While researching to find out the pest problem my friend has been having, we came to the conclusion he has broad mites. Would appreciate an advise or expertise on this issue? Thank you very much

Azamax spray or dunk. I like no pest strips to knock em back but some don't.

Thanks. Have been using azamax every 4-5 days and it doesnt even phase them. Even tried Bayer. What kind of damage has occured on yours vs like say spider mite damage? New growth is pale and stunted. Doesnt have the specks like spider mites. Mainly just sickly new growth and bud deformity. Thanks

as I stated in your other thread, Mighty Wash by NPK. I'd almost put money on it.

if you can dunk and are in flower don't dunk in any chemicals, warm water kills those things.
