The thread is going on 5 years old. I'm sure the plants, the mites and maybe even the OP are long gone.

I want to start off by saying in no way am I an expert.
If you want to kill russet mites or control their population down to less then 10% I would recommend this form of treatment. It is organic and I have used it on two grows now dealing with these bastards.
It is important to ph your solution after mixing to 5.8 to 6.0. A major boost in kill would be to add ice to your solution. Russet mites hate extreme cold or heat. You will not see a difference until about day 2 or 3. They,will not be moving or act very very eradic.
Day 1
60 MLS a gallon of Big time Exterminator. Be carefully that it's not the new formula which is 3X more powerful
Day 2
60 ml of big time exterminator
Day 3
Either mycotrol or botanigard at 10 MLS a gallon. Mycotrol is OMRI CERT. botanigard is not but they are the same solution from the same company.
Day 4
Nothing. Plant recovery
Day 5
Big time exterminator 60 ml a gallon
Day 6
Mycotrol or botanigard at 10 MLS agallon.
AFTER DAY SIX SPRAY EVERY OTHER DAY FOR A WEEK. AFTER THAT ONCE EVER 3 DAYS ALTERNATE BOTH PRODUCTS
I hope this helps anyone who tries it
