Ya gotta be careful with the aspirin in flower because it can cause flowers to hermie. Also I think it's better to spray aspirin after you kill the hrm.
Ive read that but, the stress alone could cause herms..aspirin relieves stress so.
Im going to give it to them after too

I found em...Im fucked :dead:

You found russets? You definitely need a good scope for em. 20x at the very least. I know indoors sulphur burners work as well as sulphur spray. I had them and killed off everything, bombed my space, and started over. Have not seen them in 2 years.

I remember reading about the "duds" and the ones in the sun seem to do better than under the lights.

the sun is powerfull..and makes the plants stronger..

Shitty bro.

What's the systemic residual presence of avid? I think it may be out of the question this late in the season, but if it's only 60 days or so it may be worth considering. For some reason I am thinking avid is like 100-120 day systemic. I've never used it though.

I agree man. that is 100% russet mites and they do suck bad. We had a Russet Mite breakout out here in one particular region and destroyed the whole valley's crops. No one knew what it was. It looks like a fungus with a furry brown/rust color especially on the fan leaves, you can see the haze on the top side of the leaves and follow the color along the viens till they meet at the base of the leafe stem. Everyone around here misdiagnosed it as Rust, and so I go out to that region and I pull out the microscope and BAM, billions of fuckers, so many that the leaves tinge brown/rust and they are so small it just looks like a dust or something. I will tell you that the only people who salvaged their gardens were the ones who used Avid in conjunction with the eggicide stuff that kills eggs, and they all used those atomizer sprayers where you could mist and cover every square millimeter of the plant. Its hard from your pics for me to say for sure, could you take a pic of the rust/brown "soot" on the tops of the leaves and the conjunction point where the fingers of the leaves meet the base of the water leaf stem. I can already see the "burning/dying" off look of some of your bud sites which is also a very good sign of those fuckers.

Thanks Caveman..Is Vitamin B ok in flower? I have read superthrive isnt.

I think they are probably on all the plants...a few are not showing any signs..
but they will be treated like they have em
Brewers yeast in a compost tea....AN makes something (organic-b) with it but I bet you could figure out an alternative to expensive bottled nutes ....fuck man really rooting for you and hope you don't have to use avid........call the number on the azamax bottle I've consistently talked to very knowledgeable customer service

I immediately ran out to my gardens in my greenhouse and aquaponic system. Nothing on my cannabis, but I did see some small tanish bugs and black excrement spots on one of my tester black turtle bean plants in my ap system. I immediately pulled it and burned with gasoline. I am so freaked out I took doc's organic bug killer and a few drops of dish liquid to the cannabis. Wishing you the best on this fight CGK!

Going down to the ranch tomorrow. Bringing my loop. I have not noticed anything but really have not been looking that hard. My plants are far enough apart that one could have something wrong and not get to the rest. Going to give them a good look. Keep us posted. Good Luck!!!!!
