Help ,thrips?

[xerow01]

Hey guys,

i'm in my first grow and my plants are flowering.
I noticed today that i have bugs on my plants, my first gues is trips.
The plant looks fairly healthy in my opinion and i gues im close to harvest , few more weeks?
What should i do, i have neem oil but i'm worried since the plant is in flower.
Can i just ride it out and wait for harvest?

<-- those are trichomes mate, I see no sign of thrip damage which is tell-tale,... look it up online and you'll see....

Yea i see the trichomes but there are also 2 small bugs on the leaves if you look closer. the yellow/brownish ones.

At the moment i know it for sure , i get the silver trailing on the leaves aswell.
So i try to pick the damaged leaves and i spray with a neem oil solution aswell.
Hopefully this helps...

...ah, I see them now! .... look into getting something else to zap them, neem is very oily, stinky, high residue... a product with spinosad is great, low residue levels, more effective IMO,... Capt'n Jacks Dead Bug is a common product with it... Thrips are very mobile, adults can fly, so scope out the whole grow!
