Wetting agent (most important) and H202 eradicated them.
Initially just the wetting agent killed/drowned them but it didn’t take care of the eggs hence the H202.
I dunked the whole plant up to the coco in H202 and wetting agent solution, give it 10 mins and repeated.
I’ve not seen a sign of them since that’s about a year just now.
Whatever you do be sure to use a wetting agent, insects hairs make a safety bubble with the water’s surface tension, I know it sounds unlikely but they don’t even get fkg wet
Pond skaters or springtails are good examples of insects using surface tension, if you put a drop of wetting agent or dish soap in the water they fall straight through the surface and drown.
Left mostly just the nice tops and about95% leaf strip on all before lights off tonight i will hit them with my first kine of attack and spray every 2nd day until i run out of this
I have enough for 2 gallons so prob 3 good sorays. Than i will buy something else and continue for a month and see how she goes of things dont turn around ill scrap and start over
Ill have a scope here later to post better pics fingers crossed
If those are spider mites they are HUGE! Either that or what I have seen is significantly smaller. No way I’d be able to photo them or even see them on top of a leaf without using a scope. ymmv
If they are mites…they are a total pita to get rid of.
Yes but i am not able to afford all the ingredients or i would love to use it. All i get is my pension now days a d food and rent take it up lol so going to have to get creative here
Just grab Neem ,Thats easily the best stuff I ve ever used on mites and other insects. I learned the hard way about waiting and lost everything I had growing in my tent . They are the worst .
I use a technique that only requires water to clean off the bugs. Make small clones and scrub them off good taking off most of the leaves, and then complete the cloning process. I’ve used that method to finish off thrips, mites and whiteflies.
Hey @JoeCrowe I’ve learned alot about eradication from scrolling your protocol.zero stuff. Also enjoy your high magnification hash stuff. I had a question. Where do all the fibers come from?? I try to run a tight ship but always get a ton of various color synthetic fibers. No scrog for a few runs now. Carpet?
Why not share your method? I would LOVE to hear it as I ended up burning my plants and getting rid of my tents because no matter what I tried I was unable to completely get rid of Hemp Russet mites.
Dust! It’s that simple, make sure you wash the hell out of your bags. Before I made my first batch, I put my bags in the washing machine. Now, I store them in the freezer to prevent contamination.
will save up I guess
