    russet mites

    Pics seem to work for me. Garden looks real nice, seriously hope you got those russets beat. Looking up EcoSmart they have a few products, but seem to be based on essential oils. I use essential oils in my IPM, but found they need hours of darkness after applying, otherwise they can burn the...

    Hoops And Flowers

    Sounds about right to me. Might help, so I'll add: P1 stands for Parental generation. Those Parents create first filial generation, or f1. You can cross these sibling together for an f2. In your case sounds like two siblings are from an earlier cross? Same parents? Crossing them together would...

    Hoops And Flowers

    Looking good. And just to share what I understand IBL to mean: IBL refers to a true breeding plant (homozygous) that has been breed for generations selecting the traits desired until those genes reliably reproduce the traits you want. Basically a breeders attempt to get a seed population as...

    russet mites

    Got mine yesterday and did the first spray last night. Definitely weird stuff and interested to hear what you find out. Plan on emailing them too. It says it already has an emulsifier in the mix and it will mix easily with water. It didn't. I added Agsil and didn't seem to help. Doing another...

    Large plants dying

    I lost a few plants this year looking just like that. I'm in extremely dry and hot conditions. I've since been watering heavy with yucca or aloe everyday and haven't had the issues since but have wondered if it was maybe something more.

    Eriophyid mites-the hemp russet mite

Some guys were saying Avid didn't even work in their garden but the only things that did seem to work was that Foliar Pack and the Met52, when caught early enough. One buddy...

    russet mites

    That Aloe Vera juice should work just fine. I use the 200x powder to avoid those additives but seen plenty people use that with zero issues. Generally at 1/4 cup a gallon. An affordable silica option is that AgSil 16h. A powder form, you can mix up your own Protekt for fraction of the price.

    Eriophyid mites-the hemp russet mite

    Ya, I first tried usuing a regular 30x jewlers loop, no way. Saw your video, and at 400x they are still tiny. Used the 100x a bunch today and still not a definite id, but I got a feeling. Ordering the Met52. Thanks for a quick response. Been spraying a rotation of azatrol and Bt along with an...

    Eriophyid mites-the hemp russet mite

    So Met52 is your guys go to right now? About to order some up. I just read both of your guys threads. I think I may be dealing with a similar issue, in a similar area. Appreciate you both taking the time to post. Noticed a few earlier flowering plants with almost all dead stigmas. One had some...
