Trips?? Mostly under leafs and really tiny

If you are able to take the plants out of room and spray them with neem oil I would recommend to go this way. It smells bad but it works like a spell. I do 2litres of lukewarm water with few drops of dishsoap and than add 2ml pure neem oil and spray every 5 days. It takes 2-3 spraying…

edit: NOT in flower obviously

I took them to the bath tub, and drenched the leaves with hand held shower wand, stripped tent and wiped down everything with bleach. bought a fogger and fogged the shit out of entire room with neem oil, It's all i had at the moment, found out that the green clean i had was expired. forgot to add the dish soap. got some spinosad coming

What would you use in flower?

Blue Sticky traps, diatomaceous earth (1/4 inch layer) on top soil, and removing thrip damaged leaves (as they may carry eggs) and checking the garden daily to hand squish any of the lil’ buggers.
This has worked well for me, Not much you can spray safely in flower.
only other safe option would be predatory insects

That all depends on how far in flower you are and how serious the infestation is. They can easily ruin the plant if they are out of hand. From my experience, you wont kill them all, especially in flower. You can control it doing what @Green_Alchemist wrote like removing lover fans which are obviously doomed, off the top fans you can remove adult thrips manually, you can wrap your stems with that thin yellow sticky tape to cut their path to the buds… Lady bugs are not effective and they piss on your plants also. you will most likely have some of them in your buds, but still better than smoking neem or other chemicals. Sometimes they just came in your medium sometimes it is your dirty environment. Better to solve the issue for every cost before the flowering starts. I see here people using citric acid as “pesticide” so maybe it can also work on thrips not affecting buds so much since it is not oil based, but this is just an idea, have not tried so not reccomending. Good luck!
