Best way to take care of russet mites

oh hate to hear this. first, you sure they are russet? i see you’re at week 2 so probably no buds yet to hurt? alcohol. and nukem and then green cleaner can be used in flower. fyi they feed on trichomes and will be almost impossible to get rid of in full bud mode.

here’s just about everything i know on these little bastards:

i wish i could answer your question about the heat and maybe it’d stress them out but the alternative is pretty bad too. i also don’t know if 110 is hot enough. they could shield themselves further inside the plant.

i bagged up all my plants and heated my tents to 120 for 20 minutes twice. wiped down with alcohol. letting them sit for 2-3 weeks. this may not help you now but maybe after this grow when you need to reset.
