Have you tried posting a thread under Plant Problems? There's a Copy/paste form that you can fill out. Rusty might be able to nail it down, but he doesn't frequent the grow logs. Try over there

As for thrips, I've used Fox Farm "Dont Bug Me" spray it knocks them little fuckers out right quick,... typically needs 2 apps about a week apart, It's a little late, but overall shouldn't effect the buds as they still have over a month before they're done. Make sure you lightly mist the soil. Adults have wings and cause the visible damage I see in the pics, larva make mites look huge and have to migrate into the soil to pupate, so get the soil to kill them too. It don't take much.


I've up potted in week 2 of flower with nil problems, as long as it's done right it doesn't stress the plant much. Tip on up potting, do it right before lights off, this allows the roots time to recover while the leaves aren't demanding lots of circulation and nute uptake.

Good luck!
