Azomite and pyrethrum makes these lil fuckers laugh, take a bite of your new growth, and shit everywhere. Repeat.


Next up is pyrethrin. Gonna get my temps up to induce hatching and hit em every other day until they look like they cant take anymore lol.

Any suggestions? Known derivatives that works well?

Ill probably take cuttings, bleach bath, and root.. then clean my room out and just cull shit. Need to keep 3 strains though so any knowledgeable input appreciated.

Cucumeris will be a last resort.



Anyone ever spray straight up bleach water on your plant?

10:1 water:bleach?

If I get the clones cleaned and the mothers dont improve ill be treating with a flame throwers.

Havent had thrips in my garden since 2008 :/

The only way I got rid of them was to use a HotShot NoPest strip. During lights out I'd turn the exhaust fan way down, put the strip inside the 4x4 tent and let it remain 4-6 hours. I did that every couple of nights for a couple weeks, catching the entire lifecycle. I kept the strip in a zip lock bag when not in use.

I haven't seen one since last September. (Be sure to turn your exhaust fan back up.).

Actually thrips don't even exist. All of the damage attributed to thrips is caused by very small mice.

Not a local product. I picked up a vial of Spinosad. Gonna give the 3 week treatment and let the bennies do their thing.

Any product with SPINOSAD as the ingredient.

I use MONTERAY GARDEN INSECT SPRAY and I have mine shipped from the USA to the UK Whenever I need it.

Good call man. I literally bought a vial of pure spinosad on monday. Will be using after I run my sulfur burner for 8 hours just to see the effect it has

Was hoping my pyrethrum & pyrethryn I had in stock woulda worked, but these lil thrips must have been designed by Monsanto!

Co2 at 5000 ppm wil kill most oxygen breathing animals and bugs. But do it every three days because it doesn't kill eggs..

I dont run co2 from a bottle otherwise id do this rather than sulfur.

Sulfur candle works on mites so Iwould think it works on thrips. Ill let ya'll know.

Spinosad is the ticket as far as sprays go from what I've gathered so I should be in the clear. Sulfur will be for fun

Ditto. Been 8 years with no thrips* then I bring a random bag of store bought soil and BAM


Edit. After 3 weeks of the spinosad if I find even a single thrip, im cloning, moving veg, and detoxing flower area

One dayvafyer initial treatment I have not found a single healthy thrip. 99% are dead that I see on leaves, and the ones living are disoriented ans lethargic.

Didn't have time to stick around to burn sulfur so that experiment will have to wait (hopefully a longlong time)

Spinosad is the shit

What are the extents of your trials?

8 hour burn time in an enclosed room?

Kinda moot now but I would think high amounts of sulfur would suffocate most bugs :)
