got new cut with leaf curling- will be treating for russet mites

any treatment will be intensive on cut>grow out> more cuts so im not worried about residue as im 120+ days and 2 gens away from finishing anything. i have small qtys of avid, forbid, and floramite but have never needed to use them.

i dont have a scope to positively ID but id rather not take chances, and this will take care of any chance of spider mite issues as well if any

these came from sonoma/mendo and im wondering if they are dirty they will be very resistant

people say conserve SC is the best for russets
i have monterey w/spinosad which looks to be the same active ingredient

id prob dip at 3 day intervals
day 1 azamax
day 4 spinosad
day 7 azamax
day 11 spinosad
day 14 azamax
day 17 spinosad

the above regimen worked for me for the worse case of the spotted supermites ive ever had and theyve been gone for 6 mos with zero treatment. thoughts on same regimen for russets?

one of the curlier leaves


tried to get a shot with the loupe but its tough

there are some really clear oval shaped things that are shiny like trichs

Better safe then sorry...if your vegging id just nuke em with floramite & be dine with it

I see no evidence of mites in those pics, and never seen someone attack with so much force.
I think you should spank the fertilizerer personally.

Spinosad dont really work to well on russets... Ittle slow em down...keep em @ bay at best....id go predatory mites if it was me...

Russet mites makes you wish you had spider mites lol
