If you got broad or rust mites you will see them under a scope on 60x. With your naked eye it will look like there's dust on your leaves especially on the new growth.

I am really hoping that this is not what I am dealing with, can anyone tell me if it is the broad mite?

 

[Storm Shadow]

Definitely broad mite. Pretty bad case, too. sorry.

they can be saved with avid or forbid and they'll come back to where you can get cuts
if you want but times a wasting and you need to act immediately.
from the time i see the symptoms there's roughly 12-14 days
before they are trashed.
ive had plants worse than yours and they came back pretty good.
just depends how bad you want to save a keeper pheno.
if its a cut you can replace, Id start fresh and anything and i mean anything\coming into the garden gets treated for broads and PM.
its a dirty world out there these days

When I had 'em, the egg sacs were spread around.

To find the adults look at the junction of the fingers and the first 1/4" of stem. Also look at the stem/vein running down the center of each finger, yeah way down in that crack where the vein and leaf join. Always near the finger union. Look close and hold still, they're there. Think small see-thru slightly tan mites on those stems. Kinda like honey drops.

Every now and then you'll see an adult trucking across yer leaf carrying a load on his back. I first thought a mite was removing a dead carcass from her nest. No, adult males sniff out female young'uns in the nursery and snatch one when ripe. Throw her on their back and take off for less crowded areas of yer plant.

Read all you can and develop yer program. I used Botanigard, Spinosad, SucreShield, and Neem. Every 3 days, rotated.

Strict adherance to schedule is critical....

Broad Mites, fuckin nasty shit there....Good Luck wit dat

Respect,

Respect,

rip, your the only other person that's seen the males grab the gals up and take em home
i read about it last year and then actually saw saw it happening.
if you know what the little guy is doing is hilarious imo
reminds me of the image of a caveman dragging a women
by her hair back to his man cave lol!

thats how they spread is when they start to multiply and become territorial when the woman enters the pic.
by the time you see the symptoms from the toxins in their saliva
you are IN-->FESTED!

they are all over the place by that time
but prior to becoming over populated to the point they kill off the host, they love to live in the cracks and crevasses of the leafs
and where ever it like that

Yeah that is the messed up thing, I rarely have strains that are only held by me but I have a few keepers right now that I don't think I could source elsewhere. If I take all plants out, clean the heck out of the room with bleach and then wait a week to plant again should all be well, or is it like pm and I am just dealing with it for the rest of my life? Thanks for the help in advance, my heart is aching right now.

I'm not sure if that is really the case, or not. I think you may be seeing
an adult that has partially molted and still has his old carapace attached.

Did some quick research, your totally correct!

[lost in a sea]

your right actually they do lol..

 

[the gnome]

its amusing, they look like plump little piggies
with one on the others back
but not like they're humping.
the one i saw, the gal was on top had her legs sticking straight up in the air,
i couldn't figure how the male was toting her like that....
as they say
where theres a will.... lol

 

[Kcar]

In my research, I read that the male has two specially formed legs to carry the females with, at a right angle. Trippy shit!
