In the event it does not, what definitely will is the following mix;
60 ml Azamax or Azatrol oil based pesticide(not the powder 'azasol')
3 ml Avid
Mix with one gallon very warm water, shake well and spray immediately. It doesn't keep well, but it gives good coverage. This mix ratio is proportional; mixing a quarter of all the ingredients works the same.
Repeat application between 8-16 days after the initial application, then monitor for signs of reemergence. I got almost three months' control.
I doubled the bottle recommendation of 21 days to harvest- since we're inside, I think it takes l longer to dissipate. I recommend 45 days to harvest but no closer.
Azamax and Azatrol are both organic, OMRI listed. Avid is a man-made pesticide, so act accordingly. This mix is effective on multiple levels and should be considered if your russet mite problem has gotten serious.
Azamax, etc, is an anti feedant and retards maturation and breeding. It is carried in neem oil, itself a horticultural oil.
Avid's label suggests use of a horticultural oil- coincidentally at the same dose as is on the Azamax label- to extend the persistence, or active effective duration, of the product. HENCE MY SUGGESTION ABOVE NOT TO USE IT ANYTIME WITHIN 45 DAYS OF HARVEST. Avid is persistent stuff. Treat it with respect. Believe me, label strength is plenty in this mix!
I can say from experience this combination is very effective.
Or you could spray with the foliar pack and not use any chemicals, not have to worry about 45 days. Not have to worry about using mad protective gear, and not have to worry about poisoning yourself or the environment.. :cigar:
If you want to use azatrol you need to wait at least a week before/after applying bennies.
Russet mites are one you may have to go nuclear on. They are gnarly. For upkeep nothing beats caps gear, but for a heavy russet infestation I hit them with floramite, 3 days later took clones for preservation and dunked them in forbid and got rid of the plants. You don't have to go that far, but I'm building a new grow and don't want to risk infesting the new site. First run in months with no ogbiowar and I get russets... That's saying something though
How would the use of mighty wash effect the bennies on the leaf? Does it wash them off/kill them? I was spraying with teas for a couple weeks then saw a small mite problem that needed to be corrected. So I used mighty wash which is ionized water, but now I'm worried I killed all the bennies I had on leaf surfaces. How far into flower are you spraying teas Cap? Up until flower?
Half the dosing rate that's on the label? If you do that, you're selecting out for resistance. Follow the label directions (which includes a limited number of applications per season, as does Forbid).
