@ABM I found 2 pic's of the bananna kush that brought in the russet mite 2013. This was the first sign of any problem in my garden. I've been fighting them since. I think I have them now. This was the source of my infection.

Keys thanks for posting the pic.!
I had a plant last year that looked like this but probably worst. I thought it was because of something I sprayed on it in the sun or to strong of a mix.. It healed it's self and turned out ok and really frosty. Makes me wonder if our few weeks of 110 degree weather killed the mites or what was actually the deal. I thought I had them inside too with the same symptoms but could not scope a single bug.

same with this plant. ABM and I were looking at it and couldn't figure it out either. I had just sprayed so I thought it was the spray (asamax). It finally healed it's self and flowered but it didn't tighten up. It was a chem dawg not a banana kush. I still have some of it . Think I'll smoke some tonight. They wintered over and got into the SR71 TMB gave me. I never did get rid of the completely . I had russet in dec. on one plant. I hope you don't get these mites Bro !

@flykeys man you didn't have to take down that picture. Mo and I were discussing it . It was a beauty nice job.!

" It finally healed it's self and flowered but it didn't tighten up" exactly.

Did you say you think you might have them now ?

i noticed that I wrote that. I meant to say I could have them now and I'm going to treat them as if I do . I'm getting the bioworks products that nora has listed . I'm like on the fence about them. even with all the research and help from everyone. they could have wintered over but, we did get a good week of freeze this winter. that should of helped. I haven't ordered yet because the nemesheild has a 4 week shelf life. I want the bens to be full of life when I apply them. Shipping is over night .

Also the guy at Romeo ,Alex I think is his name told me that the bioworks won't work on mites. It says it will right in the faqs pdf. plus it's the BB in the product that kills them. It's a fungus that they eat that blows them up. they don't seem to be up to speed at Romeo.
i hear my rack calling ! you guys have a good night.

this is well worth reading JD.! 91% effective is great and thats in flower. Add some avid a couple times in veg. and they don't have a chance in hell.

Are you STILL dealing with russet mites?!

I told you what to do last year! In THIS thread!

Mine are totally gone and have been for years. Go back, read up and put the fuckers down once and for all.

i'm not still dealing with them. I have been still researching them. I don't have any plants outside yet to deal with. I have found much better things than you recomended to use though. maybe you need to read my thread again. You'll never put them down once and for all . Now days it's about prevention.

and that is using one of the SAFEST sprays in horticulture so far ... 4 hr REI is great glad i found this stuff cuz biowar was too $$$ for me (and snakeoilish). i kinda reaserch stuff to death ...
