RUSSET MITES

[HydroRed]

What if i were to use 10% permethrin.

Ive read folks using pyrethrins on there plants, along with floramite & avid. All of which are very heavy chemicals.
If i can use those, is it safe to say i can use a 10% permethrin?
I have a shit ton of that stuff.

Pyrethrum TR bombs on Ebay. Get 3 cans and use them 3 days apart from each other. I only used this brand since all the others (Doktor Doom etc) are only 0.2% Pyrethrum and the TR Bomb is 2x as strong @ 0.4%. Killed off my Russet Mite issue 100%. Just fine to use in all stages of flower as the half life is less than 24 hours. Only the propellant is toxic or flammable and that is gone after the bomb finishes and air clears. Sulfer burns and sprays will taint your buds late in flower with a rotten egg smell/taste that wont clear up after harvest. Alcohol/water sprays will likely ruin the thc/trichomes on the buds since thats the same chemical method used to break down the oils in the trichomes to make ISO etc.

Bombing outdoors? Waste of money.

Ill be burning everything after harvest, @ this point im just trying to save the remainder of my crop.
THESE ARE OUTDOOR PLANTS....in about week 3.. some week 4.

Bombs are not going to do it.

I sprayed the garden with suphur. Next spray will be captain jacks. Then ill bring in ladybugs.

Hopefully those sprays wont kill my ladybugs.

I would not be smoking those buds after you sprayed with sulfur.

It comes in other forms than bombs. Use a liquid concentrate and dilute it in an industrial pump sprayer and go to town.

Lol it's a fucking mineral. They're all labeled organic... that doesn't make it safe to smoke.

Sulfur is bad on cannabis when in flower. If you don't know then you need to do alot of reading

So im guessing if sulfur is no go then the captain jacks deadbug is for sure no bueno?

You will di what you want. However, just because something says it's organic doesn't mean that it is. Also, because others say they are using it doesn't mean that it should be used in flowering. Again, I will say not to use sulfur in flowering. Ask anyone and they will give you their opinion and probably a little more info.

 

[Lacedwitgame]

So dude at hydro shop said same thing, said not to use it cuz ittle make your bud taste like matches. News flash: he also said ladybugs wont take care or slow them down either.... He recomended what they sold which was grandevo...

 

[Lacedwitgame]

Said russet mites are too small for ladybugs & that ladybugs barely take care of spidermites let alone russet mites. Said the ladybugs would spread em if anything.. .

Here you go. Beneficial Insects cant be shipped to Hawaii, so I frequently forget they are an option for you guys in the states. The problem is they need time to be established. I hear of a lot of people using swirskii, hypoapsis, and cucumeris to control russets.

Look up Andersoni amblyseius.
