I don't aim at the buds but it's fine to use during flower from what I've gathered. Is gone in a couple days.

Those sound more like springtails. Any pics?

That's the exact opposite of what I tend to do.

I take multiple approaches in veg if I have even a glimpse of thrips. I'll hit with an oil based spray, something like Lost Coast Plant Therapy, then the next day hit it with some spinosad, then repeat that process again one more time. Then I will usually release some predators a week later. If I see thrips in flower, I usually just try to hold on for the ride, and use citric acid sparingly on infested leaves only, then hit the entire room hard after harvest, and also follow up with predators.

The middle phase of them looks like that before they get wings but I spot all of them on leaves. Not under pot. Yea maybe that's springtails and whatever they just eat dead stuff

Oh my thrips don't fuck with the blue traps either. Only getting them on yellow ones.

Oh I fucked up and meant the citric for what's in flower.

Pic is hard to see. And for some reason I can't zoom. Looks kinda like springtails though. Do they jump when you touch them?
yeah sorry taken on iphone
... they seem to jump so fast it's like they disappear just on their own without touching....i tried to zoom after i posted and it worked....

Those are springtails. There're beneficial. They call them springtails because their tails are like springs. When you go to touch them they kinda spring away.yeah sorry taken on iphone
Thank you!!!!! they have been driving me crazy!

I had an idea. I just cut the last plant out of my 15 gal living soil pot. I'm going to mist the wettable sulfur all over it, toss a nopest kill strip thing in there, cover it in a black trash bag. I think a majority of the thrips are just coming out of the living soil pots. Straight up the next day after cutting the last plant from one, a coco pot right next to it that had minimal thrip issues is now getting it's fan leaves bent over like a cheap meal.
