Russest mites hit the ranch I was living on last year bad. Pretty much everyone on Rancho got effected in some way. We got lucky but my buddies used some type of sulfur to get rid of them.

Nice to hear the compliment , still not an OG though . lol Man I have had just about every bug you can in some sort of fashion. Never Broad mites though. They make reqular mites seem like a cake walk.

I hope that's not what he has. Thrips are pretty easy to cure and the signs of them show leaf trails and they are a white long bug, tiny of course...

Russet or Broad mites effect only new growth and bud sites. The are nearly microscopic and tend to stay in new shoots and at the junction of branch to stem . They will show under developing flowers, dead pistils and curled new leaf growth.

They are new pest problem going around. IC mag has a great thread on them.

Im sorry to say that they are quite devastating and need a heavy mitacide to cure.

My modem took a crap , I'm back. Yep I have Russet mites AKA the plague. It's new and many are spending a lot to try and stop it. right now I'm using 4BID4F a mitacide that's suppost to knock it out. spraying it to night I'll post the results tommarow. It's ok to use they say but still in testing and unknown if it affects flavor. GREAT. it's so strong that I could only purchase 1 ounce. mixed at 1ml per gallon and one application should work. I cut and bagged my SR71 Because it was so infested. I couldn' t save it. signs to look for are red leave edges and inter buds turning brown starting at the bottom of the plant and working up. you,ll need to use a 60x scope to see the little white worms under leaves and on the bud. most times mistaken for thrips.

Thanks for the info buddy, sorry that's the problem. I've heard a lot of horror stories about those little bastards. Good luck on the fight.

get the safer 3in 1 to start. it has sulfer 9.4% this should work in early stages. I don,t think you could have gotten any from here in two days.

I live in a fairly rural area. my plants are pretty much out of view from the road out front. You'd practically have to stop your car and use binoculars to see one of the girls mixed in with other tree folliage at the edge of the garden. The front of the house looks very conservative. No broken down cars, late night parties or anything to raise suspicions. Last night I was in the front room and some type of law enforcement car was driving very slowly down the road and shining their lights all around my house and the adjacent properties, which are mostly vacant open space. Kind of a scary feeling. I'm within the county limits with the number of plants I have and have my medical recommendation, but it's still scary. About ten minutes after this happened, I heard yelling down the road. I can only hope it was just some drunk and disorderly person being pursued.
