Please help severe russet mites damage should i just kill the plants 2
Hi fellow farmers. My plants were 100% healthy and normal but after Canna AkTriVator they were infested by russet mites. Severely. I assume thebatch of Canna AkTriVator was infested. I applied potassium soap 3 times over 8 days but no healthy growth appeared. I also applied Muskaria on the leaves and bactofil in the roots but the growth was still very wrinkly and sickly. Today I've had enough and removed all the infectex areas, leaving only a few fan leaves.
Is there a chance for a healthy growth to spur, or is it better to kill and plant new seeds, as I don't want to spend electricity and expensive nutrients on dying plants.

You're only growing leaves now. Too much had to be removed so it is better to just start a new set of seeds. New seeds that do not run into this same issue will easily outgrow these current plants if they do recover.

Looks more like you topped the whole plant? You need to have at least the side shoots soo they can grow to become the plant and you removed every single one.

And next time use neem oil in veg super safe and kills everything

They were very damaged and the growth was very crooked. Will buy neem oil and sulfur just in case. So do you think I should just kill and start over?

Sorry you got hit so hard. The only bright side is that you werent very far into the grow.

Think like an outside grower. Bugs that eat plants are drawn to their food source no matter where it is. Gotta have a pest management strategy from day one and that goes for indoors too. A good pest management strategy doesn't rely on a single thing or product. Use multiple approaches that provide layers of protection. That's how you beat bugs but even when you beat them they are still on your plant you just win by not letting them take everything.
