I totally respect thAt... I'm a seed junky so I trash it and start over but ill keep working on an alternative to avoid avid in case I ever need it as for ones I care about who need to save clone onlys instead of starting over ill keep searching! PeaceIf you feel there is a safer alternative that's still effective, I'm all for it. I don't use pesticides lightly, and I certainly don't spray them just because the calendar says to; I target its use to a specific threat, and I generally work my way up the ladder from mild/organic stuff to the hard shit only if I'm not getting results.
I hear your concerns, but I find that people who criticize without offering specific alternatives to be unhelpful.
Russet mites are nasty, populate wildly, and are so small (microscopic, need 120x just to see them) that they get missed a lot in people's gardens, which means they have had the chance to become resistant to many insecticides already.

So if I mixed neem with it azamax...Dude. The first thing I said in my post was that I read pesticide warning labels for fun. The tip about mixing it with horticultural oil both makes less be more effective (always good) and makes it float in the air less, so it's not as bad to breathe.
No pesticide is completely safe. Fucking cinnamon oil will burn the shit out of you!
So, if you had them for awhile, have you noticed better plant health, better yields? In short is there a way to notice on or with the plant that you have them, other than a 120x microscope? We could be smoking bugs because someone overlooked them growing. I will be investing in a better microscope!

All right...here we go!Don't do this. Just use Azamax according to instructions. It's already carried by an oil; the very neem pool it's derived from!

Uh yeah; basically night and day. Infested plants look a bit listless, don't have many hairs and don't smell good. If humidity falls, the poor plants can quite literally get sucked completely dry. I improved nutrients, rdwc, climate, everything and couldn't figure it out until a buddy showed me- using my own own microscope. Go figure... Imagine how things look now, after the parasites are gone! Let's just say the $300 I recently spent on a new carbon filter was a good investment...
The microscope is the definitive method of identification.
Stress= balls on a bitch! At least that's what it looks like....idea's?
