Fucking harsh reading up on this thread pal

i've never seen one on resin before so i assume they avoid buds altogether. it's always the shaded fan leafs they choose to munch on unlike spider mites that love to climb and spin a web from the top down.

there are worse things than the odd thrip in things you have smoked in the past be sure of that,

 

[exodus0408]

ive still got almost 7 weeks till harvest do u think they will be ok till then? its the same for me m8 its the thought of them in my plants and that i might end up smoking a few of them thats putting me off lol, but if they dont fuck the plants too much and wont severely damage my yield then i'd happily let them go this time as its mostly for sale anyway and when i chop i'd disinfect both tents and all equipment to eradicate the problem

Well a litre of plant v+ will cost you £12.50
Prythren costs you £10.99
32ml of floramite + 4ml of avid will cost you £21.99 but floramite dilutes at 1m per litre of water so you've 32 litres and avid is diluted at 0.25ml per litre of water so you've 48 litres of the most powerful stuff on the market which should last you well over a year !!

yeah but right now i dont have £22 to be buying that so ideally im looking for something cheap & cheerful that will do the job for now and when i get this grow done i'll get the place cleaned down and will have cash then to buy a better insecticide incase of future problems

 

[exodus0408]

I'd use something that is tried and tested gary you want to be killing them with 1 or 2 applications or it ll turn into an expensive thing to control.

Gaz, I get thrips on a regular basis,(joys of growing outside in sheds), I've grown for 15 years, & the best spray I found wich will work & keep them at bay untill flowers finished, is from B&Q , it's in a litre yellow plastic bottle . £8 if I remember right, use as directed for tomatoes . I will run down shed & look up name in a bit. They will prob return next veg , but a quick spray & alls good for a season .

 

[Garybhoy11]

cheers cherpy, if u cud stick up the name or a pic of the bottle that wud be great i can jump over to b&q 2morro

I can still get the metal bottled Plant Vitality stuff that they banned, my local has old stock under the counter just for the lads.

 

[ghb]

good stuff yorkie, it does what it says on the tin sort of thing, i don't have many bees in my growroom so i won't feel too guilty.
