Ladybirdplantcare sell predators for Thrips and spider mites, very effective

They did help in my greenhouse once but were pricey and never killed everything.
Not sure they would help these as they getm oved around so much and its always windy.

Dont like useing them nowadays but some vintage organophosphate eradicated flower thrips in one mild dose in veg and the clones from them are clean.

The ants have become active now and deal with mites and larger but dont seem to bother eating tiny thrips.
Thanks to failing eyesight i did not see the extent of damage till they were infesting every houseplant , greenhouse and coldframe and eventually tents.

Most plants went from 18 hours light , combined daylight and leds , straight into an effective 8 hour light cycle , riseing to current 12/12.
The plants seem mostly not bothered by this schedule but one fluffed a few top buds , no hermies or signs of.

Four Cherrychunk , two revegged from last year , will be planted in soil if/when the get too big.
Has a real old school robust flavour and resists mould better than most
These went out in march and have been left alone under daylight , not a pistill on then yet..
