Try a neem oil based pesticide, or similar spray thats good for consumables. Should help out anyway. i just discovered thrips the other day and got some stuff at home depot called rose Rx 3-in-1. its made from neem seed oil, So Im hoping it does the trick. I should know in a couple days. Good luck, hope it helps.

Here's a good resource for using neem oil:

Neem Oil As Organic Insecticide | Neem Oil

Organic Insecticide: How to Apply:

Mix 70% Neem Oil at the rate of 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) per gallon of water.

Thoroughly mix solution and spray all plant surfaces (including undersides of leaves) until completely wet.

Organic Insecticide: When to Apply:

When applied as a preventative, neem oil should be applied on a 7 to 14 day schedule, say the manufacturers of 70% Neem Oil.

To control a pest or disease already present, they recommend an application of neem oil on a 7 day schedule.

hey lostandazed, if you said your 1 week in to flower you would be ok to use the neem,
neem dose work but i would not use it if you are close to harvest, the taste in your product that neem leaves behind if not flushed out completely is messed up, a lot of people here use the hot shot pest strips sold at home depot and most all other stores for a bout 7 bucks with tax, go to the grow room here and check out the problem pest & disease control section very good info.

Hot shot is a pesticide. Read the label. Neem seems to be the growers choice.

Something to keep in mind is spider mites develop a tolerance to pesticides quickly, so they recommended not using any spray more than twice before changing up types of spray. I just read an article in Maximum Yield.
