Neem is good.
I hear this stuff is better-
spinosad
What do you think?

Spinosad kicks ass on thrips-the best there is it is good on caterpillars etc also and doesnt kill off the beneficial bugs if you use them safe to use also. Monterey makes a version as well.
For all the talk of neem which is good so many times it only temporarily controls the situation certainly not what I would use if I had something very serious. Fortunately I don't get many pests in a sealed hydro room.
I think what turned me off somewhat with soil in az is the lack of good top soil to blend in-alternatively store bought products including non bricked coco very often come with built in pests fungas gnats, aphids etc...and I am just not a huge fan of heavily acidic peat based mixes requiring lime to temporarily control the ph-sunshine 4 etc. I do love the idea of worms and making old school compost though.
