Yea I may have killed one the other day flying above them, looked like a juvenile. So should insecticidal soap be a good choice? Or whats my best option. Its only on 3 of the 6. And I havent seen any except that one is that usual?

Im not rushing to conclusions but ill keep a close eye on them. Do you guys use any preventative foliar sprays ?

Could it possibly be genetics since its only like 2 of them. And they arent stunted at all I would say. The only two seeds that are the same genetics are basically the only ones that look like this

Put a small fan blowing on them to make the stems get stronger.

Thrips don't tend to slow down growth all that much unless they're really bad. And young plants always grow at very different rates. Clones are usually easier to grow at a consistent size. Seeds always have Champs and runts.

I have one underneath pointed at the walls oscillating surrounding them is that good enough . If i put it directly on them they look like they are in a tornado

Set it as low as you can and back it up some. They need a gentle breeze to make the stems grow strong.

Alright sounds good. I heard alot of people say it doesnt help so i decided to KISS . I just picked up the traps. Will that 100% identify if i had a pest problem?

Put the traps out and see what you catch. Until then there is no way to tell what you will discover.

that’s good for a couple days than give them more air flow.

It looks like a thrip somebody took out back and broke his legs.
Keep the fan on them to make the stems get stronger.
