If you have mites, yes you need a microscope to see them.
But spraying everyday? That does not sound right. What is he spraying?

My grapes start fading this time of year also (especially if they’re no being feed/watered), but not drastically. The leaves will roll up and brown as it fades. They might have mites, there’re around, and they normally get some PM, but the plants nearby never seem to suffer.

I dont know exactly, but he did say its for mites because I asked him today what he spaying for. And that's when he told me you need a microscope to see them, because I was looking at the leaves and said I dont see anything.
