Recently got some cuts in from a buddy. This is what’s on them. Thrips possibly but would like some extra eyes on it! View attachment 5292186View attachment 5292187View attachment 5292188View attachment 5292190
this is the time to be able to kill off the bugs, dip em in spinosad (+ biocontrol ) , wait 3-7 days apply A diff knockout like suffoilx+ bio control like k venerate , 3-7 apply spinosad . Key is 100% coverage and mixing multi modes of attack and never using same product multi times in a row…

key is not over using per season the spinosad or you’ll have pest resistantance. having them so small and u can 100% dip em if u want the plants it def can be done

Thanks man. If this was a worst pest/bug I’d most likely toss. But I agree with you I think I can sulfur dip, clean, and then soap em down. It’s a strain I want, and confident I can get rid of them.

Damn, I'm sorry I'd toss it too.

When you see darkly pigmented guttation like that it's often the sign of a fungal infection. You don't want that to establish in your grow.
That’s something I’ve never encountered or knew what that was called even when I’ve seen other plants do that. Researching about it now.

Any chance that could be the excrement from a bad infestation from the source location/mother plant?

Although anything is possible it's the probability of that possibility you have to work with. As it stands I would not allow the potential of that to establish in my grow rooms because then it becomes a constant fight.

Your comfort with risk is something only you can judge. I wish you well with whatever choice you make.

I greatly appreciate your insight and experienced point of view. As I take zero lost tossing them, except the pain of opening up a Xmas present to find out it’s not what you wanted haha. I seriously do not want the extra headache from fighting mutliple issues.

I appreciate everyone’s responses! Better safe then sorry
