Have you used one of these doublejj ?

My local lumber yard is a husqvarna and Echo dealer. Unfortunately they don't carry Stihl, but they said Husqvarna and echo have the attachment to turn their backpack blowers into sprayers.
Figured if I was going to invest the money, I want more then just a sprayer / fogger, I could use a leaf blower too.

Thanks.
I'm just starting to get a little PM and I've decided I'm done using a pump sprayer.

Sorry to hear about those mites you folks are battling. Hopefully a short lived issue.

I'm doing a full 'scorched earth' treatment as soon as i harvest. I'm getting ride of my dirt & pots & spraying non-food grade insecticide in everything else...and spray again before next season.....twice...

Forbid is an Ovacide . ( kills eggs ) Not sure about Russet mites but has not much to no effect Broad mites. I would hit them with Avid 1 mil per Gallon. 26 day systemic or rotate them.

I used to spend a few hundred bucks a season on Azamax and still get red mites.

I have taken the approach this year to hit them ( plants ) with Avid as teens and at the onset of flower. I have had no mites of any kind and I get the red mites bad all the time. You can if you desire spray Avid two weeks into flower. Beyond That I would not feel like a good person.
This summer has been peaceful .

Once bitten twice shy....I'll take a much more aggressive approach early, during veg, I'll spray with Avid several times while they are still small plants & up to flowering...

Agreed on that one buddy. I plan to spray much more thorough and scheduled than I did this year. Damn bugs seem to be getting worse every year. I put that backpack sprayer on my need list.

State of the Carport.....
I have removed all the lower branches from the most mite effected plants. They seem to have a preference for sativa dom plants & have left the 2 indica's alone...They hit the Blue Dream & SourD the worst & they look more sativa like....I have fogged 3 times with forbit. I'll spray tonight with azatrol. I won't spray the indicas with forbit, but I will spray the others a few more times to be sure....
