Hello everybody! At the beginning of the 6th week of flowering, I noticed a strong yellowing of the leaves. At first I thought it was a feeding problem. But looking closer at the magnifying glass, I noticed the thrips.Does anyone have experience with these pests at this stage?DWC

well you can use yellow sticky traps cut them in small pieces and put them all around or vacuum cleaner but do not spray anything on the plant because your in the flowering already BTW your lady look hungry raise the EC 17-2.2 😎

You will need to treat your area when done for sure. As for the plant I would not spray them with any chemicals. Best I recommend is at start of your dark time. Take the plant since its in dwc to someplace you can just rinse it off, and wash as many of them as you can off, and away. Just using water. Hit everywhere under leaves etc. You can do this as need till finish. It will keep their numbers down.

Hey, don't worry too much about thrips killing your cannabis plants, but they can mess them up, especially young ones. Thrips lay eggs on leaves, and when they hatch, they create small holes that make the plants vulnerable to infections. Look for silvery trails or black marks on the leaves. Spray the plants with neem oil, potassium soap, or diatomaceous earth to get rid of them. Make sure to cover all parts of the plant and spray the soil too. Try spraying in the morning or evening when they're active. If they persist, consider using an insecticide as a last resort, but be careful because it can be toxic. and don't forget to check your growroom as well after u get rid of the thrips off your plants. But tbh I personal would do a little more research on when its too late to deal with it. 6th week pretty close tbh. but at least you can try because there is no way around I guess. I would personal go with neem oil - always worked great. But just used it way earlier. Next run u could also use it as kind of prevention before u get diseases like this. Good luck!
