Use 1.5 ml per gallon of non tap water and spay 3 days in a row at the same time when it gets dark...wear a respirator and gloves it's very poisonous make sure no animals are around when u spray

Thanks. I'll use that same rate to dunk my plants that way they'll get a full coverage. .

avid is 1.1 mil yes?

I just used this:

Conserve SC 3 mil per gallon
Forbid 4F 1.1 mil.

So great contact killer with conserve and 60 days killing with Forbid.
Ok this is on small plants 100 days out from flower.

Contact killer like avid! It drys them out!
However you have to do it every 7 days and it does knock them down severely!
But the Forbid takes out the eggs for 50 days.

If you use just forbid you can see living mites every few days hatch then die then hatch then die then hatch over and over and die.

dang, day 5 after spray and I see a taco leaf and then another then scope and some living russets and plenty of dead.

I see the Forbid is pray and wait 11 days for full effect as the eggs hatch.
I might IPM with something, some avid or nukem I dunno!

Im sure the new mites will just die and then no eggs = win!

Are new leafs protected with forbid?

to late to edit post,.

5 or so days after Forbid + Conserve and final spraying of Nukem 30 mill per half gallon of water (Using the "new old 2015"formula that is about 3x stronger)

And yes those are larva hatching next to a human hair!

100% kill rate! Id say Nukem is a great "Scrubber" to catch anything the hard stuff misses.

In a 5 Gallon bucket, I mixed 1 mil of avid to 4 gallons of water , with coco wet. I would like to foilar spray my plants with something to help with the harshness of the avid. Would you happen to have something in mind?? I was thinking maybe a beneficial tea.

1 mil is way to low. you could get super mites.
Also plants love avid.

Imagine waking up and having all your itchy skin gone?
Let alone life sucking maggots.

And after two weeks with the forbid I dont see anything!

I think avid is 1.2 mil a gallon. PH to 6.5

Some notes I have collected over the past 2 years.

Conserve SC I used 5 mil per gallon and PH to 5.7 for spray.
3ml per gallon (PH 5.5) Every 7 days.

(MIXED) Avid(1.2ml per gal) and Forbidf4 (1.2ml per gal) (MIXED)

For Spider Mites and Root Aphids
5ml per gallon (PH 5.5) Spray once a day till dead. Spray the top of the soil also. Then spray once a week.

Conserve SC factory label Application: 0.1 oz. per gallon of water (1 oz. per 10 gallons of water) = 3 mil

anyone have any experience with this product ?
I'm going to order some Andersoni amblyseius from them. I like their customer service and when I called they were more than willing to answer all of my questions about their products and shipping method.

The conclusion of trials with tomatoes ( ) was that no predatory mite is really effective in treating russet mites (some can at most slow it down). They specifically selected predators that were, I kid you not, least bothered by trichomes on tomatoes. Based on that alone it doesn't seem like they'd do well on cannabis.

I agree on the customer service, gentleman I spoke to was in the field and still talked to me for a good 1/2 hour. He suggested the above product for russets, says "suffoil" is" whatcha need"

I understand what the article says. But if you use something like avid, forbid or judo to knock them down and then introduce the predator mites they will hunt down any thing that might hatch. Check out ( his and her grow ) on YouTube. They were hit with rust mites in their gardens. They applied guardian mite spray, which later was found out to have the generic form of avid. After 4 application of it they used the predator mites to kill anything else that might have hatched.
