Got a link for the scope you bought?
Those are some nice pics.
Those are eggs... first, fourth, and fifth image.
Does it seem odd to you that those eggs, if they are in fact eggs, are on the top side of the leaves?
But hey, there is probably a difference between tomato russet mites, and hemp russet mites.
You've probably got as good a handle on this as anyone... I know that you tried Azamax, and your ladies were still alive... And then you tried Bayer imed as well?
I would have to go with everything is dead now, and regarding your soil... I'd probably end up putting it in the oven and then inoculating the soil with beneficials.
Hopefully you got them all, and hopefully you will find a solution so that you can keep the dirt you've been working on for all these years.

What is this "fun ID pix" thread.You need to go through the fun ID pix thread. I think I stickied it. I believe we've got some farmers who've eradicated russets without using the really bad acaricides/miticides.
Did you ever get rid of your mites???I found the quote below on a University AG site. I also managed to find a lot of agreement on Google Scholar (thanks for that lead to academia Seamaiden ) That 130F-140F wet heat treatments will kill off insects, eggs, and many unwanted pathogens but will leave most of the the beneficial microorganisms intact.
I learn something new every day. If I don't, I am not paying attention.
"In the horticulture industry, soil technicians prefer using aerated steam at a temperature of 140 degree Fahrenheit for 30 minutes to treat propagation soil. Because higher temperatures (180 degrees Fahrenheit) kill all microorganisms, diseases may spread very rapidly with the absence of their natural enemies. On the other hand, when soil is treated with aerated steam at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, most of the beneficial microorganisms survive. Their presence stops or slows the growth of plant diseases."
So, it would appear my slow flush (takes about an hour and a half) of 3x the pot volume with 135F should kill the nasties and preserve many of the beneficials. Cool. Very cool.
I also learned that my method is called pasteurization, not sterilization.
Peace and Good Health!
