Hello my friend For me it's trhips A real headache, especially if the plants come from cuttings. This tiny insect moves very quickly, so we must act quickly to avoid giving it time to cause much damage. To prevent his arrival, you can spray Neem oil or black soap from time to time, but if he's already in action, we'll have to roll up our sleeves.👊 sYMPTOMS A good way to ensure that the crop is infested with thrips is to roll out yellow tape along the crop, as some insects will stick to it. You can also discover them if you notice silver marks on the surface of the leaves, sometimes accompanied by dots, which are the stool. Another indicator is the brittle appearance of the leaves, as the thrips sucks the chlorophyll without getting bored. Treatment Spraying again black soap or Neem oil is always useful to eradicate the pest, provided that the flowering process has not started yet. If it has already started, it is better to introduce predators, such as wasps or orius. These species are immune to the fungus "Verticillium lecanii" often contained in organic insecticides used against thrips, so we can spray in addition.👍 Good luck for your grow May the force be with you💪
