When can I move the next one into flowering?

I just added a blueberry into my flowering room within the last 48 hours, however I seen that my veg room had thrips today, which inspired me to check the blueberry and sure enough it had grubbish thrips as well. I haven't really seen anything flying and only a couple here and there on leaves, which makes me think that their numbers are pretty low yet.

I have a couple of other ladies in flowering, one is on 4 weeks and the other is 6 weeks, and I didn't want to risk the thrips getting out of control in the flowering room. I removed the blueberry from the flowering room, and inspected the two ladies and saw no trace of any grubbish thrips around where the leaves may have overlapped. Do you think that removing this late was quick enough to prevent the spread to my flowering room?

I'll be blasting my veg room with everything that I have for the foreseeable future. I have pyrethrin, neem oil, and sns 209.. hoping that I can just make a combination of everything and use that for a while. How long after hitting my plants with that mixture do you think it will take before I can start moving them into flowering? I already messed up my perpetual cycle with this thrip discovery.. hoping to get this under control asap.

Also, I have my veg room lights running 24/7, which would make spraying them a bit difficult, correct? I was always under the assumption that the lights should be off when spraying for pests. Should I just unplug my light for a couple of hours and let the mixture sit on the leaves longer?

From what I have read, plus seeing them with lights on, I believe thrips feed during the day. If you're worried about burning leaves through light magnification, just raise the light until foliage is dry. Treat your media as well, wait a few days then treat everything again! I read one (female) thrip can reproduce - not sure why that'd be called a female! Good luck with the killing!
