If you truly have russets vs two spot or other species. Did you actually get a confirm that’s what it is?
the stuff you listed above wont work on russet control . Won’t effect or kill russets in anyway. If your having russets, even two spot your just asking for a wild west of the mite coming back right when u stop applying the sprays and they even stress the plant vs biocontrols and low stress concentration
russets = apply a knockout of green cleaner or evergreen 5.0 or conserve sc than after that apply every 2 days a diff product, go To biocontrol mixture , I sugggest Grandevo + pfr + wetting agent and if you didn’t already apply evergreen 5.0 or conserve sc, mix that too, than 3 venerate xc, than 2 days later “knockout of ones listed but not the same one 3 days ago” + biocontrol mixed like evergreen 5.o and wetting agent ( I suggest yucca extract )
it’s a horrible mindset on any IPM to rely on any as a holy grail and biocontrols with the knock out will not only make the pest not function as good, make them not be able to reproduce as fast and kills them. key issue with just relying on for example conserve sc or evergreen 5.0 is they have spray limits per season like 3-5 times per season cycle ( main reason why for resistant of pest is guaranteed ) that’s why I also suggested dthe green cleaner as a suggestion for knockout cause it does not have cycle limits but shouldn’t be used as the only one, pests for non biocontrol do become resistant and you make a super big from that
it may sound pricy but once you are applying it at 7 days differance when u aren’t infected anymore and the products last per gallon way cheaper than most products at hydro store. Key is read the manual to know what rates kill mites .
now spinosad (conserve sc) is listed to kill mites and a lot of cats on these boards want to claim it won’t kill, know for a d act it does and ive seen many trials of people using all the products I listed above, and the main outdoor dudes that tried all that said they loved conserve sc and venerate and Grandevo .
Look at the time it's active in the plant if it's sestemtic. You should be fine man. Hit em hard. Use essential oils during flowering. Lots out there you can reverse engineer basically any spray out there like 86 or gardeners choice

I’ve had the same bottle of conserve sc for a few years and it’s ultra in concentration vs captain jacks. Totally worth it just like the biocontrols it’s pennies per gallon vs pricy ass shit like azamax and most hydro sold stuff.
you think big ag is willing to pay 5 bucks a gallon
