Wikipedia: Freshwater-derived food grade diatomaceous earth is the type used in United States agriculture for grain storage, as feed supplement, and as an insecticide. It is produceduncalcinated, has a very fine particle size, and is very low in crystal silica (<2%). Salt-water-derived pool/...

Ken, I really appreciate your recommendation and picture of the paint sprayer. I got a similar model and it has made a huge difference. But here's the thing- I do most of my spraying with the nozzle reversed because it puts more solution on the leaves/buds that I'm targeting. Using the nozzle...

This evening I saw some twisting on very young leaf growth. I'm just going to wait until after the rain tomorrow and then I'm gonna hit 'em with the conserve again. No sense in wasting time with Movento or Dr. Zymes when I'm not certain about their effectiveness.

I recently sprayed my garden with Conserve SC for the first time. I did it at 6 ml per gallon and I never saw any negative effects, but I only sprayed during times of lower temps. and little direct sunlight. This was also my first time using my new handy-dandy Magnum X5 paint sprayer! (Major...

Garden Update: The evening supplemental lighting has definitely done the trick of delaying flowering and allowing the girls to get bigger. Thanks for the info on frass vs. Met 52. I just got done with a treatment of Dr. Zymes. Next I'm going to spray with frass tea bubbled for 2 hrs., then...

Thank you for that insight. So it sounds like the frass could help generate more of the microbes in Met 52 then? I tried a hudson fogger and I didn't really like it. I had to stand way back in order to not have the mist blow right through the plants. Also, it was easy to get the center of...

I sprayed that Dr. Zymes on part of my garden tonight. After I was almost finsihed I realized that I had forgotten to do a water wash first to wash off the remaining sulfur that I had sprayed a few days ago. I had been concerned that the sulfur would have a negative effect on the enzymes...

I'm not knocking Conserve. Spinosad has been a great weapon for me in the past. I just didn't realize it was effective on Russets. I'm open to whatever works.

I went to two grow-shops today to look for any new info was on fighting the Russets. Here's is the latest product. Both stores are selling it like crazy.

Thanks nightmare for the Conserve recommendation. I have a couple of bottle of Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew Concentrate which has the same active ingredient Spinosad. Is there anything in particular different about the Conserve? I thought it was reported that Spinosad didn't work against...

Newly hatched larvae are very small little sausage-like guys. They're little pink guys in the pictures I posted earlier in this thread. In Venial's pics they are the little orange sausages. Their color just depends the lighting. When they are very young larvae they can barely be seen with my...

Those are definitely larvae. It might be easier to see if you try adjusting the type and brightness of lighting in order to get the best contrast between bug and plant. It can be helpful to try a variety of light sources: halogen lamp, LED flashlight and/or the scope's light. The lighting...

Definitely need AT LEAST 100x to see the russets at all stages of life. I believe the ones in the pictures I posted were freshly hatched larvae cuz I could see some of them that were the same size still in their eggs. But even using 100x scope they weren't obvious. It's easier to see in the...

The worst thing you can do is declare victory prematurely. I had gone through 3 applications of Avid and 2 applications of Forbid, both with a non-ionic surfactant. I couldn't find anything moving in my 100x scope. The only thing I saw were some eggs, some amber, some cloudy, some clear. So...

Thanks Seamaiden. I've been reading through that thread over several days but it's a lot to take in. Ken: Thanks for the input. I've been questioning whether the sprays might have caused damage but if that were the case then it would have to be the surfactant because that's the only thing...

Hey guys. . I meant to get back with an update sooner but I've been dealing with a life or death battle: RUSSET MITES!!! I have never had these little fucks before. When I came to the area and heard about it I just didn't take it seriously because everything I grow, whether clone or seedling...

Wow! I really appreciate all the thoughtful responses. SunGrown: I'm off-grid but it definitely seems worth the propane given the situation. Totally agree about 3000 ft being a better elevation. Things haven't been so bad lately but a few weeks ago my girls were getting rocked by the heat...

Basically we got a late start on transplanting and now we're trying to figure out a way to catch up. My thought is that, similar to how people put plants out in the early spring with lights to keep them from flowering, it might work out best if we put lights out so that the girls have a chance...
