Good call on the neem. Great way to handle them in veg.

I had not a clue how to handle the thirps. I was going to submerge the whole plant and root ball into 30% H2O2 and leave them there for 20 minutes. I was steered straight by @InTheShed who told me how he handles the little bastads.

@Kismet How you like too make your hash?...…...I bought a pollen sifter from Green Goddess with a 100 micron screen. I let my trim dry till it's crunchy and run it through the sifter collecting all the trichromes. I then press them into a small square while wrapped in parchment paper. Then I fire up the clothes iron and set it to about medium heat and with it still wrapped in the parchment paper I iron it. Flip it, iron it, flip it, iron it. Till it's a solid small block.
Thrips are really easy Beez. That Neem will bust them up good and have them gone in no time.

Well I knew it was only a matter of time!!I was looking at my Alien OG clone today and saw this on two of its leaves. I saw nothing moving underneath the leaves. Right next to her is a Killer A5 Haze clone that also has some white spots of a few leaves. I saw itty bitty critters crawling on the underside of the one leaf with white spots I looked at. So it appears I have thirps? I ordered a pint of Southern Ag Neem oil off of Amazon which will be delivered on Monday.
Hey @beez0404 , I'm just swinging by to see how a healthy Peyote WiFi grows out.
Do you use anything else besides Neem oil?
Would yellow bug strips or diatomaceous earth earth help as well?

I don't have any issues in my flowering tent. Those four plants are just fine. And I've never had crawling or flying pests before so this is a learning experience for me. I'm going to follow a neem oil plan recommended to me by @InTheShed and I'm sure the problem will be taken care of within a couple weeks of treatment. With luck the young plant affected won't suffer too much.
That’s crazy Beez! I wonder how you got them?? Were they from the KA5?

This is the organic peyote Wi-Fi was about 2/3 weeks to go till Harvest. Her bud have swollen up to about the size of golf balls. In the last few days I am noticing an Aroma of the normal fuel and Earth. But now I am picking up a citrus fragrance coming from the organic plant. Here's a picture I snapped of her this morning at flip + 42 days.
That's the one! 2-3 tsp in a 32oz spray bottle. Shake shake spray!
Excellent frost.

How do you spray just the bottoms of the leaves? I can see how it could be done as a 2 person job. I know some guys I've seen buy one of those outdoor sprayers with the hose and spray wand on the end. I think that would make it easier to spray the underside of the leaves. I believe I'll wear a pair of furniture staining gloves and do them one or a few leaves at a time the first time to be really thorough.
For bigger plants, I tip the plant away from me, spray, rotate, spray. For 1 gallon pots I pick them up and hold them at an angle.
For bigger plants in a tight tent, you could try a Hudson with a wand. Just don't breathe it in.

I'm dealing with small clones so I should be able to wet the underside of the leaves really well. The directions say to spray every 7 days. Was it you who said to spray every 3 days or was the Bob Brown??
That was me, and there is no reason you can't get the tops of the leaves wet. I do the undersides, put down the pot, and then spray the tops.

Every 3 days is what I used for that enemy. Thrips might be different. Labels probably right as it would be determined by the life cycles and those time frames.

I sprayed all the vegging plants I think were possibly affected by the critters and will do it every 3 days for I guess 2 weeks.
Neem drenches works well too. Neem becomes systemic in the plant, so the thrips can’t eat it.

Where's the King Of Neem? @Kingjoe83 . Shed is equally skilled at battling buggers though so you are in good hands.
I really wanted a g goddess sifter but they were sold out before xmas so went with a smaller ryot shaker was shaking flower though haven't tried running trim and won't through it. You freeze your trim before sift beez? Oh and i tried the ironing thing but i suck at ironing. Just don't do it. So i bought a 15 or 20 dollar pollen press and cut out parchment paper size coins. Too put in between the presses. Then put it in the oven at 300 for 4 minutes then crank it all the way down. Let it cool and poof hash coin.
I use the cold press organic neem oil in liquid form I use about 5-6 ml if infestation is apparent per liter of my tap water . Re spray every three days bud until pest are no more ? Why every three days because even if you kill adults they lay eggs and you can't see them very hard too and you kill adults but then small new babies are born after . Neem oil is good for things that chew on your nutrients.Well I knew it was only a matter of time!!
