Are these Thrips?

Mine are 3 months into veg, 6 of them, I don't think there is any saving them. I'm going to take garbage bags and put them over the tops of the plants then tip them over, tie the bags shut and put them in the dumpster. I got some bleach spray and ill be cleaning everything top to bottom.

I have some clones in the other room, little ones, ive found a few mites on those but i kill them whenever i see them, it's easy because they are so small. Do you think I need to get rid of the clones and start from scratch there too? Or should i be ok with the clones?

Any other advice about cleaning would be very helpful, this girl has a lot of work to do today, damnit. I just want to cry, it's so frusterating.

Once you finished the cleaning part id look into diatomacious earth and sprinkle it all over your plant completely dust your plant if in veg make sure you get everything i mean everything this is an organic method and kills mites aphids earwigs etc. Use food grade because this stuff is used for cakes as well so its safe to digest then water your plants as usual and keep at it with neem oil might as well fight for what you worked so hard for best of luck and this is just my method I usually dust and predip cuttings from the get go not worth the destruction much love keep on growing :bigjoint:

When you get mites/thrips, its best to just clean the entire house. Cleaning only the grow rooms is pretty much cutting it reallll close. What worked the last time i had two dotted borg was a thorough house bleach down, THEN start the treatments. i use azamax(IF SEVERE, THEY WILL BE BACK IN A FEW DAYS), then hit em with sns217, then i kill off the rest of the crowd with mighty wash and continue neem preventitives in veg. shut the lights off and dont face the fan towards them if neem/rosemary oil is applied. As DR sais, switch up the treatment so the hatchlings get hit hard too. Then switch up the treatment again so the mites wont even double look to jump back on the plants, after this a second house bleach down followed by preventitive neeming on all veg plants before going into flower. Also,keep your grower friends and they're plants out of your room without inspection. If your in early flower you will end up fighting them till the end, or spraying crazy shit on flowers unless you use no pest strips and read the warnings!
