    if you only water when the plants start to droop,so they cant breed more in the soil.(they like damp soil). if you can a great tip ive found is if the plants youve got are not too big enough to fit in a bucket . fill a bucket with your diluited insecticide then put the soil pots in a bin bag and tie it up with just the plant being free of the bag.then just turn plants upside down and give them a good dip in the bucket. it has worked with me getting rid of spidermites and they are total cunts,im sure you can get on top of it.

    lol

    Try neem oil kid and cover the top of the soil with with perlite/pebbles/plastic etc etc to interupt the breeding cycle .

    Or try predator mites . There a pain declare war ! Good luck }

    Currently battling thrip myself and struggling myself. On the + side they don't seem to cause a great deal of damage, but they are fucking annoying.
    I've currently got my soil covered over with paper and I'm supposed to be spraying them every 2 days with pyrethrin but I've been neglecting it due to the fact it didn't seem to be making a great deal of difference and my flowering plants are getting a bit close.

    I think I'll try battling em again starting tomorrow morning. Using Py garden spray from greens

    gnat off kills them! it coats the roots and when they try to feed they die and it breaks the breeding cycle!
    i hadthem last grow and now again in this grow! let the soil dry out as much as possible then with the first
    watering use 1ml of gnat off to 1 ltr of water job done

    That easy?
    The thing putting me off of Gnat Off is the £20 price tag. But if its that good that only 1ml will get rid of my thrip then I'm well up for that.

    Considering it gets in to the plants i.e. as you say, it kills them when they feed from it. So is it bad in flowering? Any bad chems that shouldn't be used on stuff you're ingesting?

    Out of interest, if you had them last grow and got rid and you now have them this grow. How do you keep getting them? You sure the gnat off worked 100% and you've just reinfected it rather than, some of them lived on to the new grow?

    gnat off is organic so dont think it would hurt during flower, and it takes 24hrs to take effect 1ml per 1L puts my ec up by 0.1 i know it got rid of gnants not to sure about thrip.
