Been fighting bugs. GRRRRRR!!!!!

OMG king I fell out of my chair thinking the bugs were back .....no, no, no Bugs are afraid of your grow room, trust me! LOL
 
Ok folks ..I have Thrips too just passing week 5 of flower. What brand of Spinosad product? Can't find the beast but looping and microscope show tissue damage and beast poop ( dark things)
gone a tad bit ballistic!
 
"Captain Jacks Dead Bug". Also get some Food grade Diatomaceous earth. If you don't have a mister, get one. They work much better then a spray bottle.
 
Thank you folks.
One good thing: under LEDs the silver/ metallic is easier to see.
another good thing sort of: my hydro person says we are in "winter spring " here Thrips are rampant; sunny warmish, wind & breeze.
he suggested do nothing but pluck the leaves at 5 weeks into a 7-9 harvest.
so that's what I am doing. Never had this before LEDs along with no recurring inch worm
Green75
So I plucked and plucked another for the above " pluck master"
 
If you don't get it on your buds, then you will be fine. I had a Borg (spider mites ) infestation once late in flowering and sprayed the entire plant, bud and all. Talk about some harsh tasting shit. Just don't get it on your buds.
 
I just wanted to throw in another vote for Spinosad! It's pretty effective on thrips and won't affect the smell or taste of your buds, and is harmless to people and mammals. It's made of a compound found in certain bacteria, and you can use it both on your plants as a spray, or in your water when watering them to kill bugs systematically. You can find it at most garden sections (they definitely sell it at Ace Hardware, I saw it there today) though you need a mister to get the best coverage on your plants :)
