Biologicals predator mite andersoni kills them, you need to add more than recommended to kill populations, I suggest to cut out spots right before applying the mites, they travel fast and pop up really quickly so assume all your plants near by have them.

You can also spray avid then 5-7 days later spray forbid, this will kill them, but potent chemicals and forbid will kill predatory mites in a good ammount.

You need a three part attack. Step one. Spray take down. 3 days later spray azamax. 3 days later. Spray need. Vacuum. Clean room with bleach, up and down. 7 days later spray take down again. Then wash it all off with mighty wash. Clean room again. Vacuum. This will kill everything bad in your room. Anything less will result in nights coming back.

Practice being clean. Use gloves. Don't pet your pets and touch your plants. Go into grow room with clean cloths. No pets in grow room.
 
Wettable sulfur atomized destroys them up until you start seeing trichs

Follow up with essential oil sprays every other day with dr bronners peppermint soap

Release predator mites that would thrive best in your climate after a week or two of the napalm
 
Avid 1.1 mil and forbid 1.1 mil per gallon.
PH to about 6.

I had this once and its no joke.

Is there any set flowers at all? Or just those brown pre flowers?
The preflowers WILL come back and make buds.

One good spray of forbid and avid will save everything.
Then follow up with Nukem and big time exterminator or your choice of organics.

I suggest to spray them separate if you can, do avid first then forbid, about 5-7 days apart depending on your weather, hot and dry, if wheat is being harvested etc. They fly off wheat when it gets pulled.
 
its a tough call to spray this late, 1st week of preflower is ok but not two weeks in.
either way it dissipates in 45 days,. (chems are designed to break down from the UV spectrum of the sun)
However never designed to be smoked!

check me out September 5th last year. I finished perfect.
LOOK its a food ball field of russets just billions and billions!

I know PLENTY OF professional growers that got that far and used only azamax, nukem, oils and lost 100% of the grow with useless product.
One guy spent $3,000 on 5 different organics in rotation but it was so well established he lost it all and has 50 buckets of brown weed he cant take to any club.

I have 2.5 gallons of Bigtime exterminator its an excellent way to kill adults.
I also have conserve SC. Neither can win the battle alone you need an ovicide.

Tetrasan is "Safer" and cheaper then Forbid and poision!

have you tried ladybugs? You can buy them at most hydro stores they come in a container of 1500. They work well for many small pests in outdoor grows, you can apply them at a little after sunset and give the plants a spray with water for them to drink
 
yeah also spray with sugary solution like water and sugar so they cant fly for a while and make a home.

Worst mite invasion I ever had I was 100% organic down to $100 of lady bugs.

they flew right into the pines.
 
Chuck E. Kush Terrible website. I cant see any FAQ what is in it?
Is it the nukem/BTE stuff?

Does it burn new growth like Nukem/BTE?
