Yes, I had some things flying around so I doused them with DE...They are in 5 gallon pots so they will go two weeks without water...it is also a good source of silicates as well. <Bonus!

What do you mean 2 weeks without water?

 

[18B]

Yes...they are in veg...organic soil, water only...5 gallon pots...day 12 no water since adding DE...it's why I said you need to sub irrigate....to keep the DE dry...cuts them to shreds.

K guys I have a serious problem I think my leaves started getting dots on them so I looked at them closer now there is tiny like white bugs in this tent wtf are they and how do I get rid of them View attachment 59492 View attachment 59494 View attachment 59495 and yup my other tent has it too

Theyre thrips and you can kill them with spinosad and safe soap. You can pick up spinosad sprays at home depot or grow store pretty cheap.

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

If you want to be thorough yeah. As @18B mentioned they have a two week life cycle. The spinosad spray will kill the adults and nymphs while the DE should prevent the next round from emerging. It actually gets spread across the surface of your medium.

Just like I said, since your already flowering try and keep the spinosad off the actual buds.... or wash your buds at harvest. It's natural but it is toxic

You can also try just the DE. The adults will die in a couple weeks and the DE should prevent more from hatching. I hate thrips so much

You guys beat me to it. I should have keep reading, lol.

Cheers

I wouldn't use that indoors myself. It's pretty gnarly stuff. And I definitely wouldn't let it touch the buds. I have no idea if it will harm your plants either. My only experience with Malathion is seeing it applied in commercial ag and they wouldn't let people in the fields for a while after the spray. In the long run its your call but I'd wait for the spinosad and DE myself. As I said, thrips aren't going to kill your garden so don't feel like you have to do something tonight.

Don’t stress too much man, you got this. Don’t use the Malathion inside, it reeks and has bad cancer causing chemicls in it.
You can make a insect soap with this stuff, it’s super cheap and works.

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

Dawn dish soap will kill soft body insects like thrips. Wont kill the eggs i don't think but if you want to get a jump start on treatment. Just add a like a teaspoon of dish soap to a quart of water, spray plants and let it dry. Then just spray off the soapy residue a few hours later.

The soap hardens and kind of suffocate the bugs. Add in a little hot sauce and garlic for a little extra kick.

Then when spinosad comes use that. But I'd suggest at least two treatment methods to avoid the pest building a resistance to any 1 chemical.

Thanks guys your help is much appreciated

County ticket tester even with thrips still looks good lol
