something with the active ingredient of - pyrethrins / pyrethrines? ... even if slightly different spelling will be same type of molecule.. it breaks down in 2-3 days. it is a kill on contact option. sticky traps are also a good idea. it's always best to kill in multiple ways and preferably at mutliple stages of life -- with thrips i don't know of any produt that specifically targets their eggs/larva though. i don't think their eggs are in the substrate. Always scary using any product, even if listed as harmless, on flowering plants, but at least this one breaksdown very fast and you look to be very early in flower, so i'd use it to save a harvest in that context, but you'll have to make that choice. if you have real neem oil, that'll be fairly effective too... if it is "clarified" it is missing teh avtive ingredient that messes with their nervous systems. azadirachtin or similar spelling.. if that is not listed in teh active ingredients, then it is clarified... clarified has virtually no health impacts and is safe(r) to use than real neem oil, but also less effective. it's more akin to a horticultural oil - which does offer some benefits. it's still unpleasant for insects, and can be a deterrent but alone will not be effective. breaks down to harmless things within 14-21 days.

Hydrogen peroxide and water. Six parts water to one part peroxide as a foliar spray. Hope this helps.

The only thing I've ever found to work 100% of the time - Dr. Zymes Eliminator ... or some Spinosad... both are organic, both will kill all stages of not only thrips but spidermites, aphids and whiteflies as well... can be used at any stage of growth right up to the day before harvest if necessary..... The only thing is to spray just before lights out and spray everything - tops, bottoms of leaves, stems, branches... Good luck...

come prima tecnica ho usato quella che utilizziamo tutti anche se inefficace che è dire parolacce in tutte le lingue del mondo..😁😇 poi ho iniziato con cose serie neem aumento dell' umidita e spruzzare acqua sulle foglie del silicio per rinforzare la pianta questo non li ha eliminati ma mi ha permesso di concludere il ciclo tenendoli sotto controllo li ho eliminati completamente a fine ciclo disinfettando il box con alcol una cosa che non sono riuscito a prendere sono delle trappole adesive di colore blu che funzionano meglio di quelle gialle ma cosi' dicono io non ho provato...
