    Hey all,

    Start of week two of flowering and I noticed some thrips. My question is how do i deal with them now that I'm into flower?

    If you dont want to spray in flower (I'm assuming you don't) Predatory insects - lacewing, ladybug, Rove beetle all eat thrips and leave your buds untouched.

    I definitely don't want to have to spray in flower but if I can get away with it I will... I've already got an insecticidal soap by Green Earth (triethanolamine Salts of Fatty Acids 1.25%) that has been controlling them throughout Veg that I can use.

    Is it safe to spray in flower?

    IME insecticidal soap in flower burns pistils badly.
