Hey All,

I think I am dealing with broad mites in my veg tent. I must assume they are in my flower tent too...but I havent seen any stress yet. Can someone confirm that I am looking at broad mite eggs?

If you don’t see any actual bugs then it’s probably not broad. I can literally se them crawling all over my plant and it’s roots when I tossed em last night.

Yes. You can use too much at once. It has alcohol that will dry out the leaves and kill their transpiration.

Citric acid will burn the bugs without harming your plants.

I had them and killed them

Nuke em is literally worth its weight in gold

What happened with me is I brought my outdoor experiment plants in to finish and didn’t know I had them. I call them experiments because I had them in 2 gal pots and was trying to dial in feeding after stretch and one was a reveg I was playing around with. I had plants in veg from seedlings to teens about to be flipped and all of that was halted when I found I had mites.
Was having out of the ordinary trouble in veg with yellowing, so I fed more which compounded the problem with N toxicity. Wasn’t until about a month later that I saw the first signs of mites on those I’d brought in to finish, that was when everything made sense why I was having trouble in veg.
Ordered green cleaner and treated those in veg, transplanted to new soil and bleached my veg rooms. Threw all smaller plants away and kept 6 larger ones. Treated those for 2 weeks and they are in week 4 flower now. Those in bloom with the mites I allowed them to build their web and party all the way to harvest (they’re experiments, why not) they were also in my sealed room so I knew I could keep them contained in there. This is the beginning of the web

A few days later as the plants hanged to dry the remaining eggs hatched and the mites (hate being upside down) travelled to the top of the branches and started building their new web there (perfect!) I gave them a few days to allow all to congregate in the web and I came in and clipped the top of the branches where the mites/webs were into a trash bag.

I let them continue to dry and no other webs were made. That was the last I saw of mites and this was 3 months ago.

never ever bring outdoor to indoor!!!
whenever you inspect outdoor make sure to shower and change cloths before inspecting indoor!..
