Mites show up as little white spots. You'll usually find the buggers on the underside of the leaves. If you've got a crowded room, and don't notice them early, they'll actually make webs - at which point, you're pretty much screwed.
Yeah, I've had two spotted mites before. They are very easy to identify.

From what I gather broad mites are much more difficult to diagnose, and they don't make webs.

I can dig through some old photos in my crypto storage. These ones don't make webs, they move slow and if present, they will be found on the under side of the leaves. Look for little pock marks on the leaves. They grow from the toxin left behind from the mites.

This sounds like thrips...

I doing test right now on these mites,and thrips..trying to see what works,and how it works,and how ones room may become over run with them.

Get it away from me! Can they transfer through the computer screen?! haha.:shock:

Random thought: I don't have too many neighbors. The closest one to me I've never even spoken to. But as I walked my dog by the house today, I noticed the upstairs attic window is cracked about 10 inches (it's fucking COLD right now) and I could barely make out a bit of shiny ducting. I know that game. Funny shit.

those are broad mites hitching a ride on a whitefly .. Yeah they are small. I see mag has a huge thread on broadmites. All the info you need to know in how to identify them and treat. I don't know anyone who has eradicated the problem with out using hardcore chems.. The sooner the better. Look at the GG4 cuts that was passed around from LA high times cup. Broadmite Duds.

Honestly they are the devil of insects. I wouldn't wish them on anyone's garden.

Don't worry about them though, I haven't had them since. Just keep your garden clean and keep an eye on any clones you take in as well as your plants.

Makes me laugh as my window is perpetually open, even during last year's miserable winter. Kinda is a tell tale sign isn't it? But I'm in an apartment and haven't ever had to use my heater minus 3-4 times since I've lived here. Air conditioning is an entirely other matter

Soooo glad I am not in a apartment anymore, move out of my last place in july and haven't looked back.
Heres a shot of everybody, tonight I hung up my IG because I am kinda tired of looking at em under LEDs lol (the panels I was using are 3 years old and are hard on the eyes). 1st row is Golden Triangle, 2nd is White Lotus, 3rd is Black Triangle, and 4th is the 2 lucky charms on the right and on the left is blue dream auto freebie. All of them have been topped except the auto, not everyone digged going straight to Roots organic. Kinda good to know who likes it soft on the nutes atleast though.20141105_215105-1[1].jpg

I don't know if it works or not.. But I just do it now. My dog never had issues with fleas when we lived under a eucalyptus tree..so I figured it might work well to keep other pests away. So I bought some eucalyptus oils mix it with water and spray the room and surrounding areas. I like the smell so why not. Just don't spray your plants.. Or you will have burnt leaves.. Whoops.. Lol

Looks like a nice space. Yes it's not ideal, but it works just fine in the apartment, odors and aromas are the main problem, but I mask them quite well when it comes to chop. Only thing that drives me a tad batty is the fact that one gets so normalized to the smell, you can't realize how much you smell like you rolled around in a cannabis field. Amazing one little plant can create so much odor.

Yeah I was pretty bad about smelling like I used a skunk as deoderant for a while lol. I love me some skunk though, not really sure what smells to expect to come through but really hoping for some chem expressions out of the appy crosses
What does your two white lotus gals smell like TY, since they are about to get the chop they gotta be stanka dank lol.

They reek, the whole tent does that I have to rub a plant once at a time to try and isolate the smells. Still was getting an apricot/peach mango fermenting aroma off of the gals. I notice the Goji aroma as I'm most familiar with her and she reeks too so that's what I pick out most right now but it just fucking smells in there with basically 5 finishing plants. I'll fill ya in more tomorrow when I chop one of the girls down as I'm not home as of now.

I don't use any kind of synthetic/persistent pesticides on my crops, and use organic/natural options for pest control instead.
Spidermites suck, but I've had the best luck with just using neem oil on all my veg plants and transitioning plants, and I never see them. They are a serious presence here in CO, though.
Thrips I'd never seen before I got them on a shop clone. Anything with Spinosad (I used Captain Jack's Deadbug, but it either is or is produced by a soil bacteria, so there's plenty of options) in it will work very well on the thrips. Early thrip damage looks similar to early stage mite damage, but the spots will be more white than yellow. Thrips seemed to cause more serious damage than spidermites, but mites spread and multiply faster.

I've had spider mites and I'll take those any day over broad mites. Neem didn't do shit to a stop them, as spider mites were taken care of by it.

Agree, broad mites are a nightmare. Prevention is the best solution. I only have 2 options when it comes to those bastards and since I'm not a commercial grower. I'm tossing it all. I can always pop more seeds. I've been around long enough to know commercial growers will use anything to save thier investment at consumers risk. Pop seeds and grow your own. That's my approach.

I nuked em. Cleared out the plants in flower as I wasn't going to apply any miticide in flower. Treated veg plants as it would break down before harvest. Two treatments and they were gone.
