Looks like some badass thrips damage
hey midnight,Nope, not thrips, it is the dreaded fucking borg. These cats don't know what they are up against. Much respect but you will not kill this bug. A complete room tear down and nuking is all that will work.
gonna invest in some predator mites(thanks gt!) so i have something else in my arsenal to fight these little terrors.
hey midnight,
.. I can tell you that I would put a flame thrower to the plant you pictured. You've got a thriving pest hatchery going if the damage is that bad.
Hey Storm, What brand Triple Action neem are you using. When I do searchs I see one thats 70% Neem & 30% other ingredients. There's also something out there alled Triple Action Plus II that has 70% Neem, .25% Pyrethrins & 2.5% Piperonyl Buloxide.
Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes for their plants to recover after treatments?
Spinosad had no effect on my little devils at 60mL/gallon.
After using Avid @1.5 mL/gallon, it took mine a few days until they looked happier. It has been 6 days now, and they are showing definite signs of improvement and they clearly show new vertical growth and happy leaves. They were in truly bad shape before treatment, I was too ashamed to take or post pics.
Thanks for the feedback on Spinosad and Avid. I inspected some of my plants, and Im still seeing adults walking around, and virtually none dead. Im gonna order some Avid as my counterpart to Forbid.
I feel your shame. I used to be able to grow some gorgeous plants, then all the sudden, plant health dropped off. Its a struggle I hope no one has to deal with.

Growtech, before I realized I had Broad Mites, my plants would be stunted in flowering for about a month. Resin would still begin to develop even though all the affected plants had stunted darkbrown/black pistils. Then suddenly they would start to flower normally. Always from the bottom up. If what Ive read, broad mites work they're way from the bottom of the plant upwards, so I imagine this could be why lower growth flowers quicker as there should be less of a broad mite population there.
Ive never been able to find any mites on fully developing flowers. I take it the broad mites dont like the sticky nature of the resin heads, and move off to find easier food allowing the buds to flower properly. Have you noticed this trend too?
