Hi my Friend, if you sprayed nukem and they are still alive and moving then it's not thrips. It's russet aka broad mites. I still use mycotrol-wpo mixed with suffoil-x. Since I started this program I have had zero problems with any kind of bugs except worms. I use spinosad for worms. Spinosad won't kill russet. It says it will kill thrips and it probably will. My guess would be that if you spray spinosad it's not going to solve your problem. Mycotrol has Beauveria bassiana a organic fungus that is injested and blows their guts up.
When i had russet I thought it was thrip. I sprayed everything I could buy nothing worked until I found Mycotrol and suffoil. when you had those bugs in your tent back when, those were russet. worryfree was what I was using and it didn't work. just like most things I tried it just slowed them down and they would come back. if you have russet now, this close to harvest it's not good. you can still kill them and save your flowers but, they will have dead bugs in them no getting around it.
