Russet mites when young you will not be able to see with the naked eye until they develop to adulthood and you will still need a jewelers loop to see them.
There nothing like your run of the mill spider mites.

First time I had them I got a fire og back from a friend. He said he had thrips (lol) it wasn’t till mid flower when I saw a plant that had a reddish copper dust on the leaves, and as I stared at it the shit was moving. (Wasn’t doing mushrooms back then )
Then I got a scope and looked, billions and billions of them. Never seen anything like it before.

I have read good stuff about Smite?
You have to treat with something that kills the eggs to break life cycle.

OK, let me borrow those expert eyes growmies, none of this is moving, but clearly not part of the plant.

I could see them under my eye lids for a week after what I found them. Fuckers are from another planet.

 

[Moe.Red]

Time for a shower and a coffee. If anybody has anything else they want me to try, I'll be back in 30 mins.

Sorry man.
Your picture of the 'gathering' came from this site ; https://sensigarden.com/russet-mites-cannabis/
Which links to this interesting site ; https://agsci.colostate.edu/hempinsects/hemp-insects-text/
Leading to this link ; https://webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/hempinsects/PDFs/Hemp Russet Mite Revision December 2018.pdf
Interesting information in all 3 links.
Last one says they can be so small you need 15-20x magnification?

It’s doubtful you have them if you haven’t identified them yet. By the time you see damage they should be everywhere.

Look at the petiole where they meet the stalk… almost a clear or yellowish tiny bump

 

[1diesel1]

Spy balloons?
Nitrous balloons?
Mite eggs?

Is it too late to vote for Spy Ballons?
I hear they can be easily dealt with.

 

[SweetLeafGrow]
