Bugs under a scope

[HappyHemphog]

Meh! I got infested with some nasty little bugs, I believe they are thrips, but I'm posting some pics for check.

This bugger was found on the underside of the leaf but I also observed them on the surface of the leaf scraping the plant tissue from the surface of the leaf.

I am SO pissed because these were brought into my garden by my buddy who had to clear out his place. I never had bugs until I accepted those plants into my system. I'd gotten many cuts and never an issue, but bring in a pot (not sure if it was the soil mother or the vegging hydro plants) from somewhere else and BAM, within a month my whole garden needs to be shut down and cleaned. I may even have to restart my mothers.

Never again will I allow someone to bring a POTTED plant into my house let alone my garden!

GRRRRR

happend to all of us that recieved clones, now it happens to those that i give clones too hehe, but neem or spinosad will cure that problem almost for good, just another thing to have in mind while growing

the fact is that thrips are all around us, u may find them on ur houseplants too, or on the grass outside in the summer....controlled enviroment, gives THEM controle, sometimes
