How do I get rid of russet mites. Diatomaceous earth helped a little bit. I'm spraying with was mad and safer spray. I'm outside. Could I go through harvest with these russet mites or will they destroy my crop

I have used this in the past with good success.

The active ingredient has a label for tobacco and is widely used by tobacco farmers. You water it in and is absorbed by the plant and kills the bugs that feeds on it. Its going to be a while before you harvest.

Here is a link to information about the active ingredient.

Also Sevin another product available at home depot has a label for russet mites.

Honestly if you can use something organic, I would say, its your best option. I farm and use all kinds of pesticide so I know lots about them but I wish i did not use them for my sake and everyone else's.

If you don't use the pepper spray ( like he said you might not have the knife skills, lol) it seems you feel you need a chemical, just research them before using them because I have always heard never us sevin a terrible product, I forget the chemical but it is very bad to consume, especially if your going to sell any of this bud you can't have that guilt over your head bro

My knife skills are on point in the kitchen haha. But I just need something that works good. These russet mites are no joke and spreading super quickly. I want to find something that works. I was just fishing for more opinions cause I heard russet mites can destroy your whole crop

then do the pepper spray of death ........if u can get hands on hotter peppers use those
this stuff is no joke ......it kills the mites no issue later .....u are preflowering then u can soak the whole plant down it will last 3-5 weeks before u would need to reapply
it is called pepper spray of death for a reason for a tiny mite and other animals this stuff burns to high heaven and they have no milk

the other stuff they offer is not ment for smoking it is only for smell pretty look at me flowers ........this stuff will kill the mites prevent the next gen of them from forming and any living ones trying to feed will die off from stuff left on plant .....but for u it will leave nothing bad in the smoke it is gone after awhile

just watch touching the plant and your face for the first few weeks the oils will still transfer easy .....

At least If you try the hot pepper death don't touch your penis (I work in a kitchen and have done this, if you do grab the closest sour cream bottle you can find! No shit took the caspacian burn away in seconds) and try it, if your gonna use chemicals u will probably destroy terps resin glands, amongst other essential profiles
