I started a thread with similar problems...you can see the advice I have received and my thoughts. I am hoping for the best for you man.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=310770

I just read thru there. What have you done so far?

I have same temperature/uv action as you. 90*+ by 9 or 10 am. UV an 11 by noon or earlier. Heavy winds.

Out to attack with sulfur. go to store tomorrow and grab some miticides. So far Pylon, Phantom, Kontos, Nuke em, and big time exterminator have been recommended. See what I come back with...hopefully for under several hundred dollars.

HULK SMASH TINY BUGS!!!! KING KONG ROAR!!!! OFF MY PLANTS!

Suckabagohdicks bugs.

So dealing with this heat & trying to destroy these bugs will be difficult.

Consider the plants dead. So if I kill them saving them, still in the same Dead-plant-no-harvest boat.

Forbid & avid are outlawed in CA don't know where to get those. and wouldn't smoke the plants they were used on. Would need to cut clones, treat those, than get clones off those to get clean.

Russet mites... Those fuckers are all over my tomatoes I've slaved over all summer. I'm going to hit them with PFR-97 every 3 days.

Hatch you can order avid and forbid right here in California. Order them from domyownpestcontrol.com I have ordered all that stuff within the last year.

If it were me, I would hit them with forbid, and avid. 2 separate applications of each, and 3 days in between each spray. So a total of 4 sprays and 12 days. After this I would spray with PFR-97 every 5-7 days to keep them from coming back.

fuck dude, such a bummer... not too late too move back up plants into place? or another location perhaps? or hopefully this isnt happening to all your plants and if its just a selected few id pull em and burn em quick...

so best case scenario now is dead mite avid/forbid bud harvest? that stuff even ends up in extracts so shit idk... gl bro

make sure you have a backup harvest if this goes to shit, its not too late...

good luck either way, hope you got some 2'+ extra plants sitting on the bench...

This mess is turning me bi-polar:). I am screaming a lot. Trying to have hope. Wondering how living in a 4 man tent is going to be this winter...

I'd say staying organic is out the window.

I gave them aspirin this morning..Azamax tommorrow..then hardcore death shit.

I have so much time and labor invested this year...and nearly all my dollars. I need a new swear word that is ten times the "F" word and the "C" word combined.

We will try to save them but probably won't..napalm is cheaper, faster and less bother.

I don't think anything will get to harvest with broad mites, at least looking at the plants right now.
Damn.


Do I have to worry about my smart pots too? Soak them in alcohol or hydrogen peroxide?

Yup. Basket of eggs and bunch of little bugs sat on them. Until the camel's back broke.

They won't let ya type the C word on here. F-ing hilarious.

Yeah all this grow started in February-seeds/Last year-soil stuff.

I'm not going to use strong chems on them, want to smoke the stuff. So fuck me & lets get this thread deleted.

Yep. February. Started building my dirt then and ordering seeds. Found icmag. I had such hope and some litttle dreams. Damn the bad luck.

Let's petition Payaso to allow the "C" word during times of extreme duress.

Tears solve nothing...so why do they exist?
