    If you're going for a spray option, you will be good with Provado ultimate fruit and veg bug killer or Bug Clear, both do very well and are systemic solutions

    Most insecticides are safe to use on a clone, the exception would be the systemic mighticides I would never use those on any growing cannabis plant.

    I like Montgomery spinosad for things like thrips, they take care of them real quick and it's all natural. Spinosad also breaks down after three to five days under intense light, so it's no longer active in your garden after that time.

    I just noticed them Montgomery brand has got about five times more expensive this year, but they are putting it in a lot of stuff these days and read the labels carefully you can find it.

    You can as they are also 'contact killing' as well as systemic, but don't go mad lol

    The Bug Clear systemic spray is often recommended by both Bud Lightyear and M_C and I trust their judgment and then some!

    Absolutely, they can multiply REAL quick!

    There are many different options for killing thrips or any bugs for that matter and we all have our own choices to make..

    I personally go for the natural predator bug option, I've had great success with them, but I do know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

    I've never felt comfortable using chemical sprays..but that's a personal thing as said


    I have no doubt however the sprays work very well.
