I have not defoliate them yet, but intend to do so. I will be buying some ladybug and sticky traps the first thing in the morning. Do you have any idea if thrips affect the yield a lot?Not going to beat around the bush here. For me that would be about a 7/10 bad. I also don't spray insecticides or anything I only use sticky traps and some beneficials. Have you defoliated your plant yet? If not now might be a good time to do so. I would try to take the worst of it off and leaves the rest but monitor. Squish those bastards if you see them!
Thanks for the tip, I will try to find Spinosad. I am mostly concerned at how much will my yield be affected. I have not idea if the damage my plants sustained are to the point of making it impossible to have a good yield and hard nugs. I know this might be really subjective, but if I were to discover that my harvest would be of poor quality, I would rather just start a new grow again.That is super easy to treat right now. The product to use is Spinosad, it is not an insecticide but a form of bacteria. Dow makes the best one and one use it all it takes. The stuff at HD works but they will come back. The dow version is like 22 or 23 times as much bacteria. If you do it now before the buds form you will be fine. You only have about 3 or 4 days before bud sites will start to form.
You can salvage that grow with good results if you jump on it like today. Once you get a full blown infestation they will lower your yield and consume all the energy the plant uses for budsThanks for the tip, I will try to find Spinosad.

Fuck, is seems like my case is that bad...Too late for ladybugs unless you have thousands.
You have to address the situation immediately and with results.
As soon as my grow shop opens, I will be there.You can salvage that grow with good results if you jump on it like today. Once you get a full blown infestation they will lower your yield and consume all the energy the plant uses for buds
The stuff on the leaves does not really come off. Just get the product with the highest concentration of the active ingredient. It is a bacteria not an insecticide. You might have better luck at the garden store that the hydro store. Plus the guys at the hydro store will try and sell you the wrong stuff.Fuck, is seems like my case is that bad...

Another concern I have is with the silvery "thingy" that thrips leave on the leafs. How do I clean it? I read it can cause fungus

Yes the Spinosad just kills them off.@Anthem seems like my growshop doesn't have Spinosad, would Pyrethrins be okay or is there some reason on why I should try to find Spinosad specifically?
Just use the Spinosad and be done with them Predatory Mites are for people with large grows, money to spend and cannot take a chance on anything.In the future especially early on or if you plan on having mother rooms and don't want to spray, I would suggest cucumeris or stratiolaelaps to control the thrips along with weekly defoliation (mainly on mother plants). Also the sticky traps don't really prevent them they more so detect them.
I thought you said you treated for Aphids?I treated my plant with a diy for thrips and it burnt the leaves. Grab the spinosad as anthem said and fix it correctly the 1st time. Im gonna grab some tomorrow as i seen another thrip yesterday.
Do you have any experience with Pyrethrins? I am searching for Spinosad in every grow store or garden store in my city and just can't find it.Just use the Spinosad and be done with them Predatory Mites are for people with large grows, money to spend and cannot take a chance on anything.
That is what I intend to do. I just hope that I can get a good harvest out of this somehow.Blue sticky traps for thrips. Should be at every grow shop.
Also fruit fly traps (or a vinegar and dawn solution in a small bowl) at the base of the stem seem to help control them.
Your window to spray the plants down without stressing yourself out is closing. A spinosad dousing after a minor defol should be your first step.
