I am new to growing heading into week 4. I believe I might have a small Thrip issue. I noticed small white bugs yesterday and then when I just checked on the ladies I noticed a small shiny trail on a leaf. You can see it leaf damage on my journal for today Plant 1. Any advice?

Yep, that's a thrip. You'll likely notice light green splotches on the plant too. Neem oil to get rid of them. Regular defoliation to help keep them gone.

hey friend Go to the store and buy a bottle of Dr Bonners castile soap. Make a spray bottle of 3/4 water 1/4 soap and thats one mean bug blaster. Good to the earth and to the plants...minimal or nonexistent side effects. They sell it everywhere, grocery stores, walmart/targets, pharmacy stores. You can use plain dish soap but castile seems to break down their outer body better and faster. That's the most successful product ive used.👍
