I keep them in check when necessary by just blasting the hell out of the plant with water! If you’re in a climate where you can do that without risking mold! Some of the best weed I’ve ever grown was the result of a thrip infestation! Really triggers the plants Defense mechanisms! Good luck with it!

I'm in probably the hottest and dryest part of the US Been running a humidifier some days just to reach 40%. How late into flower do you give them showers? I did that for the plant I put a picture up as it's got em worse and is currently in a solo cup and not flowing. lol

Showers? I don't water the whole plant. I try to keep it dry at all stages both indoors and outdoors (greenhouse). I'll admit it sounds a bit different being that a plant needs water to live. I try to keep the water off the plant when I'm watering. I water slowly until I see run-off (fabric pots). From my experience outdoors, wet plants can start fungal issues. Your climate is different though. I'm in one of the wettest areas of the country.

Sorry! I thought you were outdoors! If it’s a small plant, you can probably secure the medium, flip it upside down, and submerge it in water in a bucket! Just the canopy! I have taken plants in full flower in seven or 10 gallon pots and submerge them in 50 gallon garbage cans full of water for a half hour! Plant didn’t blink an eye! Was totally dry within an hour! Just for the fuck of it!

What Old Chucky said, spray under the leaves with water and knock them off, they can't stand water.
