McDonald, clicked on your pic and was taken off site to imageshack's site I think. Anyway it was off site from ICM. Makes me nervous dude! Not cool.
Might try some ladybugs for control if you've got a sealed room. Neem oil, pyrethrum if you've got time between now and harvest. Google like sandman said.
And remove the link from your pic, please.
Peace

I know man but it was a link off this site and I didn't choose to go there straight from this one without purging my cache and a taking few other precautions first. Why do you have to store images on another site and not your own computer where you can control them. I wouldn't want those out there if I were you. I don't know anything about that site or about who manages it, but if I were LEO, I'd be watching those sites and who comes and goes from the mj pictures. If they are, I just left peter tracks all over your pics and I don't appreciate it.
I'm not trying to be a hard ass, but it is after all my ass and my feedom on the line. I don't know you either for that matter. Those pics could have come from anywhere on the net. Hell you could have gotten them from some other careless grower who's somebody's bitch behind bars now. You might be OK and just be doing stupid things but I and quite possibly others here don't appreciate trying to help people and having our doors rattled in the middle of the night by some badge holding a warrant and slobbering to make the newspapers by making the world's smallest bust in my case (don't mean to speak for anyone else). This isn't my mag or my forum, but if it were, links off the site that weren't labeled as such wouldn't sit in these forums till the ink dried on the post. NOT COOL. I should have the choice as to whether or not I want to risk the rest of my life to take a look at your bugs.
JESUS! Ya get it??????

It should be McD's problem that you didn't/don't bother to float the cursor and see where the an image takes ya off to?
Ya get it yo?

Cool dude. This site takes extreme precautions to keep its info wiped several times a day. Can't speak for the one that I was linked to from your picture. Apology accepted. Thanks.

i didn't see the pic...but I trust MTF Sandman. Thrips are tough to get rid of unless you get the right product. What you need to look for is Monteray Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad as the active ingredient. It is the best organic thrip control on the market...no question. Google em to find a place to buy.
The way I look at it is that there two basic types of insect controls out there. There are broad use insecticides that work ok on lots of different types of bugs...then there are specialized controls that work great for certain bugs and don't work on others. The Spinosad is specialized treatment for thrips. Thats what you need.

Part of the convenience of having a site like this is that we shouldn't have to check everything out before we click on something and get taken at warp factor 7 to a link that uses the cookies and info pulled from our past excursions to track. And the stuff that's gathered isn't dependent upon who posted it or who was taken to it. You leave pieces of your information all over the internet at every site you've visited. Yeah I got it. He took the link off and I appreciate it. He apologized and I accepted. Sorry McD if I pissed on ya. I don't post and reply here so I'll have something to worry about. I think we all come here expecting to stay here while we socialize with those of a like mind. It's good to be able to relax and not have to spend your time worrying about your next click, no???
I'm not a last word freak so this is the end of the conversation for me. Thanks McD. Good luck on the grow, bro.

Sandman is right I was looking at the bugs and not the leaf damage .. that leaf damage is classic thrip raspings. Theyre also a bitch because they have 2 life cycle stages that are below soil. One spray wont kill them all.. you'll have to do waves. The adults also have functional wings to go hide. Best of luck cause they look big and fully established.

McD, try hanging one of these. Hiroshima for bugs, hehe. It's gonna last up to a couple of months if you need it to and it'll take care of the adults and the larvae. You should be able to get one at your local hydro store and they're about 8 or 9 bucks. One strip will take care of a room 10'x15'x8'tall. Take it out after the life cycle of the bugs would have passed, i.e. past time the larvae would have developed into adults, just to be sure. You can leave it in the grow area to within two weeks of harvest. I'd take it out then so it'll have time to dissipate before ya harvest and cure. Don't know if that's necessary but err on the side of caution, IMHO.
Use this only if you don't spend a lot of time in your grow area. I wouldn't use it if you've got small children in close proximity to the grow area unless the grow room is sealed. Kids have a respiratory rate 5-10 times that of an adult. Other than those precautions, sayonara thrips.
Peace and luck to ya

I dont know if I got a bad strip last time...but I grabbed a couple no pest strips from hot shot, cause everyone on this board has said that they work great for mites....Not for me. I hung them inches from the foliage...and hell I saw the little fuckers running across the strip, it didn't phase em
