@Smokin_Joe, Wow am I horrible at using this site. haha. Thx for all your thoughts. Your spot on and I agree bout removing damaged leaves. I was hoping, as you said, that her energy would go toward new growth. They will die and fall off eventually. Sad but true. Issues are starting to get fixed slowly as I learn. I know I need to get my climate under control. I am using wettable sulfur for the Russets currently which works WONDERS both for the plant's nutrition and for the mites. A horticulturist / IPM specialist that finally fell into my life like a miracle is guiding me and I am thankful for her advice on this because they are barely there now. I tried a neem product and it wasn't cutting it. Destroyed the ph in my living soil and all the microbes too when I used it as a drench. Btw, however, was NOT pure neem oil (Azamax is the extract of the active constituent of Neem) . It isn't possible to use oil-based products with the Sulfur though so my IPM is all non-oil based ATM. Working wonders though on a plant that has suffered mites for months. Now finally recovering. YEaaaah! I am going to find the product you mentioned and put it on my wishlist so if I should need it in the future I will have it in my bag. haha. I am sure you know it is good to keep things varied for pests. The one product I had tried that might have sounded like "GardenSafe" was called Safer Brand Fungicide. https://www.amazon.com/Safer-Garden-Fungicide-Concentrate-16-Ounce/dp/B000BX1FNW/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&hvadid=78615133924668&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=safer+brand+fungicide&sr=8-4&tag=mh0b-20 (btw I wouldn't buy it on amazon. it is at lowes and other stores for about 9-10$) That is what started really making a dent in those pesky mites. It is only 12% sulfur and just like the brand you mentioned has 88% other ingredients. I hate that. So, my mentor told me to get elemental micronized sulfur and make my own and use some yucca for sufficient. Works great but it is a huge mess in my tent. Have to leave the powder on the leaves. That is part of what kills them. Eggs too! Great for PM too (although I haven't had that ) Its this product: https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-PRODUCTS-142-Sulphur-Fungicide/dp/B0035H7V34/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3GFN94BYPCH41&dchild=1&keywords=bonide+sulfur+organic+concentrated+dust+fungicide&sprefix=Bonide+sullfur%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-4 (same with this product --I paid 8$ for 4lb bag and probably 10$ for a gallon of yucca extract so not an amazon friendly item either) Course you might already know about these but I thought I would share. Just make sure to read all safety info. Do not want to be inhaling the sulfur. even though it is considered an organic and natural element. It won't kill ya but will make it hard to breathe and some people react harshly. Some are more sensitive. Hope your growing is going well. My best to ya. (sorry so late in response) LOL
