StalCair

Hello StalCair, i understand your concerns. I had an invasion of hubndreds of thrips a few weeks ago. I threw 3% hydrogen peroxiode mixed with 2 parts of water into my medium too kill them from down under, and then i sprayed deltam bioquant on the stems to kill the ones on the plant. 1 day later there were none to be found still to this day. So i recommend you act quick and kill them as quickly as you can. Also in higher tempretures there lifecycle is shorter. I hope this was an helpfull answer. Keep on growing my friend. Peace :+1:

Those buds are massive brother.

With soaps, coverage is very important as it does not stay on your plant for long, so follow-up applications may be necessary. Although this is considered safe, avoid getting any on your buds! So basically turn off all fans if you have any. Then cover buds with plastic sandwich bag spray infected leaves. Take sandwich bag off immediately after. This is the best option other than doing nothing letting it ride out

She looks like she's coming along nicely. Dealing with insects is just part of the hazards of growing outdoors.

Kill those thrips. You have a couple of choices I see a few pistils showing so shes about to start blooming. You have time to use some insecticidal soap/water mixture just follow the instructions for mixing it. Be sure to get the whole plant under the leaves the stems and soil surface this will kill the adults and small larvae. Don't keep her in the sunlight until she's dried off to keep the leaves from burning. If there's just a few you maybe got lucky before they lay eggs but do a follow up spray about 12 to 14 days later. It's soap so you can always spray your plants off later with a ultra fine spray from a hose nozzle to wash off the soap residue. Also add some yellow sticky traps they like the color yellow. Next choice would be Azamax which is stronger but lingers longer. I would only recommend this for use in veg not bloom.
