Try Nuke 'Em, as directed for the mites and thrips. It's quite safe (acetic acid). Your nematodes will take care of fungus gnats within about 2 weeks. I have no idea what those other critters are, but if they're in the soil, nematodes might bother them a lot, too.I am 1 week into flower with 1 big plant and 3 clones. I noticed damage on the leaves on 1 shoot of the big plant (green crack). I examined the leaves and found mites, also found a couple adult thrips on the leaves. I had other stunting growth which I attributed to fungus gnats that I found. I treated them with nematodes last night and found the others today. The infestation is not horrible yet, but I know it can be pretty fast. I cut off the effected leaves and put 4 good fans in there. I was planning on wiping the leaves with an alcohol water mixture tonight and topping the soil with dietemateous earth. Then I was going to order something with Neem or pyrethrum and treating the plants every couple days for a week or so. Is this a good plan? People advise foggers but my tent is in a 1 bedroom apartment and I can't really bomb the place. I would rather get something sprayable that I could take the plants outside and then put them back in the tent. If anyone has any advice or products I would appreciate any help.
Thanks. Just bought a big bottle from Amazon. Will treat it next week, hopefully what I did slows them down till it gets here. I probably will spray it occasionally as a prevention thing too.Unless it's a beneficial that I put in my grow,

Hmmm you may be right. These plants spent about 2 week outdoors while I was on vacation. Will never bring a plant from outside inside again. I saw a picture of the life cycle of springtails and their pupa stage is very similar to them.The other bugs look like spring tails
