Looks like it could be russet mites not sure but I hope not.

 

[Subcoolkiwi]

Ok can you recommend any treatments for russets?

Looking into it now, there a completely different beast then spider mites I see. Down here in no we’re not blessed with decent hydro shops and most garden centres are not canna specific so I will have to source what I can

This is the Introduce Yourself section of the forum, not What's Wrong With My Plant??? - Please post grow support threads in the appropriate area. I recommend this one:

Problems, Pests & Disease Control

How to deal with mites, thrips, mold, powdery mildew and other common growing problems that can destroy plants in your garden

I’m soil grower so some of this is foreign to me.... Ok I’m going on on a limb here.... I don’t think root aphids can survive in reservoir or just as eggs being laid on bare roots... but I’m certainly willing to be wrong here. Are you seeing anything flying over the canopy or landing in the foliage? Gonna suggest getting a mini microscope & snip a few fan leaves.... scope both front & back sides looking for mites or eggs.

you mention soaking in insect soap... did you also spray the undersides of all leaves?

hey crew ... will hydrogen peroxide bubble out pests or larvae? What else can you think of to help subcoolkiwi

Nothing new to add but I’m bumping you to the top of the list to get more eyes on this post

Any chance we could take a peek at the roots?

hey guys yes i will take more photos and update. I have sprayed the plants completely twice this week with a really good soak and under all leafs, there are no sign of the usual spider mite so yes i think its a infestation on the microscopic level

There is no way to rid a garden of such pests you will need to kill everything clean and wait two whole weeks to make sure they are dead before you resume. Science says that russet mites can survive up to two weeks without a food source.

Hey man I think it was an overwatering issue so plants have been doing much better now I have cut back on the weathering times
