Hey The Gnome...sorry you had to join our party. Unfortunately, Floramite does not work on Broad Mites ( at least well).

yeah...this is one party I didn't need lol!

well i hate to hear about the floromite, I guess avid or forbid will be the heavy duty stuff, till then I with use no pest strips and and see how they like that.

This is a Shitty party to be at no doubt, but there is hope around the corner with the right treatments. Its been about two weeks since I used Forbid @ 1/8th Teaspoon/gallon plus Monterey Spinosad 60ml/gallon. This knocked them back, but it wasn't enough to eliminate the buggers.

The plants have responded well still, some better than others. While my MangoHaze seem to be impervious to them after suffering badly before. Ever since the reveg it seems the mites avoid them. But anyways, back to results thus far. Most of my plants are doing much better, but they require repeat applications of Miticide if your mite infestation is bad, such as mine was/is. Always hit the newest growth with each application. Its critical to apply the miticide there.

I just applied Avid last night @ 1.1ml/gallon to my plants in veg. I hope this will wipe em out, but Ill be hitting them up in another 28 days with Forbid again. Im gonna find a good soft soap wash to apply as another preventative measure in the meantime.

Hey Dave,
Did you mix the Forbid & Spinosad together or spray each seperately? I know of I used to mix Orthonex & Malathion together in the same tank for ornamentals & it gave a nice synergistic effect.

LOL, you guys are fighting a losing battle. The only cure for these fuckers is to toss everything, nuke your room and start over. You'll see.

Your funny dude...sorry you couldnt keep up with the routine to eliminate these fuckers... I dont have them anymore...havent for quite sometime...and they were everywhere....just because your work ethic and budget didnt allow you to get the job done...doesnt mean we''ll follow in your footsteps... they are easy as fuck to kill with all the chemicals rotated just a few times....

I eliminated them with one application of Avid, and I cannot imagine being more infested than I was. I added a few drop of dish detergent to ensure adequate adhesion and I took great care to completely saturate every node. It was not a casual spraying, nor an easy task, but it was effective in eradicating them.

bump... hey dave...did you mix the two together?
if not did your treat with the forbid and the spino in the same sitting or alternating every few dyas or so?
I'm getting more spino today and ordering avid and forbid.

one application and gone, did you retreat for the egg hatchlings?
or does avid do in eggs?
how much water do you add a few drops of dishsoap to.

feeling much better today knowing death is right around the corner, i tented one of my grows in plastic and put a few NPS's in last nite, anxious to see some of these fukers in their death throes... it will make my day!

Avid does work on eggs & it is "translaminar" meaning it enters the leaf and has some residual killing power

I would wait 2 days before judging the effects of the HSNPS

on the NPS Ive been using them for a few years now and they do in regular mites
but they are much more effective if you concentrate the gas, like tenting plants in plastic, you can over do it though.
two years ago someone here on IC put a small plant(16oz cup) and put it in a small square box just big enough for the plants and strip, and left it over nite and the plant died.

i had 2 trays of 3 wk old seedlings in beer cups and found mites and eggs had made a home on several plants, the seedling room was small, 3x4 w/8ft ceiling.
I put a NPS in the middle of the plants and 3 hours later nearly 25% were inactive and dying, they were the ones that couldn't get away from the strip fast enough.
so I got another strip in and put one at each end of the trays and i six hours about 3/4 were dead or inactive.
i could have tented the trays and 1 NPS would have done the job completely in 6 hours.

I have an idea on how to knock em down using a heat gun like you use for stripping paint.
I bet you can hit the plant st close range quickly with hurting the plant but frying the mites, i'm giving it a try tonite and see what it does.
I know it will kill em but if you have to hit it long enough to kill the mite and maybe eggs also but not damage the greens
it won't get all of them of course
but it will put a major dent in their plans for the day
