Should I Continue?

I recently cleared out my flowering room, and decided yesterday that I would take one from the veg room and toss it into the flowering room. The lights went off in the flowering room for the day, and I went into the veg room to tend the other ladies when I noticed one or two thrip grubs. These little guys have been come and go for months now, and I have tried spraying my ladies with everything I have and they keep returning. I'll spray for a good 3-5 times and stop once I see them gone. It always seems like spraying my plants does more harm than the thrips, however they always return and I always catch it before it gets bad.

Should I leave the one in flowering and pray that there are no thrips left on her (even though I know she had em before)? I was hoping to get my perpetual back on cycle, and in the event this one had thrips it would be an ongoing issue, unless there is a way to treat for thrips in flowering?

Have you considered introducing some predators in there?
Fight fire with explosives...or something like that. :lol:
However, if you're later into flowering, I don't know if there is a pristine solution. There will be tradeoffs (like insect carcasses and shit in the matter).
I presume you are growing in soil, too. Is that correct? If so, you should be taking preventative measures while they are in veg.
Also, when you "cleared out" your flowering room, what sort of cleaning did you do?
Vacuum, bleach-scrub, bug-bomb, etc.?

Pop another seed or two just in case..
But ,carry- on.. try sum 'dish washing' liquid ( fairy liquid etc), put sum (not much, about 5/10mls in a spray bottle (1:5 litres) and spray lightly on affected leaves , worth a shot ..! or spray sum hydrogen peroxide in a 40/60 ratio to water and see if that does any damage to thrips.. good luck and happy growing

Most growers go thru this ...one bug or another

you need a proper defense, and an attack weapon

lol just like govts. ...lol

I use Cold pressed neem oil for defense 1x time per week

and in your case a proprietary chem used for thrips

good luck
