    Default Thrips in flower

    Hi, recently joined the forum and really need some advice.
    Iv discovered a thrip infestation.
    They are quite a lot, they are signs on about a 3rd of my leaves.
    I'm in the 5th week of flower. Any advice?
    Cheers

    Cheers for replys.
    I'll get some pics later.
    I stripped all infected leaves I could see.
    They are very healthy besides the thrips.
    Iv covered the soil so they can't get in there to incubate.
    Wondering if there is a solution that would wash the remainder away but not effect the flowers...
    With it only a few weeks from crop I'm panicking...

    Cant comment on how to deal with the thrips but come chop time if you wash the buds most the thrips will come off 👍

    Diatomaceous earth mate a good dusting around the soil n on lower leaves, not the buds! the stuff cuts em to shreads n its organic.
    water from bottom up for a bit whilst the DE is doing its magic.

    Definitely dude, just the dust from the soil will make a mess, you should check out some youtube video about washing them.
