I have eradicated broadmites from 8 grows indoor and controlled them outdoor enough to get to harvest on two farms. We did it with nukem. The trick was to dip the indoor plants completely into the nukem. We sealed the tops of the pots with a cap and flipped them over and dunked them into a kiddie pool once for example. Those damn broadmites curl those leaves up into little tubes that protect them. Spray won't get through it it takes a dunk and some shaking. I'm not saying this is the only way to do it but it worked several times. Seattle went through a broad mite infestation around around 2012 and 13 but I haven't heard anybody having problems since. Most guys rip their grows out and start over but we literally got rid of them completely and the grows ran for months after without recurrence.Man I’m having sooo many issues this grow and now it’s these broad mites. I never even heard of them before now and apparently there almost impossible to irradicate. I’ve already bought 2 bottles of beneficials and they didn’t do shit. I now bought some sulfur and I’m going to try that but my question is should I just start over and clean everything? I’m still in veg but I already have new genetics on the way. Anybody have any advice on what I should do or have any experience with this pest?

They came back recently and the first sign I used nuke em around the tent inside the tent and on plants and soil drench. They haven’t come back nor have they damaged my plants. Just don’t use when lights on. 15 minutes before lights off at most. Really right when the lights go out is perfect to spray under and on the leaves.I have eradicated broadmites from 8 grows indoor and controlled them outdoor enough to get to harvest on two farms.

I think you could do it with some other pesticide they are susceptible to but the key is the is the immersion and we also added a little detergent to increase application. The outdoor grows I think the soap was critical to success. we had one guy who had tried spraying new come and just added some detergent and seemed to get better results but nothing scientific there. One of these grows was 96 plants and the others were under 50. The 96 plant grow was an absolute bitch if you can imagine and there were a couple of them in the 15 to 20 plant range that weren't so bad to do that with.
The key to killing broadmites is to touch them with whatever the hell you're giving them. The only other way to do it is to use systemic pesticides but then you can't smoke the weed without fucking yourself up. Best of luck on this dude that's a bitch of a problem but you'll be a better grower at the back end of it you'll see. Adversity creates strength
But you got to get the surfactant that they have cause it’s also organic.They came back recently and the first sign I used nuke em around the tent inside the tent and on plants and soil drench.

What brand surfactant did you end up using?But you got to get the surfactant that they have cause it’s also organic.
