Im about 4 weeks into flowering and I have a thrip infestation. There isnt a lot in there but I kill 1-7 each time I check the plants which is about twice a day. I know a pyrethrum based insecticide will kill them but I dont want to use it cause there in flowering. I also heard Garlic would work, has anyone ever used garlic to get rid of a thrip infestation?

Any response is welcome!

What should I do? Just continue to squash the lil ****ers?

you are only 4 weeks into flowering so as long as your pyrethrum miticide is meant for edible/consumed plants then you will be alright, plenty of time left for it to disperse.

and yes garlic does work - bu whether it is as affective as pyrethrum i do not know.

OK soo there about 5 weeks into flowering now and I opened the cabnet to check on them today and no joke their was eazly 100 of those lil fuckers. Aparently I got everything but the eggs and thought I beat them and they were gone....but they werent the eggs hatched and multiplied by like 10. I used garlic cloves, put 4 of them in their. 1 hour later I checked again and I saw all their corpses laying all over the floor and in the run off area of the plants. There were still a couple alive so i went and bought the pyrethrum based insecticide with canola oil. Wiped them out for good!!
