Hemp Russet Mites!! Help?

[genedigger]

how the hell are you getting a mite problem that bad? are you visiting the grow room once a week?i have had tons of pest problems in the past and never have i had plants look like some of the ones i see on here.that looks like those mites were on there for weeks unchecked.if you are in your grow room everyday looking at every plant please tell me how the fuck you have mites that bad?im not upset or dissing you im just stunned that there that bad.ive takin a plant with mites on it and put in another room an it takes a while for them to get that established.another thing fuk the chemicals give the plants a water dunk until there gone. ive done this for my grow and other grows with amazing results.i spend at least an hour everyday in my room.mites dont have a chance to spread and im constanly trading genetics with other folks and getting their pests an i always get rid of them very quickly with plain water.this works for aphids and white flys except aphids take the longest to get rid of with water.good luck! spend more time with your ladies.

A, B, C, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3



A. Shit happens to everyone, the key is to learn from it.

B. Playing Gramma Gardener everyday, whispering sweet nothings to your plants, and accepting random cuts from Goober McPowderyMite on a regular basis, is bad practice and hilariously ridiculous after cursing someone out. You (the grower, any grower) are the single greatest vector of pest and disease, the less often you can visit and track in potential contamination, the better. Your rinky-dink skinna-ma-rink solutions may well work for 1-4 plants. Try it out on 1-4 rooms, packed to the gills. I would love to hear how it works out.

C. Mixing in "No offense" after trying to ream someone out is pretty asinine. You are upset (ranting) and insulting others, while touting your own terrible practices. There's a word for that...


Now you know the beginning of the Alphabet, tune in tomorrow for the other 17 letters.

thats my personality it gets me in trouble sorry for the harsh words.besides pests your stuff looks dank.i dont have that many rooms but ive got 17 dif strains so theres alot going on.you are so right about me being an idiot for taking cuts from other growers.ive had people tell me im a dumbass for it and ive even taken a cut that i could see had problems and thats just it even with bad practices like this i still havent had bugs get outta control.i havent seen a pest on anything since last year when i got a mite ridden m.o.b. cut.im sorry i came on harsh.il be singing sweet somethings to your girls tonight while i rest.

Proven Method To Iradicate Russet Mites

Proven Method To Iradicate Russet Mites

1)Cut everything down and burn it

2)Shut down rooms, clean everything with a bleach solution

At least that's what my friend told me-

When people say move it gets me so pissed dude not everyone can pick up there things and just move.


No the solution isnt moving.....so what you can get some more dirty girls to infect your new spot.


Once again are heat treatments not affective for russet mites ?


Cleared out my cylamen prob a year ago

Keep calm and carry on

Just passing on what I was told. I can't pick up and just move either-

I heard heat treatments can work but RM are the AIDS of the plant world aka "the plague"

 

[DONAJTHEIII]

I have a harder time controlling a spidermite infestation compared to a broadmite infestation. If only heat treatments worked for everybug.

Sorry if I came off an ass-0 aha just hate that solution because its not one

I think it depends what cyclamen mite you get, some broads are easily controlled, some russets are resistant to almost everything you throw at em and if theres one egg or dormant female in or outside your room they can come back.

I've never had a hard time with spider mites personally, I just prune the lower branches, spray with azamax a couple times at 3 day intervals and no more mites.

I have remedied severely infested cuts(spider mites) before but I've never had super mites though.

Im interested in genediggers water dunk techinque. Does any one else have an opinion on this one ? are you just covering the medium , then dunking into straight water ? curious . I had been spraying every plant with plain water daily as a preventative . I also clean my rooms every or everyother day and still ended up with HRM ! I am currently combating em with an once each of spinosad and azamax per gallon (veg only), spraying at around every 4 days,I alternate that with avinash's recipe of a once each of neem 91% iso, and wetting agent/soap per gallon. They seem to be mite free... for now... I am planning on continuing this regime at 2 week intervals just to be sure.

Whats funny is I thought about plain water dunks way back. I thought about it because plain h202 should cause no stress to the plants. With that said I also thought about how I flushed spiders down my toilet all the time back in the day lol I think plain water dunks can be a successful method because your literally causing bug death through drowning if held under for the proper amnt of time which will take some experimenting that I havent done. Its a method that technically can work. I would hate to die that way drowning always scared me as one of my close friends drowned to death back when we were kids.

I would seriousssssly doubt this guys.....
come on now.
peace.

 

[TheRealHash]

I think water rinses just knock them back, I think for eradication you need to alternate sprays and soap rinses. Heat treatment sounds good too if possible for your particular set up.

 

[Ras Mason]

Might also be spreading the eggs evenly throughout your whole population......no?

No matter what treatment you use you have to do multiple applications though so the eggs thing wouldnt really matter especially in a heat treatment situation.

i wish i could post pics cause i would put a log up of infested plants and how im cleaning them.the whole process.i grow organic so this is one reason i have better luck than someone using chemicals.its just like when humans only eat processed foods with no fruits and vegetables the immune system weakens likewise when plants are fed a chemical diet they yield very well but get sick or pests easier.i dont just grow buds indoors ive got multiple grows of many other species of plants which have all had their fair share of pests.i am currently battling a feirce aphid infestation on all my hot peppers inside, 2 rooms away from my pot grow and i am not scared of this at all cause i know i will conquer those fukers.my method takes tons of work and constant attention to detail like combing over every plant everyday no exceptions and thourghly too. if you think you forgot to look at a branch start the fuk over and relook at it all again. its kinda funny cause im not the best at keeping things tidy.my flowering area is super tidy but i gotta work on the vegging area more so i have this aspect working against me.i am very dedicated to my grow though i spend hours everyday in it. its not anywhere as big as the grows i see on here so i do have this working in my favor.i also have 4 years growing organic plants for a living.imagine looking at 5 acres of potatoes and seeing them covered in potatoe beetles.now take a jug of water and comb that feild of potatoes and take every bug off every plant.thats what ive battled when it comes to pests so when i see a few square feet of a 20 by 20 grow room with mites i gotta laugh its like really a puddle of my piss could drown every mite in here.if i met you id get rid of them for you i hate them.

Aphids and hot peppers? Best luck I've had is with peppermint oil below 0.2% concentration, only took two applications (tight time line). I have to assume it had a disasterous effect on egg viability.

The peppermint oil eradicated hemp russet mites?

 

[Mikell]

Nein, off topic reply to genedigger. Aphids are the borg-mites of pepper growers. I have no idea how peppermint oil would effect HRM, but it's quite potent in low concentration. After having great success with Bonners Peppermint soap against TSSM, I picked up a bottle of oil and have been annihilating everything with it.

 

[TheRealHash]

I heard Dr Bronners worked wonders in conjunction with sulfur treatments for outdoor russet mite control.

I guess the peppermint soap would be ideal then?
