Super Mites

Hard to believe the forbid didn't work, it takes time tho. How much did you use? 1mL/gal? For best knockdown you can go as high as 1.2 mL/gal.

Mixing in the tetrasan will help stop the eggs.

Have you tried adding TetraSan to the mix?

Is that the one that gets eggs and larvae, but not adults?

Forbid did nothing, that's why I'm leaning towards it being fake off of fleabay. I did use 1ml/gal.

The tetrasan is an ovicide.

May have been fake, it doesn't knock them down immediately tho.

If you are in veg and want an fast knockdown that won't last use a pyrethrin bomb three times, like every other day, by then the forbid and tetrasan should have them on lock if you got good coverage with your application. Use the forbid once at 1.2ml/gal with the tetrasan, I forget but I think it was 1 gram per gallon, so you did the forbid already.

Still in veg, not attempting flower until/if I get ahead of these

I don't know if anyone's mentioned Nematodes. I see Predator Mites, I use them in my mulch bin. I also use Nematodes, they are parasites that will infect gnats, spider mites, thrips, white flies, and any other pest that lays larvae type eggs. I run a TLO and my organics will kill any pest in there. Peace and good luck

I used forbid 4F and End all 2 to wipe me clean .

Then I used 4 avid spayed plants as bait ,

You're not actually going to smoke these plants after all these chemicals, are you?

At this point I'm just trying to hold on to the genetics. But yeah I probably won't be flowering them. Use them for mother's most likely and flower the clones.

As long as he rinses the plant off well before he induces blooming, it should be safe to smoke shouldn't it? He's currently in vegetative stage.

Will sealing the tent and raising Co2 levels to 10000ppm for an hour not kill all life but plant?

What I use and has nullified the little fucks ....

Isopropyl alcohol 70%
Water
Few drops of plain dish soap.

I mix a 1:2 or 1:1 ratio of alcohol to water .. adding a few drops of dish soap to aid in blocking breathing and insects metabolism. By using a light soap mix ( drops ) you will not leave a residue. Alcohol will kill them on contact and evaporate quickly.

I pick up my pots ... tilting slightly and broad spray the undersides of all leaf material including buds . While I turn pot to completely spray underside . Even webs on tops a simple quick mist will kill them on contact. Even my flowering plants... it does nothing negative to the buds .

( you will be able to scope and see how quickly it works ) ..... I treat again after leaves have dried.
Even the little pearl eggs will be affected. I do this daily for 3-4 days as it takes about 4 days for eggs to hatch . I scope varies places on leaf to confirm effectiveness before next spraying .

You will see dehydrated adults and nymphs. The alcohol will penetrate the outer cuticle layer of the little shits and kill them on contact. Flowers can be quick sprayed ( mist ) and will not suffer . A bud wash ( dunk ) after harvest will remove the corpses . I have used various chemicals before and always use this instead. It evaporates quickly and is safer than more common insecticides.

It will kill aphids , whiteflies , gnats also ....




My 2¢ .....

I dunno. I wouldn't put anything on my plants that I wouldn't consume, vegetative or flowering, but that's just me. Just sounds like a chemical cocktail to me lol.

I've read about the crazy resistant little buggers but in the past I've been easily able to knock them down and thought it was just people not properly taking care of things. But this mite I have now has survived everything I've thrown at it. I've contemplated throwing everything out but I have a pretty amazing strain I don't want to lose. They came on a few clones I got from someone .I even dipped in floramite as a precaution as soon as I got them.

What I've tried:
Avid- useless like spraying water
Floramite- slows them a tiny bit but not for long
Forbid- Did nothing.... ( I ordered this from fleabay) came in a little vile, maybe fake?
Azamax this is not cheap and just slowed them.

Besides just giving in and tossing everything, anyone have any tricks up their sleeves?

Try mighty wash spray top,bottoms of leafs and rinse off with plenty of fresh water and let dry with lights off

End all 2 has really knocked them back. Couldn't find any moving. Will try to repeat every 3 days for 3 weeks.
