Broad Mites?

[SOURCOOPER]

Have been struggling to find the cause of this! Looking through some pictures the one that looks like my girl the issue was Broad mites. I need help from people who know more about this then I do.

Thank you for your time!

I believe you are correct sir. Notice the crooked tips. What is your plan of action?

 

[SOURCOOPER]

After getting a close look I found spider mites. So I thinned it out a bit, and started to treat with Azamax.

Looks more like a deficiency, I have the same looking leaves on one plant that is whorled.

I sure hope it isnt broads...

If you got spider mites you need to spray every couple days and use another product besides azamax, like sulfur or whatever

Add some Cal mag to your mix and this marbling will fade. Mites, Id use some Iso and water at a ratio of half pint to a gallon. Or neem is always nice. This marble is a Cmv supposedly. Cannabis mosaic virus. And not broads pretty pos on that.

I agree , if your worried it's broad get a cheap 100times scope and look. Broads and russets attack new growth , turn it brown . Then when you scope the brown you will see millions of them at work.

@CaliRooted is dead on. I beat the mites. I'm only sharing what I found to be best after doing research.

1. Neem oil/aloe
2. Spinosad
3. Rosemary tea w/ organic clove, peppermint, lavender, and tea trea oil
4. Repeat 3x

I did 4 rotations of this.

well, the mottling is not spider/broad mites, although you can have those doing other things. So don't go all crazy poisoning your plants unnecessarily.

there is no definitive answer to what is causing those symptoms you are experiencing. some claim a deficiency, those people are usually trying to sell clones. I have seen this "deficiency" spread between clones so it does seem to be infectious.

If you have the liberty, you would probably be best off tossing all affected plants, but I know this is in some very cherished clones...

oh, my best guess is the Asters Yellows - google will show some scary pics!

I don't have any brown on any leaves, I bought the highest power magnifying glass and only saw spider mites.

Yeah I saw that and that is what led me to the broad mites.

 

[GrowGod]

Then you got nothing to worry about. Spider mites are a piece of cake :)

My new growth on the mottled one looks good and green after a tea but I have some gnarled growth on a nearby clone so Im going to scope everything...

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

gnarled growth plant has no signs of bugs I can see

 

[Organikz]

aww damn...i think mine are popping back up on my afghan cow and i'm in flower!

I beat them down in veg and they're back to haunt me.

You may have a mite problem. But honestly it looks like you have tobacco mosaic virus!

 

[Brotha Grimm]

That is tobacco mosaic virus which can be systemic. It is a problem with ph. Which causes the symptoms to come apparent. An organic method to recorrecting the problem is by spraying with milk. Trust me I’ve been growing for years.

 

[Seraphine]

Can you post a pic of what you saw through the scope? Two-spotted? If you have two spotted spider mites then rotate every 3 days with a miticide with a different active ingredient. Green cleaner works good on mites and they can’t build up a resistance to it. If you are struggling to get rid of them, I can give you info on a couple bioinsecticide products that will wipe them out.

If it’s broad mites

Pfr 97 will fight broad mites and is listed for that The humidity requires you when you apply and when it drys on you have to have a higher humidity level ( 80% on canopy )
Met 52
And predator mites

That’s how evergreen suggested it


I realize there’s many options but just wanted to give another option .
