I had thrips and the silvery damage to your leaves look the same. Little bastards are hard to get rid of. I used MM2000 Every 3 days for 3 times litely misting the plants on a ratio of 75% under the leaves to 25% on top. Remember to do the soil or other medium also as they breed there. If you are too far into flowering to spray then finish those plants off asap and take the loss. It is alot easier to get rid of them in a veg room.
A final note on the Thrips. They cause disease in the plants as well so get on it fast.

Default Thrips, mites and other pests
te=GangAman420;234841]i think its been decerned... thanks potato, they're Thrips... found this link with a pick of them... this is their larvae... at this point i'd like to ask if anyone has had any experience dealing with them... what should i get to get rid of the problem, and shoot, what type of iss ue is this going to cause 3 weeks out of harvestingg... [/quote]
It's hard to say how much of a problem it will be. If you catch it early, it should be OK. I (and a lot of other folks here in Mendocino, California) use a great product called, "Azatrol." You can get it at most hydro stores, or feed and grain stores/lots. Follow directions. It's expensive, but works very well and is worth the cost. It should be used with a commercial sprayer ($25), but used every 7-10 days will keep virtually all (thrips, mites etc) pests away. It's "broad spectrum," (works on many, many types of pests) acts as a preventitive and inhibits feeding and molting. Very low toxicity, breaks down in a few days. Neem works, as does blended buttermilk and wheat flower (see marijuana Bible--Google it) but bugs will keep coming back--it has no (or very little) preventive qualities. With bad outbreak(s) you will have to "Neem" every day. That's too much work!!! Get some Azatrol and relax, it will save you a lot of work and anxiety. Also, get a 30X magnifier and check your plants every day during times of peak outbreaks. Catch any unwanted activity early with the Azatrol and you'll be very satisfied with the results. Good luck, and Aloha from Mendo-Land!!! PS/ With clones, it's very, very important to catch any pest activity as early as possible, as they will not tolerate stress like seeded plants.

I have a small infestation of what my local hydro guy said are sciarid fly. I have found small white larva in the bottoms of my pots, ( a haze no2 and grapefruit bowl mother).
He suggested using a product called Gnat off, which I flush through my soil once a day for a week to 10 days.

Was just wondering if anyone one has any other succesful ways of getting rid of these bug(gers)?

Thanx in advance

What i have found works best is to buy a pack of American spirit cigarettes (No additives) and remove all of the tobacco, add to a quart of water and simmer for about a half an hour. Then add 1/2 quart of water (Phed of course) and spray under and all over leaves and plant.

Tried Neem Oil for weeks with almost no affect but this solution killed them the first time!! Voila~ it was like a miracle. see what others think but thats what worked for me and i had them bad!!

Commercial greenhousemen are very familiar with nicotine based insecticides. They are also natural and organic.

Good luck!
