Ive found nothing that works as good and consistent as spinosad for thrip eradication. Also its pretty safe to use and spray. Its good to rotate stuff, but I don't think that's the case with spinosad. Just wipe them out completely, keep clean, and quarantine new stuff.

I've always had issues with the spray can and don't use it now. It would dry the hell out of section of plant I sprayed. I used a broad stroke when spraying also.
Which ever method do a good job and take preventive measures after you eradicate.

So if youve been following for awhile by now u probably have noticed i cant stay to long on one thing. unless its really really really solid an bulletproof.

so been messing with teas an trying a slightly different approach to the ppk. a drain to waste soil based ppk.

since i dont have a nutrient analyzer on hand, yet. i figured why not try this approach. a drain to waste ppk. as every time a nutrient flushes thru the medium something is absorbed, an whats not absorbed is left behind. instead of having whats left behind constantly build & circulate, then cause issues/antagonisms , remove it after some use. Now every feed is fresh an " Full ", not striped, and or not in excess of any certain nutrient or nutrients.

still keeping the tailpiece in the lower bucket but with only like 5 inches of water till the float avtivates an drops the water level a little.

the topoff container is full strength.
autotop off still into the working rez.
tea brewer hi air environment, feed from there to the plants.
drips down an back to the yellow bucket which is independently sealed from the main rez.
in the yellow bucket a float valve is set to drain about inch or 2 of the returned nute. always leaving 5-6 inches in the system for the tailpiece to use.

same amount of input. except removing it after one use. if it doesnt work. it will take a few minutes to set back to " normal PPK"

next step i will be taking the drain an holding it so it can be used in the veg rooms. again, it only has one run thru. there is plenty of nutrient to feed the less demanding vegging plants.

I have had thrips for years, I keep them from taking over with weekly application of cucumeris. Cucumeris never win the battle entirely so it's a never ending battle. Thrips do not seem to be as big a problem in the flower room. I never spray anything, I just put up with them, it works for me, sort of.
