OK.....I'm against systemics on principle and have pretty much the same view as Stow said above.......BUT.....If I get these broadmites ever? I'm gonna nuke the SHIT outta them with whatever it TAKES.

 

[D619]

I'm in complete agreement. Using the same stuff over is why we have these super bugs. These broad mites are not even native to my area. In addition, indoor gardens are perfect stomping grounds with nothing to keep them in check

Broad mites use other insects to get around. Mainly whiteflies. They hang on to their legs to get airborne. If you see a whitefly fluttering around, there is a possibility there are broad mites on board.

Yes Whiteflies are a vector of broad mites, quite common. I was reading a paper about whiteflies being stuck to sticky traps with broad mites attach to them. A hydro shop I frequently go to has disease infested plants upon entering the shop. And yes a rub on the plant bam mites attach to your clothes or simple the wind blowing them on you. That's why I always shower and change of clothes before entering the grow room. Prevention ! Can't state that enough..

Broadmites: You can't.....see them?

A faceless enemy?

Not fair.

Tell me they hate cold weather and high elevation. PLEASE.

They are not fans of humidity. But it won't necessarily kill them, they simply are slowed down. They thrive in dry places and do desire a dark period. . What's weird is your vegging plants may not show any damage, but after a few weeks in flower the damage begins to appear

I was just thinking about those broad mites and how small they are. No way a normal sprayer is going to work! I mean all you need is a .01mm gap between droplets and some can escape. This is the reason to invest in a Chapin sprayer. Atomize, diffuse, booooom. Total coverage. I feel like buying a backup.

Dipping method works well if they are small clones. Also must use a wetting agent as well.

You're thinking spider mites. Broad mites prefer higher humidity and temps between 60-80f.

Broadmites: You can't.....see them? Actually the can lay dormant I think and survive for a long time until opportunity arises. If you are indoors and have a way to heat up a room to over 130 degrees for an hour seems to work. Kind of like how they treat bedbugs. Just make sure the area is sealed so those bastsrds don't have anywhere to run too. Plants can handle short periods of high heat and I've seen some perk up a bit as well.

No, I've had spider mites, these were not spider mites. These never created webs, poisoned the leaves and we're much smaller than spider mites.

Feel free to go back when I started on here. There are pictures of my sick plants. They were definitely broad mites.

Eta, my temps were in low to mid 80 and my humidity wad under 50%

 

[Capt. Stickyfingers]

I believe you man. I'm just saying they prefer higher humidity and comfortable temps. Not high temps, low rh like spider mites.

There are a few different species of mites that can fall under the category of "broad mites" these things are barely visible at 30x, a translucent tiny dot that you can see moving if you watch and poke around, the leaves pit, and do terrible damage to the tops of plants first, slowly working down as your plant dies.

Honestly I kept thinking I had a deficiency. I can see spider mites, these things are a different beast.

An ounce of prevention = a pound of cure. With all this talk I'm about to purchase a POUND of prevention.

[Dr.D81]

Thank you sir. I need to make a seed order. You guys have some fire on here

 

[Breko]

Major wildfires in my area. I can smell smoke in the growroom. Wonder what the affects of that will be. Don't you hate things you can't control that fuck up your ladies?

On second thought. That's selfish of me. Lotta folks are losing houses and many wild forest animals are dying. It was arson too. They caught the idiot. Things aren't gonna go well for him.

 

[Dr.D81]

You should have an increase in co2 anyway

About how long do you guys let filters go for? I usually give them a year. Claims say they go for 2.........But>>>>safe/sorry.
