Yeah my raised bed outdoors have them. Mites and gnats. I use a foliar spray with lemon grass in it and it helps. I added some ghatrol a couple days ago. Everything I tried didn't seem to work. I bombed my outdoor garden with a greenhouse fogger in early year but it seems useless outdoors. Ladybugs are the only thing that's worked for me and they didn't show up until I quit using pesticides.

Hi dont forget the spiniosad product Conscerve SC will kill adults and Met 52 kills larva. Nukem and big time kills eggs and all life stages just with less results and more work but we keep it around at all times to switch up.

I'll check em out. I'm usually much to cautious about adding anything during flowering.

I won't be finishing that late but I think I'll hit my late October girls with it. What size containers are you using? Trying to figure how much I should mix for 100 gallon pots....

Yo yo what's up. This homie said use Bonide's Sulfur Plant Fungicide for $7 to 8 - 1 table spoon to one gallon of water.
This gangsta is kind of crazy but he seems to know his stuff.

If you email Bonide, who also makes Capt Jack's, they will respond very quickly. Great cust svc. May not be good in flower.

most growers never realize they have them but we all do just so small. met 52 didnt work but wettable sulphur in veg works perfect

californicus is the best predator along with lace wing larvae. the sulphur doesnt kill the predators in my experience

Not to pimp but try Mighty Wash. It is supposedly good for Russets too.

I was a skeptic and did not want to believe. I tried it on spider mites in Flower. Wiped em out.

Or make your own. The only hard part is finding the carbon electrodes/anodes.

Right so they control mites never knowing they had russets? We finished a greenhouse last month that had GANGS of russets. We sprayed just enough to make them die down. I was shocked to find them after taking the tops. No leaf curl, no retarded anything but when we hit lowers WOW.
