To begin an FYI to anyone thinking about buying Happy Frog soil from Fox Farms, consider purchasing some Neem oil the same day. I'm about 75% sure this infestation started from their soil.
I've never seen bugs this bad, and they are eating away at the two surviving clones of a strain that desperately needs saving. Has anyone ever had thrips wipe their shit out?
Anyone have some home remedies or special tactics? They'll be getting some good Neem oil today and it will be applied for as long as it takes, but if there are any short-cuts I'd like to know of them.

I'm anal about that shit, I always dunk my clones in neem, and then I put them in isolation for 3 days and observe them to spot any infections, and then finally 3 weeks of spraying them in veg, to make sure the eggs die.
I brought a piece of wood from the lumber yard into a grow once and I got mites because I wasn't thinking.

ya Ive had many problems with thrips.. Ive found the best way to minimize them is to spray entire plant, pot and visible soil with GH azamax once a week. http://www.generalhydroponics.com/genhydro_US/azamax.html
It has Neem oil in it you should be able to find it at any grow shop
