I went on vacation and preventative spraying hasn't happened for three weeks! I came home and noticed some curled (banana effect) on the newer leaves.. Thought maybe it was the heat as I'm in a greenhouse and it was a hot day! That evening they looked the same, so I pulled a few leaves and confirmed its broad mites!! FUCK!
I've read up on ways to possibly irradicate or at least keep them at bay and have already gone on the offensive!

Question is... My greenhouse is 30X48 and I have 48 plants in there..all between 5-7 feet tall. Can I go through and essentially amputate everything that "looks" infested and keep up my spray routine... OR...
Should I throw a plastic bag over the plants that are the worst and try to save the rest?

This is what the worst plants have on them.

I have ordered predator mites from Arbico Organics... www.arbico-organics.com
the thing is it takes a lil while for them to establish and the repeat ordering which is advised can be costly...i think i would fog them first and you can get stuff that won't kill the predator mites...so you can introduce them right away...good luck...DJXX

Yes good advice, I am not used to treating such large areas!
