Thrips
GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 2 years ago
I would go with the ladybugs if you can, particularly at this point in your grow... but you can also pick up some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad, both of which are organic and can be sprayed right up to the day of harvest. The problem with that is you need to spray both the tops and the bottoms of all leaves as well as the stem and all branches (just before lights out) and it gets really difficult with as much of a planting as you have... but it can still be done.
Your choice - but do something NOW.... Good luck!

I appreciate your answers, my local grow shop is supposed to be getting cucumeris in today, when I called them a few days ago the salesperson told me that the ones they had seemed to have expired and that they should be getting more in later in the week.
@Roberts As immediately as I can.
@ernesttwwg I too dislike aphids, but they usually don't come in my home, raspberry bushes though, different story.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos Amblyseius cucumeris are what I'll be getting once available.
@GrowingGrannie Thank you for all the information, unfortunately ladybugs aren't in season right now so that's not an option, it is handy to know though. I prefer not to spray the foliage with anything especially during the flowering phase, just because something is organic doesn't necessarily mean it's safe or healthy.
There is positive news, I haven't seen any in a couple days, and I've been looking pretty close, still gonna grab the mites though.
Thanks again, you're all appreciated.

As soon as you see them, add the predatory mites. Amblyseius cucumeris and Amblyseius swirskii is the preferred predator for thrips control. They are tan-colored mites found on the underside of leaves along the veins or inside mature flowers.

As soon as you see them or notice they are chomping on your plants.
I saw a few aphids and ordered 1500 ladybugs. Overkill? Maybe. But, I don't want aphids around.

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.

This morning I found a huge slug resting on one of my buds😠. I also see a trial where he was on some other sites near by. Surprisingly, I can't find any noticeable damage other than the buds he was on are full of slime. Will this harm the development of my buds in the future?4 years ago

How many weeks left? AutoIs it too soon to flush it? It's on week 12 and I was supposed to harvest 3 weeks ago. This week the stigmas were getting brown so I flushed it. Is it premature? How many weeks do you think I have left? It's got spider mites problems but I'm fighting every day. Thank you! 😘
