Hello. Based on descriptions and pics I think I have thrips. Can I spray that pyrethrin insecticidal soap on my flowers? I have a bottle and am hoping I don't have to shell out the bucks and wait for something else in the mail, but I will do anything. Please help!:leaf:

Have you ever smoked soap? A relative told me the stuff on the floor in my closet 1984 was the bomb got any more. I sprayed with a synthetic pyrethin insecticidal spray. He is still alive to my knowledge.It is just a flower Right?

I got the mosquito dunks and broke them up before I put them in water. They take a while to dissolve. I am so mad at thrips I want to declare war on them. I am hoping it is not too late. About 21 days to harvest but they have gotten worse than yesterday, even though I carefully spread some pyrethrin on the leaves. I took a microscope to them and I realize I can only see the adults with the naked eye. There are a ton of them in different stages of life. I thought the discoloration on my leaves was a nutrient problem. These things are the devil because they are hard to detect. I am so bummed. If my plants die I have no meds:( It's AK-48 from Nirvana I am growing so I will report how it turns out. Thanks for the help.
