      Well the thrip moved in so I just sprayed down all my plants with one drop dawn dish soap to one gallon water can’t use anything else auto flower perpetual grow half in flower half in veg always I hope it helps and didn’t hurt my buds and yes I have used lost coast and it effects flavor of the flower

      • Sorry…I don’t think Dawn is gonna help much, other than maybe kill some of what you can see on your plants.

        They are most definitely in your soil if you are seeing them on your plants. Dish soap won’t break the life cycle…They are tricky little fuckers, and very resilient. They can even go into “suspended animation” for extended periods. They are a serious vector for pathogens as well. Ugh…I hate em almost as much as mites.

        Monterey Garden Spray Spinosad is your friend here…I would soil drench for the flower ladies (I’m assuming they are far along in flower and you don’t wanna spray),and soil drench+spray for the veg ladies.

        Not heard of Lost Coast messing with flavors… Never had it happen myself… But maybe try Purecrop1. It’s essentially the same minus the aromatic essential oils. Also can be sprayed until harvest.

        I’m sure there are others ready to chime in with solutions as well. This is just how I have tackled it in the past. Good luck! In the words of the Hodge Twins:
