I fought these fuckers all season outdoors. By the time I knew what they were, they had damn near taken over. Probably cost me 25% or so of my crop. Now using avid and sulfur for my next round of greenhouse girls. So far so good. I am thinking that even if you get them, and cant get rid of all of them, if you can just keep them at bay by using the nasty stuff during veg, once they do flower you can switch to something more gentle ie. nukem, flying skull, etc.

Still 45 days before harvest when I dosed with avid and forbid.
It had them 100% dead in 10 days.
I Had russets in early preflower. The forbidavid combo did the job. In the end we had no bug damage at all. On our second harvest of the same plants. took tops and the bottoms are now getting hard again. Will pull 5+ lbs on the plant.
How the he'll can you pull 5lbs from a single plant? You are outdoors? I'm in a grow tent and I'm getting decent tops but popcorn everywhere else..maybe the wromg place for this post but what is your set up? I NEED 5lbs per plant. How do u do it?
1. Start with seed in February in 45 gallon pots.
2. Feed 1200 ppm every day with high quality food.
I use GH flora 3 part with 2 teas a week.8
4. I pay workers every day to train plants.
5. Most important 7 foot concrete cages.
6. I use 4 foot cattle wire in the inside of the plant to keep it straight.
Have 20k liquid on hand for plant food.
I can go to town with 2k and still end up at the atm machine.
