Thrips after that all the aphids are gone, Orius bugs are enough to eliminate them?

I've got some Thrips, The aphids plague that I had before is totally gone. But it's not a good idea to spray everything in with neem oil since the buds are being formed. I ordered myself 100 Orius bugs. Any other tip?

@Grey_wolf the plant has been moved to indoor after being 2 weeks outside until I decided to switch to indoor growing. I will use the predator bugs for now since I’ve already ordered them. @GrowingGrannie I’ve looked up the Dr. Zymes but it seems it’s not being sold here in The Netherlands and it’s hard to get it here. @DutchDoobie Thanks for the tip! Just ordered it and I will use this in case the Predator bugs are not effective enough. @M0use Lets see what de predators do, Thanks for the tip of the BTi!

@PietertjeOpDeLijn I feel nobody has touched on the elephant in the room so to speak WHY do you keep having insect infestations?? Are you bringing things into the tent from outdoors? Prevention is the best cure but since you already have the problem you have two choices use predators to hunt down the bugs or use a treatment like neem etc Don't use both as youll just be harming the beneficial bugs too Good luck with whatever road you go down

I would strongly advocate Dr. Zymes Eliminator... it's organic, kills aphids, thrips, spider mites, whiteflies... and can be used up to day of harvest. Just overcame a thrips infestation myself and I can tell you it WORKS... all my plants are now getting a weekly dose as a preventative... Good luck!

I would avoid spraying neem if you plan on releasing predator bugs into the tent to manage the trips, Neem will coat the leaves and bugs all ready in there and then when the predators are released it will hurt them as well. I would stick with the predator bugs and wait to see if they work. if there is not enough food for them they are going to go and find some and leave the tent. good idea to also use BTi if the bugs fail.
