first bug issue just going to document what I'm using to help others. Any tips feel free to comment. So I've had the thrips for a few months tried using neem oil to control the population to some benefit but they would just come back. I started noticing the larvae in the soil and my plants was starting to yellow and lose vigor , went to the hydro store locally and purchased Aza max after some research, I'm using as a foliage spray and in my feeding, so far my plants are bouncing back in color and growing normally again been using for 3 days today

Spinosad worked for me, just bought the concentrate because it loses its effectiveness after diluted quickly. Sprayed 3 weekend ago every 2 days for 8 days to kill the new hatches. Have not seen one since the last spray.

I tried several things with some luck but finally tried spinosad. I had a bad infestation. One spray and all were gone. Was going to spray again but it's 3 weeks later and no signs at all. All is good.

Next time I'll have to try that the Azamax worked after about 2 weeks it was a pretty bad infestation. I had them in the soil and on the leaves in both my flower and veg rooms. Now I don't even see one on the leaves or any larvae on the soil. Used recommended one water on one off then one more time seemed to do the trick !

Thrips are the fucking worst lol

I have a minor infestation. My 4 plants are about 2 1/2 feet tall. i neem oiled them twice, 3 days ago and 4 days before that. haven't seen that many recently. Foliage damage is decreasing or has stopped. I shook the plants today with a white piece of paper under them and got about 5 per plant (first time I've tried that. Read it somewhere.) Got some lady bugs cheap to finish the job. Not sure if I should neem one more time before I unleash the lady bugs. What do you all think?
