Damaged plants from Broad ,cyclamen,Russet Mites

[Sgtstadanko707]

I guess go organic and if it doesn't work, you can get some cheap Avid off of ebay (small amount) and it will def. work, but being in flower and all, that's tough. Maybe that OG BioWar stuff?

Avid would be all bad at this point in the season. I am hoping this stuff works. It's just spotted them this week so I should have a chance.

Pretty sure I have read great things about the OG BioWar as well, as a back up...Neem?

Neem during flower. Not a chance. I have neem cake built up in my soil.

Anyone dealing with them. This mycotrol o shit works.

 

[merkaba]

Ohhhh yeah, I forgot Neem is so stinky duh. You are outside?

 

[merkaba]

I think the stuff you are using plus some predators would do the trick. I have def. found when using predators that it's best to use waaaaaaaaaaaay more than they suggest. Best of luck!

Yeah. 24 in 100's
I will spray for a week and then releases the predator mites. It should work.

Broads or spider mites?

You will be able to see spider mites and webbing
Your plant will start to look like this.
It will look like you plant has a rust tint taking it over.

 

[MelloYello]

Yeah, I have them under control

They said nukem work well but the link I posted is the end all be all along with predatory mites.

ppl are reporting burning be careful

 

[Sgtstadanko707]

I got a question. I had a little battle with them but win. I am
An organic farmer that rebuild his soil. Is there a way I can reuse my soil with out worry that they will come back.

 

[merkaba]

So you did take care of them in the end? I don't see why you couldn't reuse your soil, esp. if you are in an area that gets a few killing frosts. But I suppose looking at their life cycle, ability to go into stasis etc. would be prudent.

Did you notice a decline in quality and health to the broad mite damaged plants? I lost my killer sativa to BMs--she was high TCH/CBD and a good yielder until the BM attack. After the attack, she became a fussy pussy with diminished yield; had to let her go.

Yeah it hit my yields on a couple of them. They suck the life out of the plants.
That mycontrol spray that I posted above worked but it ain't cheap.
I think I will use it as a preventative spray next year.
I think they came from a pine tree in my neighbors yard.
These things are a nightmare.

 

[EclipseFour20]

Yeah, it has been my understanding (talking to other growers and hydro store owners) that BMs devastate the plants atrociously! I was not alone in kissing goodbye to "one of a kind" genetics. Had I known before I started what the consequences would have been, I would have approached my infestation with a different strategy: cull, clean, restock & IPM.

 

[Rakosnicek]

hi, what do you think about these? they're on 34.day 12/12, but 'buds' are pretty retarded... all problems started when plants showed first pistils - they were dead, very small and had dark colour

i've very problematic round now... spider mites and some problems with leaves, probably caused by ph, but i know these problems well and i didn't seen this before...

 

[RetroGrow]

Most likely broad/cyclamen mites. You have to scope them on the undersides of leaves with a 100X scope to look for eggs. Aspirin in the rez would have helped, but at this point, the damage is done, and probably can't be fixed.

my 1st and only BM infestation(lasted 2yrs) hit me in nov 2010
sept-oct 2010 I has white fly prob that i dealt with using Volck oil.
white flies are a known vector for these vermin.
i didn't even know what i was dealing with for 1-1/2yrs.
I lost countless crops and $$investment.
I lost hard earned hard to aquire keepers.
killing them on the plants(veg) is the easy part ime.
if your in flower it's a diff. story.
when i found out It was BMs i was dealing with they were DOA as soon as my avid/forbid arrived
BUT
they kept coming back for over 6months.
until i shut everything down and went nuclear in the grow room
have i been completely BM free.
I sprayed the walls with forbid4ft up.
drenched the cracks and crevasses in the base boards,i
bombed the room with Pylon TR and the gas type bug bombs.
did the heat treatment for 4-5 hrs at a time.
there was carpet under the plastic so I sprayed iso alcohol and put the plastic back down tite
so the fumes killed any live bugs.
I did this for 2wks
i can say Ive been BM free 2yrs this coming march.

you have to be progressive with these things.
keep your scope handy and use it often,
especially if you have a white fly prob
