...i think so.

Do you have any leaf damage? If you haven't already, read the Thrip 101 thread (Sticky) at the top of the Infirmary page, it's great!

Two weeks ago, i never even heard of a thrip...now i've become all too familiar with them.

They used to be a major headache for growers...now there's very effective treatment.

Good luck!

peace,

Do they move fast or kinda slow. The thrips I am familiar with are very fast.

Hello all,

I had springtails a few years ago. I was told by my county dept. of ag.

They said they are not an issue other then being a pest.

I cleaned out my box anyway.

in large numbers these little fucks do fuck up a part of the grow....resulting in less harvest ....more little popcornbuds in the higher regions of the plant...and headpain getting them to die......been having them for about 9 months now......and i always clean the room after a run...even with bleach and such.....

Nuke those bugs like the children of Hiroshima. This is an insipid comment and I take it back.
