And here is the answer and I wanted to post this because I found that they now have it (or have and I was blind) at Homer Depot!! $15.95 and it WILL work.

Monterey Spinosad Organic Garden Insect Spray

It will say Monterey Organic Garden Spray, OMRI cert, "contains Spinosad"....

If you have thrips, this will work.

First do a foliar application on all plants. This will kill them in about a day. Do another application in about 2 days this will kill the larvae, then in another 2-3 for remaining eggs. I usually just do 1-2 and get the results desired. Had thrips twice, killed em twice in a day each time....and those that know how bad a real thrip attack can be in a day to two days time know why having this on hand can do wonder!!!

If you would like to buy the concentrate and dilute- you will get much more for the money but the concentrate is only available online... cheapest is here at $23/quart..

I love this stuff. At 1 % it's super mild and you need to actually get it on the mite or whatever but it really works. After the second app everything is gone.

If you have a place that carries Monterey's line of stuff they have some good products. They have a sodium bicarbonate concentrate powder- which is good if you want to make a product equally as good as green cure for a fraction of the price. And they have or had a product called Monterey Aliette which was effective with downy mildew (active ingredient aluminum tris o-ethyl phosphonate).

Can this stuff be used 3 weeks into flowering? Dealing with thrips right now as we speak.

Just as a precaution to other SoCal growers: our local mutated two-spot mites (Tetranychus urticae) are completely resistant to Spinosad, Pyrethrins, and Abamectin. In fact, nearly all acaricides tend to lose their effectiveness if not properly rotated with other poisons.

Here is an interesting link about the relationship between heavy-applications of Spinosad and the effect on the two-spotted mite: http://www.springerlink.com/content/888n30h425623q21/

I find Spinosad to be very beneficial, but the smell takes some getting used to...

Im currentlu using Sucrashield made from sugars from the tabacco leaf its organic and really has a very faint smell you can barely smell anything really. I applied it last night for thrips and I have found very few today. I am three weeks into flowering and was worried about applying anything to my girls but this stuff seems to be good safe stuff and it was recomended by a buddy who swears by this stuff.

Anyone have experience with Sucrashield?
