Speckles on plant put into flowering?

Umm....flame....
Lots and lots of flame.....

heh there's more than one way to skin a cat I suppose.. I interpret this last to mean, send those buggies to their firey demise... a flamethrower perhaps? The shops need to start stocking those things, lol!

Thanks stinky! I wasn't quite sure what was getting flamed, but a delightful picture does come to mind....bugs (thrips) engulfed in flames....at least in this application!

We picked up the bonide rotenone with pyrethrins, and applied it today. Haven't been able to find a bomb, but still looking at various garden centers.

Sprayed down the plants, and plan to continue to do so until improvement shows

[stinkyattic]

Okay don't forget to knock off the rotenone like, SOON, before you get bud formation. It takes a while to break down. Also since it is so strong, be careful of possible light sensitivity if you overdo it. It shoudn't take too much, promise! Like only a couple applications. And keeping your temps low slows down trhip reproduction.

Sigh. all the stress turned 2 of the plants hermie.

this suuucks

Dude, I'm so there with you, I just lost a BC-III to hermie from stress from my mistreatment of thirps. Hopefully I caught it and eliminated it in time. I have 2 rooted clones of the same plant and I'm wondering whether to keep them or not...

I am going to be searching out bug bombs today. Hopefully the one garden store in my area will have them.

start hanging a No-Pest Strip in your room (not necessary for it to be in the cabinet, etc. itself), and you will probably never have a bug problem - remove it a couple weeks before harvest - I've used them for many years, never a bug, and no noticeable surge in brain damage :wtf: just kidding, they are safe enough :smokin:

how about putting the plant in the fridge (if you have a spare, empty fridge...) not cold enough to kill the plant, (some stress) but it slows the plants processes, think clones or fresh-cut flowers :stoned:; cold enough to kill most any insect found on plant or in soil, check the fridge temps first though;
an hour or so of the low 40's should do the trick; or at least break the life cycle in more than one stage.
