    Russet mites! Help!

    I realized I had a pretty bad russet infestation, i’ve removed all the plants in my tents and tossed them. About 15k of collectors and clones. I’m gonna throw away all my in-line duct. I’ll be keeping my lights and my fans, and my 2 tents one 3×5 and one 5×5.

    But my next problem is I’ve read that burning the sulphur in a burner breaks down the paint and drywall so I can’t do that in my brand new house. But being that my plants are all cut down and I’m emptying it out can I get away with scrubbing everything with diluted bleach, spray sulphur, then dawn dish scrub all over, then cleaning all walls lights and parts with lost coast, then spraying the walls with wettable sulphur a few times before resetting and trying again, please let me know if this sounds good! Or bad!

    I think that sounds like it be enough but not super knowledgeable on russets so hopefully someone smarter can come in and give you a more definitive answer 👍

    Get a cheap ozone machine on Amazon. Let it run in your grow area for a couple hours. Kills and disinfects everything. There’s a couple youtube videos that show how to use it. It will kill plants though.

        I believe he was trying to fix a mold issue. I saw a YouTube video where a group did a study and found the exact level that kills spider mites without killing the plants. But the amount has to be monitored very carefully. So I use it when my lung room and tents have no plants.
