Anything you can do to keep your grow clean, and prevent further infestation will help.

Google "thrips grow cannabis".

The only way I finally got rid of them was using an air freshener type of insect killer.
Left it in front of my circulating fan for a few hours every few days...mission accomplished.
Can't recall the brand, but I'll dig it out if you need it...

HA! I use the same thing for prevention. I figure I would get booed for suggesting it.

I just hang it in the same room away from the grow boxes.

It beats spraying a dozen plants several times, with limited success at times.
It's chemical death for sure, but a couple of hours exposure a couple of times and everyone left alive is happy.

Depends on how close you are to finish flower. If fresh clones, I cut and start over, but if in flower, I'd flower the out them out first, and clean the grow very well, and then start over from seed.
Thrips suck, but other than the occasional flier getting caught in the trichomes, it's no big deal. I wash my buds after I cut anyway. Still smokes the same, but the plants full potential on growth might not be reached.

Thrips does suck! I treated mine with a neem oil solution sprayed on the plants right after lights go out. Repeat daily for about a week and they should be gone.
