Thrips & Russet Mites

[Germinator]

My TOM blossoms have what I think is thrips (shook out & looked w/30X). Also, I have russet mites (leaves lighten from bottom up). Previously I used Aza-Max for 3 sprayings over 3 weeks + one soil drench. I thought this product would do it but damage is worsening. But, also, at the time I did not think I had thrips. Now what to do??

I've got 21 plants in 15-gallon Geo-Pots, best potting soil/fertilizer, etc. Like Naysen (z_willus_d) from last year's post, I have wild grasses/trees/canyon/hillside around and seems like every bug in the world flies in to feast on my plants.

A plan of attack would be appreciated from anyone who has gone through this and knows the solution. I had read that pests would not build a tolerance to Aza-Max. Should I use soluble sulfur/molasses as sticker/spreader then lady bugs/yellow pest strips? This is what I am thinking.

Thanks, Germinator
