Fuck. Shit. Shit fuck. I have hemp russet mites. I attacked with
mighty wash and will repeat in 3 days. Everything I've read says they're the worst thing ever. But I've also found peoplewith small gardens that have successfully controlled them with
mighty wash. I used about a half gallon on 6 plants. That's a shit load. I broke a branch off the bubba in the process. It's ok, it's another sacrificial tester. Back to the russet mites and
mighty wash. I'll hit them with
mighty wash again in 3 days, then with power wash in 3 days, then it's harvest.
I have confidence that all is not lost for a few reasons. This does not seem to be an extreme infestation. While I found them on all the plants, there were not a lot. The plants all looked healthy, I just saw a leaf with browning in the center so I decided to scope it. Lo and behold, hemp russet mites. The only thing the plants are doing is their normal fade, but that does not seem rushed or abnormal. So I'll do my best and hope for the best. Wish me luck.
