I'm not 100 on that bro. I'm a lil gun shy with neem cake. I've burnt the shit outta some plants before using that stuff. I only add it to my soil, and in small proportions.

If you want to eliminate thrips I would go with spinosad. Captain Jacks or something similar. Spray the cuts down once and you're done. If you ever get thrips on established plants, spray them down twice with a week in between applications, making sure to spray the surface of the soil too as they will hang out there as well. Sticky traps to catch the fully mature adults that will be flying around.

That's the best course of action that I've come across. Neem seed oil foliars only seem to slow them down, not eliminate them.

Edit: As for the crab shell meal. That's used as an IPM. The chitosan in the shell mimics the exoskeleton of pests/bugs and triggers the plants autoimmune response which heightens its natural defenses. I don't think this can be accomplished as a foliar, but I could be wrong....

Silverback around day 44. 7 different seeds

Smells, I'm still learning, but some smell really fruity while the others smell really gassy?
All were topped once, lollipopped the bottoms, thinking next time I should prune some of the fan leafs off.
