The ones I have start off as babys in the soil and as they turn to adults they move up to the leafs, the only way I can even see them in the soil is when I water, right when the water disappears into the groud they start jumping....The adults don't reallt slow anything down but they do shit on the leafs and that turns me off from making hash or even smoking the buds.

I think lilmom had thrips in her soil... when she watered she would see them jumping.... I'm not sure if she used mosquito dunks to get rid of them.... I know the dunks were talked about but not sure if they were the solution .... I'll try to find out
The plants look great... I wish I could grow outside...

When I had thrips indoors, I used a Pyrethrum fogger one time, and they were gone....so a pyrethrin based spray might work as well. Also, if yer seein 'em in/on yer soil, Diatomateous Earth will work as well.
Lookin forward to seein the garden grow.

place aluminum foil around base to cover the soil.
THis confuses the little thrips and they don't know where to lay eggs.

The thing about Diatomateous Earth is if you put it in a place that gets wet it only works for a few days...What I've been doing is using some stuff called Pest Out by Safer Grow, I use it in my own way, it says to spray it on the plants but I use it more like a drench...I put it in a gallon size sprayer and spray the top layer of the soil real good, no need to really drench the soil...I havn't seen a single thing moving in the soil since I've been doing this.....I also like always neem the plants about once every 2-3 weeks when in veg just to be safe.
Been busting my ass at the second plot today, it's only going to have 10 plants but they're all in the ground...8 in holes and 2 in 100 gallon smart pots...I'll take pics of that spot soon

It's been about 120 hours, give or take since I took the last pic of the Bubba Cheese. You can use the cage for reference.
The other pic is plot 1, it has about 30-40 days of veg left before it goes into full bloom.

I'll be happy if I avg 2 but sure some will go way over 3...what matters more is that 1 or more of the 5 new strains I've never smoked on in this plot will satisfy my unquenchable need for tasty smoke.....I'm bored with my current stash.
