or.......Amblyseius andersoni is a predatory mite which feeds on many types of small arthropod prey and pollen.
The conclusion of trials with tomatoes ( http://edepot.wur.nl/258291 ) was that no predatory mite is really effective in treating russet mites (some can at most slow it down). They specifically selected predators that were, I kid you not, least bothered by trichomes on tomatoes. Based on that alone it doesn't seem like they'd do well on cannabis.

In case you really need to safe some clones, you could consider Spirodiclofen (approved synthetic) is most effective, supposedly better than Azocyclotin (toxic organic compound). Spirodiclofen former is sold by bayer as envidor.

It's the only way IMO. Save the genetics and start fresh again. Once you have them under control regular sprays every 3 days will keep them away. I'm fairly religious Bout bug control after tanking some grows. At least once a week in vegg w something or other. I hope you win the war Bob!

I kept trying to justify letting the flowering girls to finish, almost out of bud myself, but this is the way to beat em. Now that ski season is over & Im home most of the time, I'll be able to keep up a 3-4 day spray/dip regiment. Still have a knot in my stomach when I look at the empty flower tent ..lol
