These white spots on these leaves have been bugging me for a while. I know deep down they’re thrips and I’m setting up the air compressor and HLVP sprayer in a few minutes and giving everything a good blast of spinosad. I don’t know much about these little fuckers, and this is my first run-in with any plant pest other than caterpillars. I bought the spinosad because it’s safe for my four legged children (even used as flea medicine for dogs) and it seems like the best non-toxic pesticide, and it says right on the label that it kills thrips (and caterpillars). I haven’t had any caterpillars on my outdoor plants yet but I’m glad I bought this stuff ahead of time.
Before I proceed, could this be anything else, or is it time to blast the tent? Do I need to do multiple treatments or any follow-up measures? I think they came in with that shitty soil I had to buy from Lowe’s because of the perlite and vermiculite shortage.
