Happy Little Buds
Happy sap galore!
I think I finally defeated my thrip infestation, seeing a lot more happy sap.

Defeating thrips is a feat worthy of a medal!
How long has it been since you've seen one?

Thank you, it has taken me 1.5 years. I haven't seen a thrip or thrip damage for over 2 weeks. |

I just went through my notes. 25 plants treated in 2022 already.
According to my notes one plant needed 6 repeat treatments and one was free for 3 whole months after which they came back again.
I know I should get better poison, and I did tell myself I was going to but I keep telling myself that was the last of them.

One other time I thought I had them beat and they came back, so I am not 100% confident. That being said I can spot/differentiate early thrip damage like a pro now and I feel good about what I am seeing on newly open flowers.
I did 10 treatments, 3 days apart, alternating Conserve (spinosad) and pyrethrin. I also did an imidaclopird drench on the soil. I removed all open flowers at the start of treatment. I defoliated all catasetinae and lycaste first because thrips survive on their leaves. |

Wow you really went full throttle on them, but from what I've read thats what it takes.
Fingers crossed for you. |

Thanks for checking on this, I would have forgotten to follow up. The bloom was fantastic, but I forgot to get a picture. Luckily round two opened (the spike emerging in the BG in the original pic) yesterday, here is a pic I just took
Also, still no thrips!! It has been incredible enjoying thrip free blooms this month
