Thanks for the responseLooks like it to me. Cool USB camera though. Really nice detail.
I've been thinking the same thing. Where are the adults?!What X microscope is that? And its very odd if they were eggs to see eggs but no adults!
A dip in what? The sulfur seems to leave more residue on the plants when applied with a good sprayer than it does when dipped. I have some harsh shtuff (avid and forbid mainly) which seemed to do nada last time I battled these bastards. Also neem, alcohol, spinosad, horticultural oils, and citric acid products, all seemed to have little to no LASTING effect during the last battle, and all sit seemingly useless in my arsenal.Look under any of the folded leaves. No doubt they are they somewhere.
Personally I would cut off most of the leaves and then do a dip after to better your chances.
Get rid of your soil too and start fresh.
Eh, "for now", that's exactly how I feel, even after a year and a half off here we go againAdults are pretty fast, abhorrent to light and therefore harder to see than the eggs. Broad mite eggs look like little jewels. I can’t tell from pictures. I needed a real student microscope to I’d them on my plants. They’re a bitch to get rid of. Micronized sulphur, pfr-97, grandevo and oroboost all in rotation a few days apart. That’s how I beat them...for now.

Right, looks more like a cyclamen (sp?) mite now that you both mention it. I'll clean up and updateI would clean off that sulfur first like someone else suggested and snap a few more photos. Broad mite eggs will have small little bumps on their surface under the microscope. Could be a different mite also but the rememdy is the same.
Yea. They’re bad. I spray a biocides weekly now for ipm. The Grandevo and the PFR-97 do work on them and have kept them away...so far. The sulfur kills them as well. Some people burn it but I just sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. Good luck killing those fuckers.Eh, "for now", that's exactly how I feel, even after a year and a half off here we go again
No, they are part of the leaf. There was a recent thread about this exact topic on here, if I find it I'll post a linkHello everyone, and thanks for taking a look! Ok so a little background: 1.5 years ago I fought and fought broad mites and finally licked them using wettable sulfur and vaporizing sulfur...closed down shop due to a move...just sprouted some nice beans a couple of months ago and made a noob mistake of keeping the freshly sprouted seedlings in a dome which brought in Fungus Gnats, which then screwed the seedlings up; but I started seeing the tell tale signs of BM or RM (twisting/puffy leaf margins) and culled them out. After the maybe rash decision I couldn't help but wonder if these were symptoms of a failing young root system, not the stupid Broad Mite.
Well I got my hands on some new babies (clones) and preventativly applied wettable sulfur and now have a new USB microscope. Over the last few days of scoping things I've been noticing these translucent round ovals all over the leaves, but not a single movement anywhere. Do you guys think these are BM eggs?? The white stuff is the sulfur residue.View attachment 939587View attachment 939584View attachment 939585View attachment 939586View attachment 939587View attachment 939588View attachment 939589View attachment 939590
