So how would I get these you think? No one has access to my room all grown from seed and just completed 2 successful rounds no insects at all and I see zero bugs in my flower room not so much as a fungus may even when I use a magnifying glass no bugs also this is a room with 24 flowering plants this is the only one looking like this

all i know is you got em and you need to read my thread. I found an all natural product called Big Time Exterminator check it out
Should I just get rid of this plant? Only one showing signs like this and it's relatively new so maybe just chuck it before it spreads?i set off a pyrethrum bomb in the room and sprayed with pyrethrum as well as put tangle root on the stalks and a granulated thing you top dress with that tears gnats up when they come up through the soil
It's also the youngest in my flowering to and my clone only purple kush sr71 but I ain't afraid to chuck it just need encouragement I've never been affected by any bugs but I think I've traced the source maybe I'm thinking it came from my garden store co2 exchange or I just remembered I had a friend over with mites we never went anywhere near the grow but he was I side we mad contact examined his buds under some microscopes and that was that I then showered and didn't go in my room all day but get I still got it somehow someway any tips or advice are helpful I akready read your forum
My plan if action was spray infected plant with pyrethrum set off pyrethrum bomb dispose of infected plant then I spray all plants with liquid lady bug a spider mite spray for veg and bloom it's a peppermint/ citric acid oil mix in a few days I will then spray with mighty wash and pyrethrum bomb once again any other suggestions or ideas things to add from I there's would be great

Get a microscope and check to see if u can spot them. if its broadmites pyrethrum wont work. They need a miticide that is rated to kill them. Ones I know of are avid and forbid. Both powerful miticides that require good safety precautions and ppe. Check out the broad mite thread for more info, but this is basically it.
Yeah I never seen a pic like that damage in the other thread I was helping u in, it could be broadmites.

you must have not checked my thread. Pyrethum wont do a damn thing. Just toss it if possible. OR you can submerge the plant in 109 degree water for 15 mins tht will kill em. you only Organic options are predatory mites, hot water, or the "big time exterminotor" product i listed
hot water doesnt work. itll kill the plant. hot air on the other hand will.
a member named retrogrow has used the hot air treatmet quite successfullyu but im not sure if works as a stand alone for erradication. basically you heat the room to 122 and use fans to eliminate cool pockets. there is some prescribed amount of time it takes. it pretty effective from what i understand.
the miticides are really effective too if used correctly and in rotation. organic requires a shut down and start over i my opinion.hit retro for hot air specs.

make sure its broads. there are other ways to damage the new growth but it looks like it could be. just would suck if it tured out to be some other kind of damage and you were going through a bm treatment for no reason. its a big deal. a scope costs less than what a bm treatment will cost you and if it is bms you need the scope anyway. minimum 100x.
its defiately possible to track em in on feshly used equipment. they live 11 daays if i remember right without a host.

Also I have the avid but have yet to use it in my flowering room my veg and cloning area I hit with it the other day and I probably should get a better scope before I spray the flower room with it which is now 7 days in and they all will go 60+ days I've heard the avid can leave residue or something in the flowers for like 4 weeks? So probably the sooner the better?

I wouldn't use it on any buds so if ur going to u better asap. but I don't spray anything in flower with miticides, I think its too risky even though I think avid has a 21 day phi on tomatoes, we don't smoke tomatoes.
