So my plants are about to be done in about 3 weeks but I’m growing out door in southern Cali an I’m seeing lots of thrips or the damage they leave sorta like a shiny or white looking stuff on the leaves an lots of black dots . My question is can I use garden insect spray or will it damage/burn my buds

How does the plant look overall? If your only 3 weeks away and the plant is healthy, I'd ride it out. Thrips don't seem to wreak as much havoc as something like spider mites.

@GrassBurner overall looks an smells great I jus noticed that a few leaves were infected but there is those few that were covered pretty bad with what thrips leave behind I haven’t really noticed any live ones or maybe there just to small to see for me

Yeah they're tricky fuckers to spot sometimes. Look like tiny grains of rice. The ones i usually see are orange.

You can use citric acid in flower.. 2-3 tsp qt water.. Just wash your harvest..

Spinosad is absolutely fine in flower and works well. Just don't use it with in 2 weeks of harvest.
