russet mites and broad mites the garden slayer

Alot of people i know battled with these indoor and out i had a run in with them last season there very hard to see, but the effects are obvious. They hide as a deficiency cuz there effects mimic the look a deficiency, but during flowering stage they literally eat the crystals of your plant and make your buds worthless, look almost hermaphrodite in a way.... lower leaves taco and as it gets worse the whole plant will go to shit...
I first saw the signs of them late vegg early flower and was dumbfounded when i looked through my 30x scope and saw lil worm like bugs eatin my shit....so it was WAR

I beat them in early flower using organicide and azamax i sprayed every other day one time with one kind the next with the other ,until i noticed new growth that didnt taco and crystals were popping again
I want to here what other people did to kill these nasty lil fuckers so we all can win cuz my method worked for me but did not work for a friend if you spray with a pesticide wrong the bug will get a tolerance for it and make what your doing useless i guess...im no bug expert but its what I've been told but i wanna here what other people have done to get rid of these lil monsters

I dunno man. These things are pretty persistent. I wouldn't stop spraying until as late as you can gom

Im in the middle of a war with these lil fuckers rite now! so far ive used the organicide, 3 days later hit them with azamax and SM90, then a day after that hit them with azasol. Completely drinched everything and then some. So far havent seen any moving around looks like a bunch of dead ones. Tomarrow ill hit them with some nitrozime to bring there health back of the plants cuz i probably hittum way hard with all that stuff but i just wanted to kill the russets. After the notrozime ill hittum a few days later again using the same stuff in order again. Hope this helps. Good luck

U probably had some other bugs. Azamax won't get rid of russet or broad mites.

I think that's the best you can do is spray constantly and keep changing it up. That way you kill what's there and as soon as any new eggs hatch you spray again to kil them before they get a chance to lay more eggs. A few persistent weeks of drenching should be effective. You can get nematodes to kill eggs that fall and hide lurking in your soil. I have been soaking neem meal and doing soil drenches as part of my pest prevention. Good luck.

You're not concerned about killing your soils micro flora and fauna ? I'm hesitant to upset my soils balance with drenching.

What else looks like light brown powder on a plant but when you scope it it looks like a bunch of lil maggots scraping at the surface of the leaf?

Like i said worked for me i definitely had them jus was odd because it was hit and miss with alot of people some it worked for others it didnt the combination of three in one organicide, insecticide,miticide and the aza maxx was doing it for mee but like i said like 1 outa 3 it would help and i mean completely cleared them out and others it was like nothing was done hella weird

I my self have been battling these microscopic bastards, I an ive done alot of reading on these witch I know alot of you may have too. but I have read alot of post that Azamax dosn't affect them.. But I did read bout 5 or 6 post that, anything with Pyrethrin, an Spinosad works. So As of the first of July 10 ,I have been battling these with. Docktor Doom Fogger bombs, an an product called Worry Free (witch you can find at walmart, I know of all places huh) an another product Monterey witch contains spinosad.( all pretty cheap )

An so far, every leaf i look under there is nothing moving. An if youve seen em you kno there active fuckers under an 80x scope when first found.. An starting to see singhs of em turning black witch im hoping is ther corps rotting! lol. but my girls are all atleast 6ft x6ft an i can still see leafs with a curl on em. but every time i find one i pluck it an look an there is no movement. But the new growth is green an no curl or singhs of bugers. so between Pyrethrin an Spinosad I think I may have won or atleast killed em off for now. but gunna continue to spray an use foggers up the day I see flowers starting.. I already lost a indoor crop to them inside, an I will tell you they will take em out in a quickness. But lets work together an kill these Microscopic bastards!!

People dont relize that aza maxx dosnt kill them it affects them in the way that they can no longer metamorphosis to adult hood... there are 4 life stages to all types of mites: eggs, larva,nymph , mite.... only the adult mites can lay eggs and by using the aza maxx it stops them from being able to spread becouse the cant lay more eggs becouse it of the mutations from the aza maxx... u can look it up the life cycles and everything you need to kno in order to defeat your enemies you must know every thing about them....... lol some smart guy said that shit for a reason ...... then u need a different chem tthat kills on contact and continue the process until there gone.... but some people are lazy want a quick fix in mu opinion thats not gona happen with these guys!!

so ya your right aza maxx dosnt workto kill them but if your using it for its directed purpose then ya it works great jus a lil helping info for you guys anouther weapon for the fight if you will

Than you appreciate the info for sure man. The more i know how to defeat this bastards the better! Thanks agian!
Have you had them? an if so how did you defeat them?

I couldnt agree with you more norcal cuttings. Thats some of the same info that i read on about azamax and russets. You have to attack them in all stages of life in order to defeat the lil shit heads. It does not kill them its just ammo to add to the arsenal of shit you have to use to kill them. I used all tje stuff i mentioned in my first comment but i also added avid. Just dont use avid during flower. Only in veg cuz the shit takes awhile to get out of the plants system.
