Showed the pic to a guy at the grow shop but he hasn’t seem them before. They survived Athena IPM. I got some pyganic it seems to get the numbers down. But I also did some defoliation of a lot of lower leaves when I started the pyganic.
Figure if I can get to know my enemy I can kill it. The stretch has started here in northern Cali . Don’t want to be spraying them for too much longer. Looking good so far other wise.

Thrips? Based on the leaf damage and their size may be, although the ones I've had are all black, haven't seen the white

I’ll try tomorrow morning when I check em. I saw one tonight before I sprayed. They are super tiny. Little black and white things. The only thing I’ve seen on them

Sprayed what?
Commercial veg type sprays kill predators
Not to mention safe for consumption
Once you kill predators the pest really come and it becomes a roller coaster
Edit I just looked up pyganic
Still it is the one thing I try to avoid is the initial spraying
Citrus is less likely to do more than keep them off the plant

Ya I’d rather not be spraying shit on em either hah but they were starting to cause more damage than I’d like to see. I always start a little less than half strength with anything. Tried Athena IPM its citrus and peppermint some other shit and it didn’t do it. But they didn’t like it at full strength. So tried pyganic.
