Got Broad Mites

[zoo]

you will never fully get rid og broad mites on a big bushy plant they hide in the smallest crevices and you need to get every single egg too

best to treat small clones. full no nonsense eradication.

Kontos once and you're done

jidoka, I might add that to my preventative rotation after i get rid of these things. I am going to knock them down with some miticides and then try the more natural methods to keep them away for good.

zoo, that seems like the best approach, increase your chances of getting 100% leaf coverage.

King oscar, I've heard kontos mentioned before. Looks like it is systemic so it should stay around for awhile to kill hatch-lings.

Some people say they tried all of the things mentioned in this thread and still have them. I'd imagine it depends on if it is a resistant population. They reproduce so fast there is chance for micro-evolution .

I tried the hudson fogger out with the Indicate 5 surficant. It works great, the leaf gets completely covered, no dry spots or water beading up. The fogger is pretty intense though, you really have to stand back and hit them from far away because the speed of air coming out of the atomizer. If you have a bunch of plants to do it will save lots of time, but not worth the trouble for a smaller setup.

Plants are already looking much better. I'm going to give them some asprin when that comes in. Got my fingers crossed.

we weren't allowed to use any cides on that job. Killed them with sulfer and prevented further occurrence with nutrition. turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would.

What were you serving?

It is a raw salt mix combined with a weekly foliar program based on horiba sap meter readings and the work of nova crop control. Not close to any bottled mutes

Is it right...this is the internet you gotta decide

Call custom hydro nutrients. Ask about the extra Mo formula. Ask him to jack Epsom up to 3 mmol cause I just am not giving up the foliar

You're not giving up the foliar?! So, are you saying you won't give up with "secret recipe" to possibly help someone's situation with they're plants? Don't get it?

Go Avid .75-1 mL / gallon. Start with pH 5 water. Add a little dish soap. If you could turn your plants upside down and dip the whole plant that would be the best method of application. I have a gallon pitcher and can dunk a whole beer cup sized teen. Just keep your media from falling out.
It's worth repeating that Avid is gnarly shit. Double latex glove or use good dishwashing gloves. Dipping doesn't put as much chemical in the air but it still gives off gasses. Wear a proprely rated respirator, full body clothing...be through in your work but get showered as quickly as possible

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I had to go to the Guru for this. SNS has one additional product called 244 to be used in combination with 217 and 209. They also have a free broad mite kit. All you have to do is pay the shipping. They know all about broad mites, so there is no voodoo or heavy chemicals required.

The additional product, SNS 244, is a fungicide because part of the problem with broad mites is that they create a fungus that stays with the plants and continues to cause problems. 217 and 244 are foliar and when sprayed kill on contact. The 209 is a systemic root drench that will make the plant resistant and undesirable to most bugs, including broad mites. I use 209 for IPM and it's certified organic.

Additionally, I was advised that the application is more effective in a finer mist due to the very small size of the broad mites. An atomizer or very fine sprayer is best.

This is a really "clean" way to go and get the _job done_. Toxic stuff shouldn't be in your house, the air you breathe or your consumables.

I don't work for SNS but I have used their products successfully dealing with bad problems. They have gained my trust. The 209 is certified organic and the 217 & 244 are organic but not certified. They do have similar products that are certified organic in their commercial agricultural section.

Interesting about the SMS stuff but that isnt a broad mite you pictured. I'm the guy that ID'ed them in the stickied thread

I worked for yrs on that by myself. Yea ain't giving it away and don't give a fuck what anyone thinks.

Call CHN. That is 80% plus the 3 mmol tip probably makes it 90. It that ain't enough spoon fed to you go fuck yourself

Good eye. You know your bugs. That's a two spotted mite. My photo. Very troublesome and also a relative to the broad mite.

So let's summarize:
1) ask to be spoon fed
2) get most of what you want
3) cry like the **** you are

Funny. Obviously you have the IQ of a sandwich. Never asked for your recipe, another member did. You acted like a broad, and didnt wanna give it up. I asked why you acted like a bitch in a nice way about helping him, then you started calling me names. We all help each other round these parts junior and share info. Get over yourself...

Avid has an EPA number on the label. Gnarly indeed.

Nothing personal, but I'd rather kill all the plants than put chemicals in them. That's the of the main reasons I grow, So I know what's in there and it's all good.
