I really hope they aren't aphids, I've never seen em but no matter what they are, you dont want them in there.

Well they didn't seem to take the soaking of Captain Jacks too bad. The new growth is looking a little light on the green so I will up the feedings in the next watering which will probably be either tomorrow or the next day. Next CJ spray down in 4 days. Here they are before lights out, I raised the T5's as high as I could until they dry off well from the spray down but all the banks are on. I would feed tonight I know they need it but the pots are still too wet, it will have to wait a bit more.

Well it's wake up time for the veg tent and the third GG seedling that I was waiting to sex decided to show...........balls! 
So I went 2 for 10 on fems with this pack. We have the 2 GG Girls now and the Auto with a tiny seedling and clone taking up some T5 lighting for a bit.
It will be 12/12 time soon but I want them bigger and stronger first, at the rate they're going shouldn't be too long.
The plants seemed to take the Captain Jacks fine, no issues with the leaf burn etc like I had with the Method 1 pps and I drenched the shit out of the plants with the CJ.
Obligatory pic of the much emptier veg tent now lol.......

What do you recommend if the CJ does not work?

There are a few things that work good but they are not good Chems . I am pretty sure that Bayer total insect control will kill anything. It has imicloprid and b-cyflourin in it. I used it before to kill off a root aphid infestation . It is bad stuff for bugs and it's not really for edibles but it works and worst case scenario you could spray real heavy 3 or 4 times then take clones . Once clones root dip them for like a minute and pot em up. Throw away all other plants. That will work for irradication. There are probably other ways ? They are a bitch once they take hold of your grow but they are beatable. The Bayer stuff is cheap too like 8 bucks compared to all the expensive stuff like the name brands avid and forbid made by the same company for hundreds.

Ok thanks, I will wait and see how the CJ goes first as I have only sprayed once and today I have not seen any Thrips on the plants leaves. I have another item on standby from the grow shop, they said it's what the nurseries use, and the lady said it will kill everything but the plants, but when you start being told don't wear shorts, use gloves, etc it concerns me as being too harsh. I'd like to save this grow if I can from a full infestation so we shall see.

Damn.....only 2 out of 10.
You could always use Pyrethrum sprays if the CJ doesn't work. Its organic and can even be used weeks into flower. Being as you have a smaller tent, I'd use a store bought in a spray bottle like for spot treatments. I've used the Pyrethrum TR in a bomb form for my room and it cleared it of Russet Mites, but its rated for up to 3000sq ft which may be a bit overkill for your size tent lol. Great stuff that worked.

I had excellent results with Monterey Garden Insect Spray when I had thrips. 100% dead within 24 hours and no affect to plants.

Yeah bro now I feel like the whole thing has been a waste of time especially after bringing them all back from almost certain death lol. and for the record it was 2 out of 12 because they threw in two extra beans but those didn't even pop.
I'm going to do an all fem bean run the next go around I need a break and I really need more flowers in my life soon lol...........

That's what I just did with my grow too. The Rugburn og I have are regs and out of 12 seeds 5 were fems 5 were male and 2 had a weird deficiency and just died ? I ended up with what everyone believed to be broad mites so I had to nuke mine also . But never in flower. I just spray on a regular in veg and spray them with a good spray of straight ro water on day 1 of flower to remove any excess bug spray on the leaves residually and it has always worked for me. I'm still not sure that I had any bugs but I wanted to make sure
