i have already also released about 20 lady bugs i found around the house.
Neem oil with distilled water in a spray bottle spray every three days for a few weeks but not the last two or three weeks of flower mix a ratio of 1/8 in little 1 litre spray bottle bud
Neem oil can be purchased on eBay or amazon
Also spray under the fans really good to the point it dripping off the leaves . Hit the stem too .
I would do this about half hr before lights out .

See if you can find these near you, Orius laevigatus and O. majusculus they will devour thrips and they are airborne so they'll spread out easily in the growroom
