Thrips: does anyone has experience with Amblyseius or Chrysoperla carnea?

[throwAwayNoob]

Fuck my life ... im just over the nutrient deficency and now there are thrips ... after reading i cant really bring myself to put chemicals on there nor do i want to use harmful organic alternatives ... does anyone ever tried amblyseius or Chrysoperla carnea ? I wonder how long it takes for this stuff to take effect and also how bad are thrips for my plants anyways ?

Thrips aren't that bad, but they are persistant. I spray with neem oil in veg regularly, and if I have to in bloom. I can usually keep them at bay for a week or two stretch, but they always come back because I typically get busy and only react instead of spray proactively. I imagine I'd have to let my room grow out, disinfect the crap out of it and let it sit empty a while if I wanted to rid myself entirely...but neem does keep them to a minimum. Not sure about those other things, really just wanted to comment on the seriousness level. Not too.
