Huh! I just come on to inquire about a bug problem I just encountered myself. Seems I'm not the only one. I think I've discovered thrips. Up until now I haven't had a problem with any bugs, this is the first. What am I dealing with here? I've heard a many frustrated people around here dealing with them. That much I did catch over the many conversations that have been had here about it. Sorry I didn't pay closer attention. So how do you guys suggest I deal with them. I'm looking for an organic fix, if there is one. Cof, I know you've suggested stuff to the guys here. Can you tell me what you use again please.

Here's a pic. The damaged leaf. On the back, tiny, elongated, white bugs and tiny little black specs, line fine dirt.

I got this stuff at target for $6. It's organic and lists thrips. It didn't do dick squat for my caterpillars, or at least not instantly like I wanted but it may work for you!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. There's a lot of what you guys get that I have a hard time finding but I'll have a look around. I'm going into week 5 of flower and don't need any issues right now.

Thanks cof. As usual, not available to me, as well as the others. Sometimes sold under different names. I'll have a look around. Looks like I'm going to have to do a bit of a tear down and clean/disinfect everything. I think I might get a new soil mix happening too. Might as well. So how would you guys compare this pest problem with others like spider mites? I guess what I'm asking is, is this gonna be a bitch? Will I at least be able to control them enough to finish the flowering crop with 4 to 6 weeks left? The Deep Psychosis are affected pretty bad and they're 9 weekers I believe. I'm assuming the vegging plants should be a fair bit easier to treat? What do you think of my barrage of questions? lol Psych! Thanks in advance.

100% they are thrips mate. 2 sides of attack needed, soil and leaf attack. For soil Diatmoeaceous Earth. Sprinkle on the top of soil daily. Thrips tend to come out mid afternoon. I would use an oil (neem based, or rapeseed oil based). There are loads of organic sprays, most of them contain pyrethrin which ais an organic insecticide. COFs triple plus has it in there.

Normally insecticides work in 2 ways, they attack the nervous sytem of the bug, or they litterally make them sick (more with caterpillar insecticides) The great thing about pyrethrin is that it is biodgradable and breaks down in air and light.

I would recommend a spray in the afternoon, and then a spray at lights off. Repeat for a few days (can be up to a week).

So what you saying mate... that my Dog ain't how it should be? Whatever. ;)

Lovely shots D. That exo looks killer. Deep blue ain't too shabby either. I can never get over the Dog leaves in your garden. They are nice and dark green in mine as well, but in your garden it looks like you was them. I can just imagine you with a little can leaf wax and a cloth rubbing down each individual leaf.

Nice.

Haha! I was just going to ask if that was a common practice, then I saw this, so I guess it is. :lol:

Hey D, thanks a lot for that. The DE's gonna be a bit of a hassle I think, but I think I know a place or two to check, but the insecticide shouldn't be a problem and I'm gonna shop around today for that. It was bound to happen to me someday.

As usual, you're girls look very fine today.

Duchie, try looking online in your area. I buy my DE online from the UK, it's reasonably cheap.

haha, you read what you want into it lad.

These girls were outside for their veg time and really had some nice weather to help them along in the greenhouse. Using this evergreen conniffer mycorrhizae in my soil just keeps everything nice and green and lush.

And thanks guys.
