Scoping leaves and Forbid should have gotten them and eggs. 3 to 4 weeks in flower. Growth slowed. I defoliated sick leaves and lower parts. Anything I can use to try to perk the plants back up besides SuperThrive or Recharge?

I think they can finish in flower but they may be zombies with below avg yield Thanks.

You must have mixed too much Forbid 4f. I used it the 2 times it took to eliminate those shits and had a small amount of leaf burn. No real adverse affects at all.

No the leaves had damage from the russ mites. Plants are okay just seem lethargic. How late in flower would you use? Did you get a good or normal yield in the end?

Did it take care of Russ mites and eggs? Thanks.

Oh I'm sorry the monsters already sucked the life force from your plants. They should recuperate but may delay things.
So I sprayed veg plants with just a few mites and no real damage yet right before flip in hopes that if I had to reapply after a few weeks I'd still be clear to have a Chem free harvest.
I wouldn't feel too comfortable applying much past a 3 weeks into flower. Plus I don't like sprays during flower pistils are easily damaged even Azamax spray and pyrethrin foggers damage pistils.

Once you rid your garden with forbid, you could easily keep it that way with good habits.
