So just some super tiny thrips? Under magnification the abdomen is telling. Still probably have to bust out the spinosad to get rid of them. Last time I had thrips they were huge.

Nymph stage, looks like.

Well, nobody is testing my buds and I firmly believe that the only thing spinosad residue does is show up on tests — I’m convinced it’s totally harmless but there’s still that pesticide stigma. I can try to treat the one pink grapes with a spray bottle and try to avoid the buds, but I obviously need to blast the tent.

You might try cycling acidic versus alkali water spray to interrupted their life cycle. That can get you through flowering if it’s too late to be spraying. Acidic (citric acid) will kill 48 hours later alkaline water to keep the plants from swinging ph too hard.

It’s tough to tell in their nymph stage, both are equal magnitude of gross lol

there’s one or two on most of the damaged leaves I checked, and I agree. Very glad it’s not mites. Just wish I could find my HVLP gun. There are enough thrips in there that I’m concerned about them maturing and swarming.

Okay so I pulled the plants out and blasted the 3 that are less mature, and blasted the walls of my tent, with a pump sprayer because my HVLP gun is MIA. On the other pink grapes that’s halfway through week 7, I just physically removed as many chewed on leaves as I could find. Probably not enough to eradicate them but I’m sure I slowed them down. I think one or two more treatments like this and they’ll be gone.

Heck ya, even pressure with a garden hose can do a lot.

Could try washing them with 1:1 hydrogen peroxide/water. Spray the soil with it too supposed to kill eggs

Im a big fan of the "nuclear" options myself, but, for thrips during flower the best thing I have personally found are minute pirate bugs. I was thoroughly impressed with how fast and how many of those little bastards they could kill.

I had an OGKB mutant from a pack of "citrus farmer" from Dungeon's Vault that fits that description perfectly. If not for that yield, she might still be around. Amazing flavor!

It looks like the larval stage of something. If you find out what, please post.

Thousand Pardons bout that y’all. A lot of awesome folks in this thread, that helped me out tremendously, and as rough as things are not trying to lose that privilege. Gushers OG getting floppy. Definitely should’ve put up some trellis, but just gonna have to tie branches up with string for now if they get to floppy. Should only have a week or two left, and I really hope they get rid of all that excess nutrients especially the nitrogen in the soil.Would hate making it to the finish line just for it to be harsh and taste like hay
