russet mites

[Growfellaz]

Iv sprayed dyna neem for prevention a while ago and I did not read instructions on "adding dish soap" to it fuckin retarded...but hey it happens so I noticed spider mites getting out of control and I continue to spray dyna for a week or two and they would not die they kept comming back harder to where one of my plant is turning brown on the tops of the bottom of plant and i had webs on some top buds i have switched to bonide neem oil and seem to kill the spider mites so far but still this is nothimg i ever seen from spider mites has any one every experienced this with full blown spider mites? Some leaves are twisting around the small flowers and on one bud iv seen what looks like mold they are already 2 weeks into flower....now iv delt with russet mites before but i am hoping this is not the case...so my main question is can spider mites cause this much damage to where buds turn brown

 

[The Humanure]

no, they can web up on mature buds. that is russets on yours.
Are these huge 8 footers? If they dinky then id scrap and start over then dip with avid on noobs.

I absoutley do not know what to do in my area. We used all the "Big guns" and BOOM they appeared like that over night.
I hit them with avid with 45 days till harvest.

what ya guna do in this day an age I did beneficial, neem cake in soil, bug traps, nukem, Conserve SC and they came back?
I have an idea this is going on all over (late spraying)

Thank god I only have plants in week 2 as I only grew blue dream.

They are only on one plant that I see these plants are only 4 footers and not that bad iv had worse last year they almost took over the whole yard but we did avid every 2 days for 2 weeks and I haven't seen any till now...i don't want to use avid this year I'm scared they will get use to it and I will never kill them so I'm going to try a different trick for now

Any one ever use green cleaner?

Not sure if it's what you have- but that looks identical to the russet mite damage I experienced a couple years ago. The vector plants were just destroyed by those fuckers.

They are minuscule and not visible to the eye. I saw what looked like a beige or off white fungus on the main stem of the vector plant, scraped it with my fingernail and looked under the scope... All mites, thousands just on the tip of my fingernail. But yes they also ate the pistils with fury, it was the first indication that something was off.

Good luck I hope it's something else, russets are the worst pest I've experienced so far.

Curious if russets were your true problem because russets are easily defeated in my experience spinocide does the trick

Green cleaner is highly effective but will literally rinse the trichomes from the plant . Use as a preventative in veg lightly. It will burn your plants!

we put green cleaner on our finishing greenhouse. scoped it and the tricombes are perfect.

Hay there buddy, I have Conserve SC. Have you killed them well with that? (22% spiniosad)
I had to hit them with the hard stuff, still 45 days before harvest or longer. I hated doing it.

Iv never really trusted organics or biologic alone.

 

[The Humanure]

Thank you for that.

Yeah we purchased a gallon just to have around. Our greenhouse was free of russets after dosing with AVID in EARLY early veg. We quickly got power mildew on the greenhouse and used green cleaner and as a side effect no russets!

Is this the stuff you are talking about it looks bit dusty like it's been there for a while and you can see residue stuck in the inside of the bottle you think it's still good?

There should be an experation date on it. If it's not passed it it will work. Go on you tube and check out his and her grow. They were dealingwith russet mites. They won and have explained how they went about it. Yes that is the product. Use distilled water or ro water

At the large recreational grow I work for we used green cleaner every other day with an atomizer and left lights off for hours after spraying. It's effective probobly for small mite populations but honestly the only way we as a team were able to kill those mites was heat. 120 Fahrenheit for 2hours every ten days

Turned on all grow lights at 6am and slowly cranked the thermostat a few degrees every 20 minutes or so. Heat must be raised GRADUALLY in order to keep optimal plant growth. So we just took a paper and put down every 15 minutes, 6am, 6:15, 6:30 and so on, going in the room, recording the temp, checking the plants and raising the thermostat as needed. Once the thermostat was at 99 and could not go any higher we then closed the vents to keep the air in the room. THEN we opened the glass on the lights as well.

If you want to do heat at home, I say just go slow, and try one thing at a time, ie thermostat then closing the vents, then opening the glass and so on ...

Guys, can you rotate to brake the multiple sprays per year rule with Conserve?
Iv used it 3x already but have mixed in Nukem and others.

Does it take jsut one other spray before I can spray Conserve SC again?
