What is best treatment for Broad Mites???

Ouch man, I'm sure that was a difficult realization. For what it's worth a rooted cutting might not have handled it either. I'm pretty sure the heat treatments are meant for reasonably rooted and hydrated plants. I've never tried hot air on cuttings but its relatively tender vegetation that would dry quickly without roots. Hope it wasn't your last one

I have about a dozen or so that I did not treat. I only had broad mites in my veg tent, and have not seen one on any leaves in 4 different areas. Some of the cuttings that were in rockwool, and just popping roots were starting to get some leaf twist, which GG4 gets anyway, but have heard horror stories about broad mites, so wanted to be proactive.

The 3 at top of picture had roots just popping out, and were done separately.
