Critical Purple Auto FLower

So I had a Thrip infestation, my fault for bringing it outside on beautiful days, won’t do that again! I noticed the leaves were getting really blotchy with big white streaked areas that looked like a nutrient burn from a foliar spray. Seeing as I did foliar spray earlier I figured that’s what it was, wrong. I had spider mites one time a few years back (same damn reason) and didn’t see those under the leaves so figured I was all set. The thrips I found on top of the leaves so I had to take drastic action. Googling thrip infested cannabis leaves I saw the exact thing on mine and seeing thrips in person I knew what he problem was, half the problem in finding a resolution. I drenched the entire plant, buds and all, with an insecticidal soap and let that sit for 15 minutes. Then I used a powerful stream of water from a pump sprayer and soaked and rinsed the crap out of it with the planter on its side to wash the shop and the dead thrips away, then put a strong fan on it to dry the buds. That worked well with no ill effects and I saw dead thrips with my jewelers loop here and there that I rubbed off with my fingers from the leaves. This morning I took my leaf blower and blasted the heck out of it to blow away any debris and any live thrips if they were there. Again, no ill effects. The leaves won’t get any better looking but the buds seem to be doing just fine with trichomes and all and getting plumper by the day. If I see so much as one live thrip again, and surely there will be as it’s never and one and done affair, I’ll repeat my procedure in a week.I’ll do it again in a week anyway as I’m sure there are eggs that will have hatched by then and if I kill those thrips before they lay eggs I may break the cycle. I cleaned the grow space completely with bleachy water too, never can keep it too clean. I feel certain it’ll survive not too much worse for wear into full flowering time, which at this point according to Growers choice would be another five weeks so it’s getting close and she’ll make it. Learn from my mistake and no matter how gorgeous it is outside, resist the temptation to get an infestation of any kind of bug in exchange for a few hours of sun, it’s not worth it in the long haul. After the grow is done I’ll put an insecticide bomb in the grow area to kill anything that might go dormant laying in wait, and then thoroughly clean the area with bleach water. Live and learn, and at lest I learned and won’t have a repeat next grow.
