the lavy and really young stage thrips in the soil .. doesn't eat adults tho, neem oil sprayed, you can use neem flour to kill the soil lavy as well .. 12% n 15 amino acids and other good stuff as well as a natural pesticide








buy some sachets of pred mites and put them around your garden or compost .. my thrips come from my worm casting bin i think.













I think u can breed pred mites all year round in a box and leave it in your garden/room etc etc ... i'm looking into it atm

"" Sachets contain 2 types of mites: the predatory mites (Cucumeris or Swirskii)and “food mites” that the Cucumeris/Swirskii prey on while in the sachet (providing a self-renewing food source so you get repeated generations of predators from the sachet). ""


you can feed the pred mites on 'food mites'

So what I’m told since the plants are in week 5-6 and budding is to do cinnamon mixed with water treatment. I tbs of cinnamon and water then filtered into a spray bottle Is it really safe thing to do
