started noticing leaves doing the canoe on top of canopy.. treated with avid 3day 4day than 3day.. 10 day cycle... thought it had gotten a bit better... afterwards i did a sns209 root drench and azamax spray afer for counter prevention... here i am a couple weeks after (11days)... and im starting to notice this deformity.. the leaves are not canoe but look like they want to get there.. but its been 100 degrees plus past 3 days.. i thought these symptoms would decrease but they are progressively getting worse!! i was using 1yr old fish emulsion to feed, but i have stopped feeding and sprinkled some calmag/ dimataecous earth with light watering.. can this be nutrient burn? i sprayed nuke em 4oz per gallon a couple nights ago.. am i putting to much stress doing the sprays? im puzzled.. i have looked in 100x microscope for the bugs and eggs and there is nothing!!!! at most on the worst wrinkled leaf 1 white dot.. def not like any broad mite egg pics i have seen.. wtf am i doing wrong.. shit is killing me slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes those are bm. Honestly your pretty fucked. Avid kills the live ones but not the eggs. You can try alternating forbid and avid but I'd just start new ones outside.Still got a month of veg left
 
Scope them first. That's the only way o be sure. I have seen humidity issues look similar to broad mite infestations. Not very often though. OGBIOWAR foliar will kill them. Apply every 4 days for a few weeks, and you should be good.

Avid has a translaminar action meaning it is retained in the plant material that was treated for aprx 30 days. This is way longer than the time it takes eggs to hatch so the plant remains protected against the new hatchlings.

kontos root drench every thirty days. alternate a foliar spray. start with avid , then either pylon or forbid second and then the other third. 3 days apart. after that dont dont use avid again and just use pylon and forbid alternating once every two weeks stop when you see flowers. or do what i would do. get new clones replace with as many clones as it will take to fill the same size canopy these would have occupied. higher numbers same yield or more.

ya i didnt see any eggs even at the worst tops... i think i was way to strong in nitrogen..
mushroom compost, topsoil, manure.. 40/40/20... i was trying to pump em up way to early in the game.. there showing a bit of relief from dolomite and shell flour top dress.. watering very very light now... hopefully they will bounce back soon.. growth has def picked up.. still looking for bugs with 100x scope but there is none, so hopefully just the soil prob and i can move forward.. still dissaspointed... wishing my plants were bigger!!! everyday seems like a year to the first week of august...
