Thrips

Found a pretty big infestation of thrips on a flowering plant, 3 weeks out from harvest. Have wiped it’s branches, pulled most infested leaves, wiped medium infested leaves, and wiped down every branch rubbing off all small thrips and eggs. My question is at what point is the plant ruinned? What effects do thrips have on marijuana plants? How do I tell if it’s dying or dead? The buds are all fine and growing and looking good at this point. So what do I need to be on the lookout for here?

Thrips wont damage the buds but will stop the plant from reaching it's full potential, yield will probably be slightly less. Other than that with 3 weeks left not much you can do. Keep killing any ones you spot to help aid.

Thank you sir.

The cycle if it’s warm I think is 13 days. 17 days if it’s cooler. So I think your ok. As said keep on the lookout for adults.
