Aaargh! First battle with bugs

The PBB and Wagyu Donutz were harvested last week, the BOO and PNWHP are still going, another week and they should be done. All things considered they are looking ok. I figured I’d throw up a few pictures, I haven’t sprayed again and don’t see any thrips or new damage, but I’m sure there are still some and they will spread again if left unchecked. I’ll harvest these and clean up the room before starting back up. Here’s the BOO, she’s looking rough but will make it to harvest, and the buds are super frosty, the orange smell is really up front.

Yes, but thrip damage is a little less uniform, sometimes with small streaks. Google some pics of thrip and spider mite damage, the difference is subtle, but noticeable. Best way is to look under the leaves, and look for the bug.
found this on the first look left < Spider mites, right > thrips

Thrips. I get them almost every grow. Drench twice with Spinosad.

[edit]

The thrips that I've had were small enough to hide under the "spine" of the leaf. I used the "trich checking" loupe to look on the bottoms of the leaves.

The first sign was light splotches and a leathery or stiff feel to the leaf. Then I check the undersides and that's when the I can see the "honey" spots.

After a few infestations, I've caught them early and I just grab the Spinosad bottle, turn it to "stream" and empty ~⅓

You eventually just "Lie back and think of England" and order a bottle of concentrate. ;-)
