mighty wash, like the dude said, one thorough application and no more bugs. one follow up just in case. I use it on spider mites as regular maintenance. and as where if I look hard enough I'll probably find a survivor or two the most you can really settle for (here anyway) is extreme control and mighty wash will do this for 40 bux a month or so depending on how big your grow is.

I believe broad mites burrow into the leaf veins causing the curl. Mighty wash is a contact killing spay.

IF you hit them they will die. Nobody but common sense told me that.
Plus if you apply with a 99 cent walgreens spray bottle of course you won't hit a large percentage of them, I apply with a fucking paint sprayer or at atomizer.
Whether or not mighty wash does broad mites or not I wouldn't know but that's a whole nother bug I've never dealt with.

I think it was legallyflying who claimed ALL things liquid are translaminar , personally I don't think so but didn't read through his idea tl:dr, wrote off as bullshit . But if that's the case wouldn't it even kill ones burrowed in if that's what they do?

the shallow tote allows you to lay the plant on its side, collect the overspray/drippings filter and reuse. That works for spidermites doubt it for broadmites.

I recall someone saying that a metal tipped pump sprayer interacts with the charged water or what ever they use nullifying it? My pump sprayer has a plastic tip. don't know it made a difference or not.

Ya man, an atomizer is the best thing ive found for appying anything. The guy saying earlier he was taking 8 hrs for 48 plants is crazy to not have one already. That would take me 30 minutes max even if theyre not spaced well and you had to move a couple.

I smashed out broadmites with everything i could throw at them, but most effective were, nukem, and greencleaner. Never used azamax and the more i use that stuff elsewhere the more i think azamax isnt all its cracked up to be.

Haven't had the reason but do have a bottle of nuke em that I may get ready for the spring season. Bugs got kinda mild compared to a couple years back but they'll be back I'm sure.
Nuke em work pretty well?

Ya for me, it was the nail in the coffin for them, i was using grean cleaner and a promo product i was using too called thanos i think. It has a rams skull creature with a red lable. I didnt see any after the nukem though.
I love those hand cannon sprayers though. And ya, all buggs have taken off for me too.

I had these fuckers and chopped down and trashed all 5 and started all over i can't tell if I have broad mites again but I spent 4 hours cleaning a 6x2x6 area .. I've been treating with nuke em at 7.0 pH (new clones / replacements which are said to be mite free but i don't believe ) regular strength they are a week into flower and I've sprayed my room from top to bottom. The walls the trays everywhere I could get . I'm paranoid they are going to come back ? I'll take some photos tomorrow for you all to see..

If I sprayed my room down with a spray bottle using nuke em a few times. Should that be enuff to kill them and get the toxin's they dispurse in the air? My area I use is what I use. I can't farm anywhere else.

These things really are tough.... I had them bad as well, and had to chop everything and hit the reset button... Having said that... the best advice i can offer is to be on top of it with your spray routine. If you know the broad mite is a problem in your area, you should spray a minimum of once a week, if you get lazy/miss leaves while spraying or let it go longer than 7 days you're playing with fire.
IF you know you have a heavy infestation, you need to spray Nuke em 2-3 times in a 48 hour window.... broad mites reproduce much faster than most.
