yes I use sulphur bombs in my greenhouse. I wouldn't bother if it were JUST thrip, the larvae are what cause the real damage if any is done and the d'earth takes care of them.

leave them and they may increase resin production? Really? then you question why it I think it was stupid, really? That is just nasty gardening and not good for anything, especially resin production.

Ive only used smoke bombs when my dog had fleas so I dont know to much about using them in your grow space. if u were gonna get bugs, thrips are the ones u would want (ofcourse no bugs if possible) they are one of the less harmful bugs compared to spider mites etc. As for higher resin production hmmm im not to sure maybe we could start a new thread for that

What, like a S.A.R. effect?

Well that's me just let off the smoke bomb so we will see what happens want rid asa if it kills most of the wee fkers will do what guy said cover the top of pots and let another one off in 5/7 days covering the pots has meant to fk up there life cycle??
Can only but try lol

brother, so I don't sound a dick, I'll just correct you, I never told him to leave them, I said minor thrip damage MIGHT actually increase resin production. Please research before comment.

I don't need to research to know that a plant infected by bugs does not make for good resin production, Please do some research of your own, telling people that crap is sounding like a dick.
before you go on with a little s.a.r bs, a plant with bugs is sick, that's why bugs attack it, it will not promote more resin.

lol why does mj produce resin?

that could be disputed. but to catch pollen,mostly

Quick question guys should I take all the damaged leafs off or just the worst of them and will they repair themselves when av killed all the wee cunts?

if they stay green leave them.Quick question guys should I take all the damaged leafs off or just the worst of them and will they repair themselves when av killed all the wee cunts?

Plants are sessile organisms, anchored to the ground through the root system for acquisition of nutrients and water, and thus are devoid of any possible avoidance mechanism to prevent injuries caused by chewing insects or larger herbivores. For defence, plants are endowed with pre‐existing physical barriers that limit damage, such as the cuticle, and hardened, woody covers that may succesfully withstand the aggression of small herbivores, or else have trichomes, thorns and other specialized organs that may further restrict pest access to the more nutritious parts of the plant. Once an injury occurs though, there is no possibility of mobilizing specialized cells devoted to wound healing such as in mammals, as plant cells are encapsulated inside rigid walls. Plants have thus evolved towards the capacity of making each cell competent for the activation of defence responses which largely depend on the transcriptional activation of specific genes. These wound‐activated responses are directed to healing of the damaged tissues and to the activation of defence mechanisms that prevent further damage. Most of the induced responses occur in a time window between a few minutes to several hours after wounding, and include the generation/release, perception and transduction of specific signals for the subsequent activation of wound‐related defence genes. Proteins encoded by those wound‐inducible genes may play one of the following functions: (i) repairing of damaged plant tissue; (ii) producing substances that inhibit growth of the predator insect, i.e. those lowering the digestibility of the plant tissue or producing a toxin; (iii) participating in the activation of wound defence signalling pathways; or (iv) adjusting plant metabolism to the imposed nutritional demands.
A localized injury activates defence mechanisms throughout the plant both in the tissues directly damaged (local response) and in the non‐wounded areas (systemic response). Whilst healing or reparation of damaged tissue is a function related to locally activated responses, herbivore deterring defences are deployed both locally and systemically. Wound‐activated local and systemic responses include metabolic changes and induction of gene expression, but only damaged tissues also undergo a severe disorder of cellular structures, associated with de‐compartmentalization and release of stored material, and a drastic loss of water. This review will focus on what is currently known about the signals that are produced and mobilized in the wounded plant, on the different transduction pathways activated by these wound signals and, finally, on the results that the activation of defence gene expression has on the injured plant. The potential and perspectives of the studies on wound signalling for the improvement of plant resistance against pests and pathogens will also be summarized. Copy and pasted 1 of many papers on this subject.

Just breezed through the post and answers but you have bugs of some type. It's a "piercing sucking insect", no I did not just make this up, google it. Not a particular insect, but a general class of dozens of bastards. Thrips, leafminers, aphids, mites and more can all cause this type of damage. They pierce, and the suck, and THEY SUCK.
Always look on the bottom of the leaves, You will most often not see these little fuckers, whatever they are, on the top side when you have lights on. And buy a magnifying glass, even a cheap one, to confirm your suspicians. The insects can be, and usually are miniscule. Too small to be seen by my aging eyes anyway.
Peace
