Mites are literally the ducking worst.

[RealizedReal000]

I have ducking broad mites looked under a 100x micro scope. I’m doing everything I can and don’t want to trash but I’ve seen all the horror stories and this is the first time I’ve ever had this problem in all my grows it’s never happened. Doing neem oil and water and a couple drops of dye free soap. Next is an azamax dunk and drench. Any other things I should do?

Yeah I’m gonna order some too.

 

[RealizedReal000]

Which one did you get?

 

[quirk]

Natural Guard Insecticidal Soap. Can be used through harvest if you're at that stage.

How far along are you?
Green cleaner is sent from heaven.
I had mites back in Nov. They’re bad but you can get your garden back minus the horror stories you’ve heard. I did.

A strong dose of pyrethrin will kill some mites. Good to mix in with your oil based sprays.

Broad mites will be unaffected by neem/ azamaxx ... use flying skull nuke em or big time exterminator at 2 oz/gal every other day.

The predators you would use are A. Andersoni or A. Swirskii available at arbico organics in AZ

You literally need to wash everything in bleach or throw it away. Theg get on the pots, they crawl on the floor or table to get from plant to plant. They also get blown in the Fan to get spread. They also spread by hand contact to plant.

There are some serious killers for them, but they also come with serious side effect potentially

maybe reach out to @Seraphine
she has a degree in pest and insects.. she knows her stuff.,
though i haven’t seen much of her on here lately..

Sulfur burner will kill broad mites, need to be able to vent the space safely though. I used it in a greenhouse last summer. They also make a sulfur spray if it only a few plants. The burner is great though, fogs everything in the room. I did it for an hour, few hours after dark. Every 3rd day till all the mites were dead.

Like week two of flower maybe less. Lol

 

[RealizedReal000]

Ok so neither the neem or the azamax worked. Had to start over. I have started spraying inside and out with suspend to take care of everything then gonna reset I two weeks to make sure everything is gone then back at it. :(

 

[Heynow]

You need to bun them with the citric acid in nukeem or bte. That's the only way to stop them

 

[Heynow]

Neem is NOT recommended for Cyclamen mites
Pyrethrin doesn't work either.

 

[Heynow]

Bombing the tent is useless too.

Bleach.

Citric acid.

 

[lvstealth]

will diametric earth kill mites?

 

[Grapefruitroop]

For next time use Avid alternated with Forbid...read the label, wear protections....and you will never deal with em again.
After you can introduce predators to keep the ground you conquered...
Agree with heynow that bombing the tent is useless as bombing anything without have first a well organized plan of attack....
Thers no need to wait weeks either if you apply the miticide and eggicide properly...
You need some Translaminar poison in order to effectively deal with those basterds....
Translaminar means that the poison enter the leaf tissue transforming the leaf itself ina bait....on the leaf surface meanwhile the poison will degradate fast leaving no toxic residue....
ONLY during veg....never spray in flower...
Those creatures are microscopic so any contact poison will be never effective given the very high chances to miss them...
Good luck!!

Thanks guys. Gonna just start over and make sure my house is bug proof. I was already in flower so it didn’t help. Lol
I trashed everything. Only thing I kept was the lights. Tent and all. Lol

If they have an exoskeleton DE earth.

Well the way I look at it those girls were only 27 days old. On most of em I was doing Gaia green and coco. Using lift the pot method to tell me when to water and I do have to say that I think it would have worked the whole life of the plant. So I think I’m definitely gonna do it again. They looked amazing before the mites. Lol
