Russet Mites?

Hi everyone,
I flipped to flower about 4 days ago and I definitely seem to have a bug problem but It’s my first grow so any help is appreciated. I was told by one person it may be russet mites. I’ve used DE on top of soil. DE + soap foliar spray, and Safers Insecticidal soap (once so far) and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
Any thoughts on what I should use or if I should just start fresh... I have two GDP plants in another tent on week 2 since sprout, but I don’t want to waste al I’ve put into these.
They’re Blueberry CBD in Coco and Pearlite. A0DC160E-4450-4E63-88C8-C72F9D8EB053.jpeg

Doesnt look like Russets in your pics...but the best way to get rid of them is wettable sulfur powder if you are in veg.

But honestly, entering day 4 of flower like this is not ideal at all and you are going to be battling problems the majority of time.

Did you have tan powder looking shit on any of the branches? I had them once on a clone I got and was like "this looks like kief" as I run my finger through it and later read its billions of mites *shudders*. Threw it right in the herby and they luckily didnt spread

It was marked through the leaf, but then I put my thumb through it it felt a bit powdery. Almost like rust

No that just sounds like dead leaf this was like fine powder. Could be a ph or lockout issue what's your ph and ppm?

PH is 5.8-6.1. PPM now is about 675

This picture was taken last month but now lots of leaves are being eaten away.

Not really sure then that first pic does look like there might be some tan on the leaves. You can try green cleaner or neem mixed with silica to emulsify it

If they are and you scrap them make sure you bleach water wipe everything and I hung a couple hot shot pest strips for a while (empty room) just to make sure
