You're certainly entitled to your opinion & I support your desire to produce pure meds. I know very competent growers who have tested ther meds after using avid in veg & they came back clean. My broad mite prob was solved w/one app of avid after a slew of other RXs failed. I do not condone frequent use of avid & always advocate people wear proper ppe and only use it in veg. You've said your peace...now please let those of us that choose to use avid responsibly do so without being preached to.
all the broad mites i know destroy buds. when you got broads in your rooms there is a good chance you aint gonna be smoking at all!
The swirskii mites have been so effective for me that i doubt you will need any other control, make sure you have enough for the size of your room and release them directly onto the broads. swirskiis were forming a mass on the inside of the lid of the container i carefully divided it up and placed them on top of infested buds 6 days later new healthy bright white pistils!
i cant comment on avid i have never used it, and it looks like i wont need it, still no sign of BM in my rooms
If your pistils start to go brown at 3 weeks and flower development looks behind, that's a common symptom. I initially titled this thread "pistil mites" because that was the symptoms I was seeing and found the little bastards crawling in my flowers
