What is this?

I hear you right now I'm pondering buying diatomaceous earth as I understand thrips need to circulate between the plant and the soil during their life cycle, and a using a hydrogen peroxide solution to spray them all over, seems to me the best compromise..

neem oil is organic. use to label and cut with dish detergent.

diatomaceous earth is harmless to anything but bugs, available internationally...

good luck!

Two plants in flowering for 6 weeks now, both plants started develping these symptoms of discoloration. Tips are affected as well... Texture is fine and no growths are observed, checked for mites and funguses and I didn't find anything..
Thanks in advance!

Next time try a castile soap instead of the dish det.

FYI - Castile soaps kill mites by the same way FORBID does (desiccation).
Not as well as Forbid though.

By using a Castile soap you stay organic!

Hey all, just got the diatomaceous earth (DE) today. meanwhile, spraying hydrogen peroxide didnt do the trick on its own. I put some of the DE in a ring around the main stem but i'm having second thoughts as to pulverizing the plants with it.... I'm in late flowering 1-2 weeks to go and don't feel comfortable spraying buds with something we're not supposed to ingest.
Has anyone had any experience with applying DE in flowering ? thanks in advance

Try and keep any spray off your buds man, I used neem for a mite infestation during flowering, at harvest i rinsed the girls with ph water with a good shake, dried them with a fan for an hour before hanging......The smoke is really good but the taste....not so good.
