How to tackle thrips in flower

Hey bro sorry to hear that, week 5 flower and thrips? Annoying timing, but not game over, I got them as well 😭 First off, crank that airflow. Not just a breeze, you want leaves dancing, not shaking, but enough turbulence that those little bastards can't sit still. Ideally 2–3 fans from different angles, including one under the canopy if possible. Throw in sticky traps (yellow + blue), hang a few right above and below canopy. Helps catch flyers and monitor if they’re getting worse. If the buds are still pretty tight and early, you can spot treat with Dr. Zymes or a mild potassium soap on fan leaves, but avoid the colas. No neem at this point, don't spray use cotton or paper napkin. Even better,predator mites like Orius insidiosus or Cucumeris. Won’t hurt flowers, and they’ll hunt thrips nonstop. Lastly, watch your watering. Damp topsoil helps thrips thrive. Let the top layer dry between feeds if possible. You won’t fully wipe them out, but if you turn your grow into a wind tunnel and hold them back, you’ll still pull a solid harvest. Hold the line ✌️
