I see lots of posts about this. There's info scattered all over the place. I've battled BMs for 4 months and have finally destroyed them thanks to the consolidated knowledge provided here by the great members of icmag:
- Wettable sulfur thru an atomizer up to wk 2 of flower. Make sure there are no trichomes. It's cheap and very effective. Wear a respirator, turn off vents, and don't enter the room for 24 hours.
- Buildasoil has an essential oil mix, it is now your best friend. Use it every other day with a drop of dr. Bronners as a surfactant for at least a week until results are seen.
- PFR-97 is a fungus that traps the mites in mycelium killing them if your rh is above 80% for 8 hours. My rh does not exceed 65% but I atomize it every 2 days anyway. Pray for rain.
These agents along with removing infected leaves daily (I ziplock them) will eradicate them as long as too much damage has not been done. Theres a point where you have to cull your plants so stay on top of it so it doesnt happen. Kill off or quarantine the most affected ones.
- Heat treat your rooms past 115F for 1 hour is said to destroy them. Make sure your plants are watered adequately. Do it 2 or 3x if you feel so inclined but make sure the whole room even the floor exceeds 115F.
- I also ordered a. swirskii, a predatory mite that eats broads, but they arent here yet and it looks like I dont need them. Theyre the clean up crew so to speak. Some members have brought forth ethical qualms with using them as when they run out of a food source they starve so keep this in mind I believe you can buy little food for them to keep them alive. Their effectiveness depends on your room conditions. The trick is finding one that thrives in your environment or deploying a variety.
- Dont use neem oil or any oil based pesticide within 30 days of wettable sulfur.
I used lots of poison before this and never will again this works and it works way better! Good luck everyone and fuck all governments that use these pests as "weed control." This will also work for russet mites.
