What bombs you using? I've have a similar issue w/ thrips. Would'nt call it and infestation but, I do want to take care of it before flippin. I've got Doktor Doom. Little leary about blastin it off w/ a room full of girls in veg. Gonna do it though.

GT~ you sure you need to bomb the room yet? Just seems pretty harsh for the plants...

What kind-of thrips are they... color/bandings?

I've run spinosad on mites & didn't have the best of luck, but it was a soil mite, so...?

Thrips usually die w insecticidal soap (soft stuff for plants). I'll foliar w this, squash all the adults I can see, then foliar w Azatrol the next day... tops & bottoms & stems & pots/medium. Squash any you might see on a day to day basis, then repeat the soap/neem in a week. As long as you get everything, the x2 combo works well. Raise the lights w foliaring/drying & very soft on the girls. Peace.

I have used spinosad with great success battling thrips. I have used DoktorDoom in my veg room with plants in there and they took it like a champ no problems what so ever.

Bombed vegging plants three days ago w/ Doktor Doom and no problems.

Gonna do it again today to get hatchlings.

Had a problem with thrips too a short while ago, used Pyrethrum 5EC from pro grow and a bonus of being 100%certified organic. copied the next bit from the website but thats what sold it for me.

Kills thrips, spring tail, whitefly, aphids, flea beetle and caterpillars.
*this is THE most effective organic spray for the control of thrip. Anyone who has suffered with thrips will tell you what a pain they are to get rid of. At last we have found a 100% organic spray that finishes them off good and proper!
• For use on all plants, vegetables, soft fruit and ornamentals.
• Great for use in indoor or outdoor growing systems.
• Leaves no residues.
• Harvest just 24hrs from last treatment.
• Also controls Spring Tails.
• Can be used in certified organic systems.
Dilution rate: 4ml per 1ltr of water as a spray or 2ml per 5ltrs in solution for the control of springtails.

Ive used the fortefog bomb and it didnt help so now im waiting for the spinosad so i can spay the shit out of the plants plus as an added bonus its organic so it shouldnt bother the plants.
