on your most current pictures I see signs of thrip damage ( if you disagree , so be it I’m just trying to evaluate and give ya a tip before it’s too late on a pest issue, just trying to help)
as a suggestion for IPM :
spinosad (makes their muscles spasm to death or become a zombie ) as your knockout ( and switch for knockout since limited times per cycle = pyganic 5.0/than apply nematode via foliar and drench to kill the larvae-adult and in your medium And all leafs (eats em alive from the inside )
the key with buying nematodes is buying direct from good sources not for example hydro stores or amazon, reason = the sensitivity to temperature and mistreating it through its storage can be a factor of complete death and 100% alive Cause they can survive in a fridge for months And a proper wholesaler will send via 1-2 day shipping and make sure it’s even cold enough with dry ice.
adult and pupal stages of western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis): on leaf and medium + kills fungus gnat larvae

i would always suggest evergreen for your live bugs/nematodes over any other company and their tech support and expertise is AA+
1st knockout = spinosad (brand I recommend is def conserve sc/entrust sc) , reason = it’s 22x stronger than captain jacks and ultra cheap and super good shelf life . That stuff is worth every buck and it can fuck up many pest, just read the manual like any pesticide or IPM and you’ll get it np. Key is right rate and not over using is per cycle.
2nd knockout would be xc pyrethrum(+ kills and defends 150+ pest) the reason I suggest evegreen 5.o vs pyganic 5.o is because it’s 100% the same thing, even same company who makes it. What’s the reason = 3x cheaper for “ not certified organics label “ but there’s q00% nothing differnet added or different but the labeling . I would rather pay 50 bucks vs 150 bucks
