Seeds+thrips

Turpman · Dec 28, 2018

Anyone ever get thrips with seeds? I'm 99% sure I have no thrips on anything else but I started some seed from two different vendors and noticed thrips on some of the seedlings. Nothing on older plants. Anyone think eggs can be on the seed? Now I'm thrip hunting damit.

Your medium or you will be the source of thrips most probably.

No, it's impossible. Anyway to cure your issue 15cc Monterey Spinosad/1 gallon water and 1-2 drops Dawn dishwashing liquid as a surfactant. I'm in hydro so I root drench them once every three days and weekly thereafter. Good luck and make certain you use that dishwashing liquid or the thrips can survive a root drench.

Thrips are a serious predator of weed plants, deal with them quickly :-)
