You can get some spinosad and mix it in your feed/flush water as long as you have a month or so left to flush it I would still use it. Local garden stores sell some or you can buy it online.

Been. ???

I think he meant neem, I wouldn't spray anything around them in flower. Spinosad will get rid of thrips for sure and there are quite a few products that contain it like monterey garden spray or jacks dead bug flower and vegetable garden dust. You just mix some in with your regular feed water and it will kill them for sure. Thrips hide in the soil and then come out when everything is calm to feed, if you open your tent quick and look at the dirt sometimes you will see one scurrying into the dirt.
