I thought it was broadmites so I treated with avid then forbid then sulfur. 3 weeks later my plants are still damaged and seem stunted, no growth for weeks. Some plants that have less damage seem like they're growing but others are not

Pics are not showing up man so can't really tell. You need to get at least a 60x magnifier and scope the plants out to see if any are running around. Is the damage centered on the growing tips? If so broad mites are the likely culprit. I battled them over the winter and ended up giving up and chopping down everything I had and leaving my room totally empty for 2 months. Starving them out is a surefire bet and I haven't seen any on my 3wk old plants......yet(knock on wood:hide:). Good luck dude

Why does everyone think it’s broad mites, and then treat without positively identifying them. If they are there in numbers large enough to damage the plant, you will be able to find them easily with a scope

Yeah you should really know for sure before using heavy pesticides. I though I had a deficiency at first after all the pistils died off and the buds started warping. Wasn't even thinking it was a pest when I pulled out a 60x microscope to check on the trichomes. That was when I saw them running around everywhere they weren't even on my radar prior to my recent experience i grow from seed indoors and was never really concerned about pests before I got them.

Still not coming through man hopefully somebody can explain how to upload pics I've never had to so I never bothered to figure it out myself. Do you have a magnifier that's at least 60x? That's the only way you can know for sure what's going on. If you do have broads I reccomend shutting down and starving them out if your indoors if you really want to be sure you get rid of them. Good luck

outdoor...cupping...burning on outside leaf edges and new growth in cupping upward.


very rocky and arid soil.

water issue has caused stress to plant dot see any tell tale signs of mite holes or hole patterns.

use an drip irrigation feed system if posable.

The soils fine it's ocean forest, it's just arid around the hole. And there are definitely holes in the leaves/spotting.

If ur plants are damaged from mites you will find them. . Take a magnifying glass and look under the leaves. There not that hard to spot if u got damaged plants.
