So far the soap seems to be working. I have been mainly spraying the leaves, trying to get top and bottom. It was 3 days from the first round, and after searching I found several thrips on leaves, I had a hard time finding one yesterday, so gave them another blast of soap today. Here is the...

I’ll toss some pics up later, I haven’t seen much progressing damage so I think the soap is working. A quick check under the leaves last night and I was able to find 2 or 3 live thrips, but that was looking for a good 10 minutes. I will spray the leaves again this afternoon as the eggs are...

Welcome to RIU!

I did remove a lot of leaves. When I first realized they were thrips I was really pissed and almost just ripped them all out of the sips and into the fire pit. I think with a few treatments I can get them to limp across the finish line ok, then it’s time to clean house. This is all my fault...

That sounds like a great idea. I can see myself trying to hold a 17 gallon sip with the 30” x 30” scrog nets upside down and swishing them around in my jacuzzi filled with insecticide soap. I can also hear my wife behind me as I do it. At least I actually laughed when thinking about it, thank...

I sampled a bit then looked at the underside of about 50 random leaves. I found 3 thrips, and couldn’t verify if they were alive before squishing, so I believe way less than before. I’m going to wait 2 days and spray again. I’ll keep you posted.

I have a ton of citric acid, I might try that if the soap doesn’t do anything. I gave the leaves a good soak then wiped the ones I could get to top and bottom with a soaked paper towel, read somewhere that helped some. I saw a couple then wiped and they were gone, either squished or dying in the...

Well I noticed some white spots on the leaves the other day and brushed it off as spray from when I foiler sprayed with SI or CalMag earlier. Today it had spread some, but I didn’t spray, and I realized right away my fears had come true. Worst thing is I knew better. I started my veggies in my...

A portable ac still needs to exhaust outside the room, I run the same type setup. The ac exhaust is quite warm and humid air, if you are exhausting it inside the same room it is basically fighting itself. That’s why mini-splits are “split” and window units have one side inside and one outside...

@laddyd at least next year you can remind her how it went and suggest something more outdoorsy, like a round of golf.

They might, but lesson learned, don’t let the cat in with the grow. Just pop a few new seeds, not a big deal.

I would try watering more, it’s hard to over water coco and it’s hard to tell how much water it’s getting in 20 sec.

What soil are you using? They look hungry, I’m not sure if it’s only a n deficiency but they need fed.

It looks hungry, what are you feeding it? Coco and perlite is hydro and you need to feed it every watering.

This is the main problem with flushing in my opinion. I think a harsh taste is usually from improper curing, taking plants early, or genetics. The plant above appears to have another couple weeks to go, hopefully she’ll ride it through even though you flushed, but starving a plant when it...
