I think I have thrips. HELP!!! PLEASE!

I am 7 to 10 days from harvest, and last night on closer investigation I found little tiny tiny thrip looking bugs. they were microscopic but could barely be seen by the close eye.
I have no experience with indoor bug problems, i have never had any bug problem before. With being so close to harvest I dont know what i can do, i hope to have a smokable harvest ya know. rrrrrrrrr please help.

Hello i have little black bugs in my water pool, i think they came from my rockwell, the bugs aren't on my plants but i see them in the water, some are alive but the majority drown, what can i do before they get to my plants.

I think I'm getting them too. Mine look like Larvae in the soil crawling around. They look soft bodied, I know thrips are. So get Botanigard 22wp and spray and water with it. It is a bacteria that will target them, eat into them ad when they die, they come out back into the soil andspead. Safe for us, says can be used up to the day before harvest but I would give it three days to be safe. For folier application use it every 3 days incase they shed their shell before they get infected. I use 2 tablespoons for 4 liters of water for the soil and about the same in the spray. What you mix must be used with in 24 hours. After spraying there is a 4 hour re-entry time. Excellent product but expensive. Regular insectiside under $10 but can damage plant if over used. This cost me $100 for 600 grams. It is a naturally occuring bacteria and will not harm the plants. Excellent stuff.

move plants out and clean room to start move plants back in. Throw out the rockwell and get new stuff.
