I would suggest riding it out at week 6. But if it’s that bad green cleaner can be sprayed up to the day of harvest.

What bugs are they? There are some biological insecticides, but spraying flowers is never a good practice. Other option would be introducing predators.

A quick google search would yield some results on beneficial predators (I think Evergreen and Arbico are fairly reputable). I get all mine from our supplier. I would suggest Orius insidiosus and cucumeris as primary predators for thrips. I'm in the midwest and spring brought in more thrips than we have ever seen. Normally they are just a nuisance, this year they were causing a good bit of flower/pistil damage. Haven't had an issue at the tail end of the season, however.

That being said, at week 6 there won't be much time to combat them. You can release Orius to help keep them at bay, but at this point cucumeris probably wont be too beneficial.
