If you lift your pots, there’s usually some thrip larvae squirming around in “da wet spot” at least in the case of a more advanced infestation…Hey,
Sure, and I’m journaling it all in “WWWillie Grows” too.
I must admit the hardest part was the diagnosis! I’ve been fairly lucky all these years with regards to infestations. Some fungus gnats, mites, PM. . . the usual suspects. The damage done by these thrips, to me, looked like a nutrient, light, environmental problem and not an insect infestation. Some of my nutrients we’re getting old so I replaced, new light, that HLG 650 R maybe too st7, I’ve had a soil recycling program going for a while, so lots of variables I usually don’t deal with.
I eventually figured it was something else and was treating it casually although I did wash down the room with a strong bleach, new pots and soil thinking that should do it. Put the clones in the dirt and after a week or so they started looking the same way with stunted, curling leaves, spots on the leaves and a general look of malnutrition. Looking closely I could see them on the leaves! I hung a yellow sticky to catch some for identification and after some research THRIPS!!!
That brings me to today after three different insecticides!

No Bread eh @Mossy - that would be classed as "Situation Critical' around these parts hoping you are well!
Thanks @Mañ'O'Green - got to do my bit after seeing all your wonderful cooking , also did not know you were a big diver (saw it in the post about vaccines) - where are your favorite places to go? I can't get enough of the Red Sea, either Egypt or Saudi side, Yemen was always good with plenty of Black tips keeping an eye when you float by, and Turtles around Fujairah where they seem to hang out all year. Tried diving over here at Lundy Island a while back and saw the most insane amount of crabs walking around in their thousands but that was about it
