Thrips

Hi guys, been a while. I have been fighting these damn thrips. What is your best way and product to get rid of those suckers? I have tried several and the best so far has been Captain Jacks. Any advice?

Minute pirate bugs, amblyseius cucumeris (if you're still in veg) and nematodes (I believe SF) to finish the run. After that, nuclear options to clean to the tent if indoors.

I grow in coco and use fresh every plant nemotodes wont work there as for using the mites these are autos. Any other methods? I grow in a 10 x 12 room.

Idk what chemicals are safe for use, I'd be looking for a chemical based wipe out, hypoasapis live in soil so no good for thrips after the event.

Thrips are a serious pest they need taken care of asap.

Spinosad worked brilliant for me. It’s natural and can be used up to 2nd week of flower

I tried everything, insectecidal soaps, cucumeris packs, and nematodes sacks. And they always brought them down but never completely wiped em out. Even sterilizing everything and consistently treating the plants every couple days.... What finally worked was putting the plants outside.

Kind of ridiculous actually that I spent probably about $200 over 4 months battling them, (this is only 2 plants in 5 gal pots) 3 weeks outside and they (Thrips) either moved on to more favorable plants or got destroyed from all the natural predatory insects (spiders, ladybugs, ants, beetles, wasps, bees, flies).

Anyways fucking Thrips!
