Bugs in my bud at harvest!!!! Please help!!

[blink_inc]

Damn things.

Just found hundreds of little bugs in the bud as I am clipping them down.

They don't look like spidermites, rather like tiny thin black worms, almost pointy. There a lots of them!!

A picture isn't really possible as they are so small.

Any thoughts? Is my entire harvest doomed?
I had some in my last harvest however they went away after I jarred everything and started curing.

Can I spray something? I would rather not spray a finished product.


Any help or suggestions would help out.
Thanks.

Blink - Search "thrips" and see if they are the pest you have.

There's a pic of thrip larva here:

And this is a good guide for other pests,

Good luck solving your problem. It's a damn shame when something like this comes up right at harvest. I don't suppose smoking a few dead bugs would be such a bad thing - if you can kill them before they destroy your buds.

giving the plants a shake seems to have at least minimized what is left on the bud.

I had some last time as well like I mentioned and ten days into cure they are gone.

Thanks for the info, they are good guides.
