    You can use predators. I wouldn't spray anything.

    Strip all the leaves you can afford to lose, wipe off the remainder, wipe off the stems, pull the plants out and clean the entire grow area, bring the plants back in and blast them with a fan hard for a full day, repeat. The thrips will try to fuck off and if you give them no foliage to hide, they will hate the wind.

    Cucumeris

    I get these from my local nursery. They're predatory mites that eat young thrips.

    The other thing to do is put large yellow sticky traps under the canopy. Put a cotton ball on the sticky trap with vanilla extract. It attracts them. You'll want to put more vanilla on the cotton balls every few days.

    Here's a couple good articles on thrips control.
