It will be easier to treat the plants in the smaller container. Do not transplant until you have this resolved.
You also need to inspect the underside of each leaf, not just the top.
I do inspect the bottoms I've been at this a few years just never cam across thrips till now. Thanks for your input on not transplanting. I am only worried because I have always based when I need to transplant by how tall the plant is, and didn't want to risk my babies getting rootbound.
spinosad is awesome on thrips. plants will perk up and look healthy very next day. treatment in 3 days is to get the new hatchlings. no worries transplanting.
this one will be easy and plants looking great in no time
Update, better late than never. My applications of captain jacks were successful. I am currently on day 8 of flower. here are some pics from a week before I threw them into flowering. Thanks for the help!
