thank you brotherThere is a few papers on it I believe. This is one I just found but the reproductive numbers are slightly lower than the ones I mentioned. I have to work tonight but I'll see if I can find the other article later on.
As for the other statement about producing super mites, that would mainly be from getting less than 100% kill rate on mites with a boosted reproductive rate.

Azamax drenches can help eliminate RAs too. A friend had a bad infestation a lil while back, noticed it mid flower, he did azamax and botaniguard drenches alternating weekly- still pulled a very respectable crop. There are also options available to greenhouse vegetable growers for elimination of RAs that would likely work even better than imid or merit. I’m not gonna advocate their use but the options are there if you do some searching
I’m my experience, Azamax does not eliminate RAs. When this outbreak originally started, the plants that were initially infested were treated weekly with Azamax for several weeks. The RAs could have cared less. Additional treatments did nothing. It was at this point that I started using biologics to control them. But like I said, after a few months and multiple BCA applications the RAs still remain. However they have been kept at a level that is manageable. They aren’t doing excessive damage to the roots to where the plants are getting sick. If you didn’t look inside the bucket you would never know there was a problem. Honestly, what’s most annoying about them is that the fliers get stuck in the buds and have to be constantly picked out. All that being said, over the past couple weeks I have noticed an uptick in their population which is why I finally made the decision to shift from biologics to chemicals. I’m also getting close to finishing up all my cuttings so I can nuke and restart.
Your last comments are perplexing - saying that there are other products out there that will work better, but refraining to list anything specific and then back tracking and saying, but I don’t recommend using any of them. It just doesn’t make any sense. You’re right in that there are probably dozens if not more products that claim to kill RAs. However 90% (probably more) are absolute snake oil - that or they have absolutely no business being used on cannabis. Doing a brainless google search on products that kill RAs is gonna do nothing except provide a bunch of useless or downright false information - which is why I brought the conversation here so that it can be discussed by experienced people in very similar situations.
In case you are using hps: I read on a different forum that the heat generated with hps and the resultant transpiration of the plants as well as evap from hydro create an ideal environment for bugs
Absolute hogwash.
HPS bulbs don’t encourage bugs any more than any other light. And using them in hydro does not create some magical environment that pests love. Ridiculous.
The general problem is that just like people - bugs love cannabis and are easily attracted to it. Plain and simple.
Ask for help but get hurt when you disagree with their answer..... azamax drenches most definitely help in combination w other treatments ,that is if you’re trying to go a less toxic route. And yea there are other more toxic solutions if u wanna go that route take some initiative and do some “brainless searches”. I’d rather you not poison yourself and possibly others by spoon feeding you the names of some toxic shit. Google is pretty easy to use if you’re not brainless:)I’m my experience, Azamax does not eliminate RAs.

RA is a species that thrives in media that is too wet and the groom isn't kept clean with good husbandry. HPS isn't the culprit. Agree with you Greengrower8Absolute hogwash.

Never hear of it can’t find much info about it.. meeting with our LAB today.. I’ll ask them about the MODE..Get some mustang max and call it a day.
I was joking, sorry. Pretty sure you need a license just to buy the stuff because it's so terrible.Never hear of it can’t find much info about it.. meeting with our LAB today.. I’ll ask them about the MODE..
