Holy thrips!

so I leftt a sticky thing on the floor. I guess I have thrips. Funny thing is the plants are about 2 1/2 ft off the ground on buckets.

So are these thrips? I haven't seen any on the leafs nor any signs from their damage. I do see them in the soil here and there.

I bloody hate thrips..we get loads of them in the summer, having a stroll in my local park leaves us covered sometimes..and they scrape human skin too the little buggers!

We also call them 'thunder bugs'.

They can fly btw, so it doesn't matter if the plants are off the ground.

There are different types of thrips that also look different in their multiple life stages ;








Here is the damage they can cause ;



I'm not certain those are thrips but have a real good look on your plants for any damage.

They will eat your roots and cause root rot. I just got rid of A bunch my self.

I got less than a week left till harvest so the leaves are already messed up a bit. Some good news. I just spent about 15 minutes looking through my dirt and couldn't find one.

Yeah now that I got a closer look I believe you are correct! Thanks. A bit of fresh air. They eat dead leaves and I've had a few on my tent floor maybe that's why I have so many down there.
