Broad Mites?

[the gnome]

thanks max,
thats good to know i may still have to deal with hatchlings in a few more days.
although the volck oil spray i hit em with weds. didn't affect the BMs it will kill eggs so maybe that did the trick.
on my out door grow there is nothing left alive, the only BMs i saw wern't moving and they were the color of tea,
plus the temps hit into the 30s and below last nite so i think its a done deal for
that gang of mites

 

[chemoboi]

I'm not saying Avid is an ovacide, but it kills multiple generations of mites. Avid goes into the plant tissue and stays there for some time (how much time depends on a lot of factors, but it's at least several days). So the eggs may hatch, but when the new mites munch down, they get a facesquirt of Avid.

Unfortunately, a few lucky ones will feed on new growth that formed after the Avid spray (which hopefully is happening only in veg). These lottery winners reproduce during flowering and start to rebuild the colonies. So we have to keep treating somehow. Maybe I'm the only one, but I just can't stand the smell/taste of neem so I'm going with predators during flower.

Triple Action Neem Oil is nothing like Pure NEEM .... its more like Azamax/Azatrol... mixes into water with ease and doesnt need to be shaked up.... I sprayed up until week 6 of flowering...no damage and no after taste what so ever ... Triple Action Neem is a staple product for ALL Mites/PM...

I found a source for small bottles of Avid in costal north county
PM me if ur in need

 

[the gnome]

well so far what i can say is avid is what you want to use with these demons.
I still have no movement 4-1/2 daze later.
still scoping but so far so good.
one thing I need to add,
these lil fookers are small... 1/150th of an inch small.
so they can burrow deep into cracks and folds in plant matter in veg. so you have to be Xtremely exacting when you spray them and probably just expect some to live so be prepared to retreat with forbid.

if your into 12/12 and you have any sizable amount budz they will get into
them and the avid won't get them.
if your in flower I hate to say your pretty much fooked

Im glad your having good success with Avid. Here is to a full speedy recovery.

I must take some exception with being 'pretty much fooked' if you have them in flower. Clearly the last place we want them is during flowering, but you can still pull off a harvest if they're around during flowering.

Ive seen plants go from being badly affected, whose buds are shriveled with black pistils, to having large fat chunky buds as most of my MangoHaze seed plants did. Although one lady took much longer to recover from the mites, and never completely flowered normally. Some buds looked pristine, while others clearly had mite damage, with acceptable looking buds, and some buds never recovered at all, and looked hideous.

I think it comes down to how resistant the individual plant is to the mites. Some ladies flowered normally without any treatment after about 4 weeks of difficulties in flower. Others developed semi-normally. They flowered, and developed copious amounts of resin, but the bud structure was affected. Very dense and compact buds on these plants, but small buds who never reached their potential. At first glance these buds may look like they came from a low yielder, but I can see the damage the mites have caused albeit somewhat subtle.

Then you have the poor ones like the previous MangoHaze that just couldn't recover to an acceptable level.

Of course my plants did linger in a horrible state for far longer than I would like, and I lost valuable time waiting to see if they would recover. I imagine if I had known about the problem then and treated them, I think I could have shaved two weeks off of my problems.

Sorry for the long windedness

One last comment, I know you guys wanna save your plants. I get that. But at what expense? Your dosing your flowering plants with extremely toxic chemicals to kill broad mites. Then your gonna smoke the flowers? Or were you just gonna sell the product and hope for a better next round? Either way, glad i'm not on your patients list waiting on meds. Y'all gonna make folks sick and then wonder why. This exact reason is why I at first recommended you clean shop and beg for new genetics from someone who has clean plants.
I mean don't listen to me. I've only been thru this broad mite infestation before. Who am I.... Good luck guys. I'm watching in the shadows. Rooting for the growers not the mites. Fearful for the poor folks unbeknownst to them they will be intaking Avid, Floromite, and all these other badass chems. Sorry cannabis patients but the bottom line is money with these "growers" sad state of affairs. Let the flaming commence...

 

[KRD]

Chili who said anything about spraying during flower? Only in veg from what I have been reading. I use floramite, banner maxx, avid, sure they are strong but people do use them the right way. I have had many many strains tested and nothing has ever tested dirty.

 

[Grow Tech]

I'll say it again....Predators are your friend in flower.

This plant had Broad mites running unchecked all through veg & up to ~week 4 of flower. The buds were nothing more than blistered knots with whithered pistils at that point when I diagnosed the problem. One application of Predators & some time got me to this-

Sure...it's not the best looking bud out there but I won't be kicking it out of my jar.

I told them the same thing and got flamed for it. they won't listen, they insist on nuking their buds and then doing who knows what with it.

take that shit talking somewhere else. this is the broadmite thread, a place where we talk about how to fight and WIN against these destroyers. not a place where we go to bitch and cry because we couldnt handle some bugs and decided to give the fuck up.

I FOR ONE have beat these things without the use of hardcore chems. i had lost one crop in december and was about to lose another 10 days into flowering when i diagnosed. this is what worked for me, NO HARSH CHEMS
sprays(uing dynagrow protekt as an emulsifier)
day 1 spinosad
day 3 neem oil
day 5 spinosad
day 8 neem
also used half a hot shot pest during in both tents for a few week. when spraying you must get right up againsnt the new growth and blast the spray down in there to really get the ones that are hiding. crucial, absolutely necessary or these fuckers will come back. my plants were at day 10 flowering after vegging for 5 weeks so needless this was not an easy task. 12 plants in 5 gals with tons of tops = lots and lots and lots of spraying. each spray down took a good 5 hours atleast but at that point i would have worked around the clock to save my ladies. YOU CAN GET RID OF THESE MITES WITHOUT HARSH CHEMS, IT JUST TAKES SOME HARDWORK, SOMETHING THESE CLOWNS OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

heres a nice big daywrecker bitch on day 38 that had broadmites running unchecked the first 40+ days of her life

HATERS GONNA HATE

. when spraying you must get right up againsnt the new growth and blast the spray down in there to really get the ones that are hiding. crucial, absolutely necessary or these fuckers will come back.


HATERS GONNA HATE

yup ghost thats a fact. I use a pump sprayer and pushed the spinosad, volck oil and avid into the growing tips under pressure.
if you don't they will come back on ya.
it takes time, i spent at least 4+ hours each time I sprayed.

the instructions with avid said this
and they didn't specify any particular type of mite
so take that into consideration:

the life cycle of a mite is 21 days.
avid/floromite lasts for up to 28 days, providing a long contact period so that mites, eggs, larvae, protonymph and adult stages all die.
applying avid/floromite at the 1st sign of infestation helps control the situation before it spreads to other plants.

i read a post earlier where avid was sprayed and retreated again because they didn't killed everything.
this is not a good thing to do because this can result in your breeding avid/forbid/floromite resistant mites and that is an extremely scary scenario.

I started with spinosad and that knocked down some of them, then isoalcohol which kills them for sure but you reallly can't douse em down too much or you'll do more damage with the iso, next was a no pest strip which also helped, then I tried volck oil which kills mites and eggs but doesn't work on the
broads at all.....
avid is what has did the trick for me
but you still need to rotate what your using or trouble is
soon to follow

take that shit talking somewhere else. this is the broadmite thread, a place where we talk about how to fight and WIN against these destroyers. not a place where we go to bitch and cry because we couldnt handle some bugs and decided to give the fuck up.

agreed!
as far as the no chem poster on this page
some just can't seem to accept your point was made.

i had my say on it earlier in this thread and 1 time is all i needed to get the point across

 

[Ultra Current]

You guys have been warned about chemicals like Avid and Florimite. I see some of you choose to be lazy. One day you may regret using it and hurting all the smokers that are going to smoke your crap product. The harmful effects of those chemicals are known. Some of you want to only read the part of the label that makes it ok in your head. It is never ok to smoke cannabis that was treated with Avid or Florimite. Even if you spray in Veg it is still not good to smoke. The blind continue to lead the blind.

These nimrods have no clue and do not give a fuck. Myself, I am enjoying a pesticide free grow.

 

[the gnome]

here's something to ponder....
*some of you* won't smoke anything thats been treated with avid ec/abamectin because of a percieved danger
and thats fine with me.

but fact is every *one of you* have eaten way more crop foods that were treated with it than you probably want to know


it seems some are blinded by their own choice to any facts/proof contrary to their belief and that makes it ok in their head.

You guys are quite amusing... I think your overdue to bump the Spider Mite thread and cry foul play on all the nasty things they use to fight off the BORG

Midnight... I sense you have lost alot of time and money for being too stupid for understanding how to fix this problem... dont take it out on this thread... serious dude..your displaying some very obvious feelings of pain here... I mean if you want to talk about your feelings...I think you should start a thread on how your loyalty in life starts with a daily ritual of Richard Simmons VHS home Edition workouts and and 3 half hour intervals of isolated masterbation sessions to Richad Simmons

Silly Goose...if you were here right now ...Id SPray you with Avid and FOrbid Comob str8 Paula Dean Style baby

I dont believe that Avid and Florimite are approved in the USA for food crops to humans. On the label it talks about Ornamentals. The tomatoe and cucumber addition is confusing. Im going to talk to the companies that make Avid and Florimite to see what they have to say about this situation. I will make a thread about what they tell me and Ill also send out samples taken at different times after treatment to a variety of labs to get more accurate data. For now Ill leave you with this quote that is taken off of the makets of Avid website:


"Abamectin Added to California Proposition 65 List
11.23.11
Abamectin, the industry standard for mite and leafminer control, has been added to Proposition 65 in California
Several Syngenta agricultural and lawn and garden products contain abamectin
Syngenta is updating labels and packaging for impacted products
*
GREENSBORO, N.C., USA – Abamectin, the industry standard for mite and leafminer control, has been added to California’s list of Proposition 65 chemicals. This addition is based on the identification of abamectin as a chemical known to the State of California (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment) to cause reproductive toxicity.
*
Several Syngenta agricultural and lawn and garden products contain abamectin as an active ingredient, including Agri-Flex™ miticide/insecticide, AgriMek® brand miticide/insecticides, Ardent™ 0.15 EC miticide/insecticide, Avid® 0.15 EC miticide/insecticide, Clinch® fire ant bait, Epi-Mek® 0.15 EC miticide/insecticide and Optigard® fire ant bait.
*
“The effectiveness of abamectin has not changed, and Syngenta products with abamectin continue to deliver the performance users have come to expect,” says Geoff Lower, brand asset lead, Syngenta. “Regular, ongoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review of studies supporting abamectin has suggested the potential for reproductive toxicity, and under California's Proposition 65, all such compounds must be noted.”
*
Syngenta is updating abamectin-containing product labels to include the statement:
Attention: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
All product cases that include the updated label will carry the symbol “u”next to the product ID for easy identification by distributors and retailers.
*
“Syngenta also will send out supplemental labels with the updated language to our distribution and retailer customers, so they can supply it when current unmarked product in their warehouses is purchased,” Lower says.
*
California’s Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. It is updated at least once a year and currently contains approxiamtely 800 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals.

*
