Battle of the TRIPES

[UberPooner]

OOOK, so i got some new friends in my growroom

I took some pics with my usb microscope.


I noticed some spotting on one plant leaf and then next thing I knew +-3 days later, all my plants have thripes walking around on them.

I just did a neem spray however, I just read that it does not kill adults and it makes sense since i see them everywhere...

Im going to wait a day and then do a spray with spinosad. I hope that works, ill keep spraying every 3-4 days.


Question for you guys- Do you have another suggestion on sprays?

Should I continue neem and switch off?

Can you combine neem with another product like a spinosad pesticide?

Thanks!

spinosad works in 1-3 sprays bro your good just spray leaves and under the leaves or do plant dunks..

Also do a soil drench with spinosad to get the stage of Thrips that spend their time underground. There is a Thrips Sticky. Good luck. -granger

Thank you both for quick answers!

@EasyCoast710, awesome to know it can be solved with 1-3 sprays.
