@CannaCrone it kills just about all insects that eat so if you are worried about the beneficial bugs then you might not want to use this product but if you don't want any plant chlorophyll sucking bugs then the conserve SC is exactly what you need!

Thanks! The label says it does not have a "significant impact" on them. I take that to mean it kills some but not all? I'm okay with losing some in order to eradicate the russets. Just don't want to kill off the whole army. ;) But then again, I will do it if it means getting these bastards gone! I can re-establish the bennies if need be. I have at least three that they list as being okay. Lacewings, pirate bugs, predator mites. Have you observed a large kill off of the bennies? As I mentioned before, I also keep bees here so I do most spraying after they are in the hives for the evening. Do you know about the residual effect? Thanks for your info on this. Much appreciated. So glad to see we are all getting ahead of this critter in our various ways.

I grow indoors so I don't want any bug's! Now as far bennies I grow with organic tea brews an my plant's all come out perfect, so I'm assuming that it no impact on microbes in your soil @CannaCrone

it doesn't get below 90 here lately til well after dark ,, I sprayed right after sundown anyways without any issues. Expensive but should go a long way.. It def kills the russets but they are so small that you will never kill them all and they will just come back. IMO good organic cali outdoor is already a thing of the past

Keep up the treatments. They will go away, as long as they are not coming from other untreated plants. If you keep spraying and get good coverage, they will die. it kills them on contact and if they try and suck on the plants, that will kill them too. Just hit them heavy and often and then you won't have to spray as much. Make sure not to forget the wetting agent.

I think im just too far along in flower,, they are hiding deep inside buds where I cant get them with the sprayer,,, I wish I bought it a month earlier, still hopeful for an alright harvest
