Forgot to mention; I run perpetual, so time is a major factor and I don't have the benefit of those in-between harvest times where the rooms are empty.
Much love Tnelz, I have a quart bottle of Conserve SC in my shopping cart and will most definitely be using it in the place of Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew. Just wish I have known sooner :/ I honestly never even considered the concentration of spinosads being a factor, I just assumed that all spinosads products were created equal, so naive.Just for the record. Conserve is an organic alternative with the power of heavy chemicals. In saying that do what u gotta do brother. Plenty of people will jump all over u but they r ur plants. If u need to go nuclear do it. The biggest issue people may have is not letting others know that u treated with chemicals and those people not knowing what they may or may not be smoking. But save ur ladies man. I know how much work it takes to keep a nice garden. In the future though preventative matinence will keep u safe most times. Spray bacterial teas, caps foliar even the recipe the bro above posted. Once a month with each on a rotating basis. Good luck bro.
I've been using AzaMax and have heard of a lot of people having success with it. The problem I have with AzaMax is it seems to be a bit slower acting and I run perpetual, so if I take the girls into the bloom room, I suspect the little bastards will just evacuate and move to the other girls that are in bloom, which I don't feel comfortable spraying.Azamax or azatrol and ur done. 1tsp per gal of nutrient solution and drench the roots. Do it again in 2 wks.
You got me sold, bro. Placing the order now.That's the magic of spinosad. No resistance. At least at this point.
I'm gonna give it another go, I have cuts sitting in AzaMax. Since it is a systemic I was hoping the cuts would soak it up and keep the mites off of them.Dont let that article scare you I'm still runnin the gear now as when I ran a mite ranch. In my particular experience the mites were only a symptom of a bigger problem. .. not keeping my game tight I have since started using compost tea regularly (which I give a lot of credit to) and keep healthier plants in general. anytime i think they might be staging a comeback i just water them w a little aza. Btw when i transplant fom clone i use it as an opportunity to fill a 5 gal bucket w aza solution of 1tsp per gal and dunk the whole entire plant. "WE NEED TOTAL COVERAGE"
I don't recall Tx rates for those products, but my advice is to use precisely their Tx rates and methodology. I believe you need one more single-site mode of action miticide here, IIRC. I would not mix, I would hit withI know a lot of you guys (and gals) are against the heavy duty pesticides, and for good reason, but that is the route I have to take, as it seems the most reliable. I am being Blitzkrieged by these pest. If anyone has any experience or recommendations on dosage/application, I would be forever grateful.
My plan is to hit them heavy with Forbid 4F @ 1 ml per gallon and then follow-up with Floramite @ 1/4th teaspoon 3 days later. Now both of the products say they are compatible with other pesticides and I see a lot of guys mixing them, does anyone have any experience or recommendations for this?
After this initial application I will hang Hot Shot NoPest strips and continue to apply AzaMax (although it seems AzaMax is better for prevention and works on a much longer timescale).
If anyone has any advice, recommendations or thoughts on this, I would love to hear it, thanks!
This is true of all products, Neem is another example. Trilogy used to be a 90% neem, IIRC, now it's 70%, as another example. DiPel is concentrated Btk, as another.Much love Tnelz, I have a quart bottle of Conserve SC in my shopping cart and will most definitely be using it in the place of Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew.

From what I understand that is a tell-tale sign of Broad Mites. Just based on what I have read.By the looks of it theres more than just pests goin wrong. Why do u suppose the leaf edges are curled up like that?

Yes, it sure can be. What does the new growth look like? Go through @caregiverken 's thread on russet mites, IIRC he ended up using diatomaceous earth through one of those squirter thingies and it was very effective.From what I understand that is a tell-tale sign of Broad Mites.

I wish I could. At this point, I think if you don't have time/funds to get the organic products that control these pests, you're going to have to go full nuclear. Along with the mask and Tyvek suit you want some kind of booties to cover your feet, and I would also recommend chemical resistant gloves. Learn and understand what the worker protection safety standards are and how they apply to you. Also learn and know about re-entry periods post-treatment, this is just as important as the protection when applying these products.I initially thought it was due to a spike in humidity from the foliar spraying, as it only started with a couple young leaves after spraying AzaMax. Now a good amount of the younger leaves are curling-up like this. This is such a nightmare!
After Seamaiden mentioned Broad Mites I did a little research and learned it is a symptom of Broad Mites. I took a sample, put it into a air-tight bag and threw it under the microscope and this is what I found.
Laaaaaawwwwwdddd, PLEASE tell me I don't have Broad Mites :(
The sound advise is much appreciated Seamaiden! The Tyvek suit covers the feet and I plan to wear nitrile gloves. I know they are kinda short, but that's the best I can do at the moment.Yes, it sure can be. What does the new growth look like?

And last, but hardly least, be fully prepared with two, if not three single-site mode of action products so you can immediately rotate.
