I have Thrips in later grow 2 plants of 6 are quite bad with them, 4 plants still look v good healthy, thought it was something else until I spotted them. The two most affected are nearer to finishing. Is it worth showering them off shaking them off? do I treat all plants? thanks

"Shouldn't do damage to the plant (unless you use a lot) and might kill them. " Might kill the thrips I mean. Well, it should kill them.

Well, in terms of least invasive sprays, I could perhaps recommend hydrogen peroxide or citric acid. Shouldn't do damage to the plant (unless you use a lot) and might kill them.

You could buy some predator mite sachets from your local grow shop if they have them, that will sort your thrip problem. Other than that a good mix of fairy liquid and sprayed on all plants will doo the trick. do this daily till you stop seeing pests...good luck brother

What about a quick blast in the shower after soaping or is that no good for the buds? and do I only apply to leaves.

I would treat all plants yes if ones infected you can pretty much guarentee there is some on the others too being so close but weather you can spot them or not is another question Im not sure with thrips but like most little things im pretty sure you can get some lady bird to clear that up organically they eat upto 50 small critters a day and can live upto 1.5 years with a good food source they are cannbisses best friends lol best of luck pal loking like they are really nice plants and 4 weeks is way more than enough time to get rid of them all so you will be fine :)

Hi mate, a good soapy water mix sprayed on the plants will kill any live thrips and just carefully wipe away or remove leaves affected by eggs. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

This is the better plant about 4 weeks off finishing.
