In veg u can use neem oil to make the plant unappealing to those bugs.
In flower I love to use ladybugs and their larvae.

I used plain old soapy water, well the bubbles from the soap!
Then wash that off with standard tap water.

If you still have 1-2 weeks to go, you can get ladybug larvae, which will eat your friends.
You really did the bud washing?!
I think you really used the last method for that, played through.

Trimming can remove a few, but if they are stuck in the trichomes you're going to have a hard time.
Even if you just hang to dry, most of them will leave as soon as the plants starts shriveling in the 1st few days.
As soon as it's not food anymore, they leave, but there will be a bit of a mess left.
Depending on how bad it is, you can just cut the bits out that they are stuck in. If they've completely taken over, then you may have lost the battle.
Hopefully it's not too bad.

Should I scrape the scoops of chem?Definitely has thrips and has been through the wringer. Trashed the other four plants I started it with when I bought 9/30. This plant should’ve been harvested by now but I kept stringing it along and causing it problems.

What are these bugs?What are these bugs? I'm not sure if they're thrips or not. The plant is indoors in soil. They've just shown up in the last few days. They're not crawling all over the plants, mostly down at the soil level. I did see a couple on the stalk but they're not up in the leaves/buds.Other. Bugs
