Hello guys and girls. I have a thrips issue and I'm not sure how to get rid of them. My baby is in week 6 of flower. The thrips I've found this far aren't big at all. They look like babies. Any tips on how to get rid of them?
Thank you very much. I'm going to pick up some at the hydro store.Sticky thing , short version , go to plant shop , amazon or home depot, get the sticky glue paper cards ( roach /mouse traps ), hang them all around and place them on your container tops...
Thrips will jump around and get stuck on paper , you will kill 50 to 100 in a few days
Be careful ,they are sticky as hell, 75 %chance you will arrange them around and kill half your bud and get stuck to every other damn thing in the house....
Maybe forget about it....and finish up you grow , then throw away all organic material and clean the area like a hospital..
Smoking a few thrips never hurt anyone i know...
Yeah I've been in a, sticky situation that with them before.be really careful ,they are sticky as f#%k !
Thanks! I was actually wondering which one I should get.Hey Moegsien
I Work at a Hydroponic store and have seen this a million times over!
Please what ever you do, do not use and product with oil or spinsad in it! There are going to be in final product.
I would highly recommend an alcohol based product or an essential oil based product, but nothing with heavy oils like soybean, canola, grapeseed.
And potassium salt based or potassium soap based products will work great because it absorbs into ur plant as an actual nutrient source without leaving and residue.
Also if you happen to get the sticky traps make sure you get the BLUE ones, otherwise you will just be wasting your money. Thrips are drawn to the color so you will stick a hell of a lot more of them!
Also if you happen to run CO2 you could just bump up the ppm rate to 1800-2000ppm and that will sufficate them to death.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
P.S. make sure you get rid of them quick because thrips can actually eat away gardens, seeing that your in your key stages of flowers you want to limit the most amount of stress to your plants.
Thankss man! Appreciate the tip.Lower temperatures and higher humidity can help to control a thrip population, but it will not kill them. Obviously be careful of raising your humidity level too much this late in flower. Good luck with your pest problem and finishing flowering! Positive vibes...

And just a question on co2 since you mentioned it. When is it necessary for one to run co2. I'm not currently running co2. I had of these co2 table I used for a while but it proved too tedious to maintain.
Thanks again for the help!
Wrong, yellow will catch 3 times more thrips.Hey Moegsien
