@DILLIGAF, about the same ~2oz’s but chopped down the first run at 9 weeks. If I had waited another 2-3 like I did this time I’m guessing it could’ve been a lot more. It was a monster plant about 4.5ft tall compared to this runs nearly 3ft more compact plant

@LockDownGrow, thanks this turned out to be some good stuff!

I’m surprised how unripe (not in a bad way) it appears from photos, for week 12 hardly any pistols changed over. What are the trichs looking like at this point for you? I’ve run these beans twice and have never gotten one that stayed white this late...pretty and super cool!

@LockDownGrow, mine also went purple last 2-3 weeks. Same with the flowers and sugar leaves had intermittent purple/red streaks.

@Alpengrower, it’s just a 400w full spectrum LED off amazon. ~ about $100

@CRiSPrGrow, that’s some great info I really appreciate it. Today’s the last day I’ll be letting her bask in the sun then I’m going to let her chill in the dark for ~24 hours and take her down on Saturday!

@HerbalEdu, thanks I’m excited to see what a difference 2 extra weeks does for this strain. Last time I chopped at 9 weeks this one is going to be at 11...hope it’s a more stoney couchlock

So day 2 and relatively no sign of the thrips maybe one or two that I simply wiped off the leaf. It’s a bit odd I thought they’d really take over like mites do lightning quick. The oil arrives tomorrow. But for now she still looks healthy and relatively unscathed by the little bastards minus a spot or two where they sucked some sap.

I just want to thank everyone for being so helpful. First I’m going to try topical cold press neem oil. If that doesn’t work I’ll go to bio route and try the nematodes. So far I’ve just been routinely checking in and removing any visible signs of them. Pretty much find one or two every 6 hours then no signs of them. Lol I may be the best pesticide for the plant. I’m pretty bummed I got them in there at all. Everything went so smoothly last run. Eh chalk it up to a learning experience and will definitely be more preventative in future runs. If worse comes to worse I will toss and restart after I sterilize the space (absolute last resort, hope it doesn’t end that way)

@HighTV, sweet going to give the been oil a go. Thanks for all the advice hopefully it’s early enough to not be such an issue. For preventative measures in the future do you ever just spray it down while vegging even if there’s no sign of pests?

@CRiSPrGrow, haha yes!

@HighTV, I’ve decided to go with cold press neem oil instead. Hopefully it’s got what I need. My plants relatively small enough so instead of spraying I was thinking perhaps manually applying with a damp paper towel to avoid any budsites being heavily sprayed, any thoughts on that? I don’t want to compromise the flavor if possible but would prefer to get rid of them no matter what.

I’ve removed all that are visible. Luckily the other plants in my tent are of no interest...lol super hot peppers probably aren’t what they wanna be eating. So far very little effect on the plants themselves. Matter of fact they could’ve been there for a few weeks now so I’m not sure what they are but they need to go, even if it’s only a few.

Thanks everyone. Going to try the bio way first!
