Thrips...few days before harvesting

so..nothing to do then

am using pots..i can t find any good insects for the purpose
:comfort:

Nematodes, rove beetles, and hypoaspis mile and you are done. If you use fabric pots(like smartpots) then this can really cut down on anything in the pots. There is not a pest insect that can get into a fabric pot, and invade the root zone. With the nematodes, rove beetles, and hypoaspis miles they will create a "barrier" in the top of the pot. Should keep most anything at bay.

FYI I reapply nematodes once per month, and rove beetles, and hypoaspis miles once every flower cycle on all pots, even veg.
 
you ever smoke Mexican dirty swag? if so.. u smoked way worse then thrips lol and chemicals lol.. so I wouldn't spray shit on flowering plants. just bring to harvest..


and spray and clean the room and veg plants... they only eat leaves.. and only cause lots of stress and shit in huge numbers.

i am so happy when i read your words :)
thx so much

p.s. never smoked Mexican ones....but in the early '90 i smoked a lot of really bad Albanian Weed....was disgusting lol

:thank you:

ok for the next indoor cycle i will use the biological predators.

but one question : do you think do they work in outdoor too? in a normal garden? (not in a pot)

dude just grab a product called Monterey with spinosad.. spray your plants. .2 times.. in VEG only.. and its completely SAFE.. by the time the plant flowers.. it grows out of anything that was sprayed. meaning u have nothing to worry about.. I know dude who sprayed a few weeks into flower.. then did a clean with water and had no residue in product they had lab tested

i live in europe so for me it is easier to find a Bayer product...that i have already ordered..but i will not spray on them this time, maybe next cycle if Thrips come back again

ya u just want something with spinosad.. they eat the leaf sprayed. and they stop digesting and die.. very fast kill and very easy to get out of the garden for good. I sprayed 2 times. haven't seen thrips in 5 years lol. and I even got cuts with thrips.. and I just washed them in water sprayed with spinosad and boom. never a thrip in my garden. plus I quarantine for up to 2 weeks in a different part of the house. lol
