Hi. I am looking at taking over a property that last year I was told had a russet mite infestation last season.

How should I address this? Should I spray h2o2 around the garden? Should I h2o2 drench the soil a few times?

Any and all ideas and info welcome.

Thanks.

micronized sulfur at 1 oz gallon w coco wet and maybe some trifecta, often.

This is a good idea check out evergreen.com for some good deals on predators. Only thing is shipping takes awhile but they have the best prices and variety that ive seen.

H2o2 would be really harsh on the microbes you will be relying on to feed your plant. A healthy plant can defend itself against russets. Their reputation far exceeds the truth. Enhance your microbes...don’t go all killing fields on them.

Get some micronized sulfur (key to life silver bullet works regardless of them being c u n t s). 5 ml/gal, some fulvic and a wetting agent. Spray preventatively in veg if you want

Most important get a soil test and see if you can get balanced. If you can, no worries. If you can’t keep that sulfur handy.

You know both threads where you can get help

I would never spray sulfur on any Cannabis plant even in veg...
Unless you want people to smoke sulfur?
It will be tested and found, and I can smell and taste it even if in only veg.


Find the non-Cannabis plants outdoors that harbor the pests, get rid of them, they had to come from someplace.
Unless the grower on the property brought the mites on the Cannabis plants he grew last year?

Yeah sulfur is pretty nasty stuff if it gets in your lungs id stick to insecticidal soaps and/or predatory mites outdoors.

They are known to hitch rides on whiteflies and small moths so that couldve been the vector. If you see a lot buzzing around it might be a good idea to put a uv light fly trap nearby. Not sure if that would affect their photoperiod though so dont put it right next to them.

I think he means now, when the property does not have any pot plants on it. The sulfur would be gone when the grow started.

I want to hear a description of the property. Is it a greenhouse, open field, many trees or bushes? Offhand I would chop, rake, burn and then sulfur if needed.
