First time grower day 53 flower

Post by Cam »

Howdy all! 2nd post here and I'm looking for advice again! I am currently sitting at day 53 of flower after a 50 day veg on my first ever grow. On approx day 45 of veg I noticed that I had a couple thrips on the leafs of one of my plants. I sprayed all my plants with insecticidal soap and then 14 days later (day 9 flower) I did another out of precaution even though I didn't notice any further thrips or leaf damage. Now yesterday I noticed 2 thrips on one plant, issue being there is so much frost on these things the ones I found were next to impossible to see, being they were yellow helped. I know that where there is one there is always more. Now for my questions.

Will the thrips damage my buds? Most of the reading I've done indicates they usually stick to the leaves. In the event they do NOT go for buds I can just clip any leafs I notice signs or bugs on.

Should I spray for them again? I am roughly 2 weeks away from chop, maybe as much as 3 as near as I can tell. Also if I do spray for them Should I use the insecticidal soap again or something else? I do intend to do a bud was either way but would like to stay as close to natural as possible.

Photos of the plants are attached! Please feel free to comment on the plants as well as my thrip buddies. Look forward to hearing your advise!!!

Wow those plants look great even with your little bug problem. I use 3 fans to keep good air movement and also put sticky pads around the bottoms of the plants. I haven’t had problems with bugs yet! I do know thrips/bugs love the moist medium, try drying it out a little more before your next watering.

Don`t go spraying them now your this close to chop. Just put them on water a few weeks, i think they should be good. Sticky traps for thrips should do trick and keep thrips down for a week or two, aim at around 65 - 70 days and those should be good, but make sure you get right ones for jobby, not all sticky traps do job with thrips. I was once told to get the blue ones that are best for sticking thrips https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-Large-B ... Sw-eVaBDsN

They looking frosty from here and remember theirs a million times more times frosty goodness inside buds than just on outside.

Deal with the thrips when the plants are chopped.

Is that a seed at 8pm in picture 3?

You noticed anything strange?
