Nuggs 2015 russet mite war

Russets are horrible. I've been fighting them the last 3 years. I got a little lazy this year...as far as mixing it up with different sprays. Mostly just used doctor zymes idk how much it helped until I used a dose of 16oz a gallon lol. I did spray Monterey Garden with spinosad 3 or 4 times too

Hi my Friend, if you sprayed nukem and they are still alive and moving then it's not thrips. It's russet aka broad mites. I still use mycotrol-wpo mixed with suffoil-x. Since I started this program I have had zero problems with any kind of bugs except worms. I use spinosad for worms. Spinosad won't kill russet. It says it will kill thrips and it probably will. My guess would be that if you spray spinosad it's not going to solve your problem. Mycotrol has Beauveria bassiana a organic fungus that is injested and blows their guts up.
When i had russet I thought it was thrip. I sprayed everything I could buy nothing worked until I found Mycotrol and suffoil. when you had those bugs in your tent back when, those were russet. worryfree was what I was using and it didn't work. just like most things I tried it just slowed them down and they would come back. if you have russet now, this close to harvest it's not good. you can still kill them and save your flowers but, they will have dead bugs in them no getting around it.

nuggs, is the stuff you recommend oil or just the fungas?

the suffoil has a mineral oil base. The mycotrol is a powder that has the BB in it. I mix 2 tablespoon of powder to one jigger of suffoil in my hudson fogger and mix with low volume air pressure. i spray it from planting through veg at 20 day intervals. i sprayed some early toss plants a week before harvest and had it tested . it came back 0 pestasides.

Nuggs what strain was that branch you gave me?....it tastes awesome

Durban poison x neville haze Joedank

Hey Nuggs...thought we had a pic of a russett lol. OP says it's thrips. Add o that is better than russets lol
I was using whatever the middle magnification setting is on the celestron

pic is blurry but if you cant see them with naked eye and need that middle scope on celestron to see them probably russetts. your pups and plants look great nuggs

most growers have russetts just so microscopic we stoners have no idea until the scope comes out

Took my pup in for his check up. 65. 4 pounds. He's 4 months and a week today. How's the pups and garden bro?

I'll post a couple shots of mine . Glad your pup is doing good. I'm going to move over to my other thread. this one has BUGS ! Lol

No problem Fumble, My method is tried and true. 2nd grow since I had them ruin my meds. It's awesome to beable to take the scope out and find clean plants. I don't worry about bugs anymore. I found the cure.

Yep...and Ima follow suit

I'm buying both those products for next year as well. I'm tired of wasting money and time!

It's worth every penny. I also do some other things. One is a soil drench with nemasheild and nematodes when I plant. keeping the root zone bug free. also I fog DE around everywhere. the bugs don't have a chance.

I was if this product is the same or similar to pfr 97, grandevo or met 57??

I don't think it's the same. bio works products are omri cert. the others are not. I do add 2ml pre gallon of avid during veg ONLY. It is compatible with mycrotrol and suffoil. It's not organic, but has a 30day residual.

I wouldn't stock up so to speak. the shelf life is one year on the mycotrol-wpo and is two years on the suffiol-x.
