Did you deal with broad mites Tonight? I've heard em called the borg.... nasty fuckers.
Yes OgEvilgenius, they are the fucking devil! I couldn't figure out for basically a whole tent worth of plants at first what was going on. At first, it seemed like some sort of nutritional problem, perhaps a magnesium deficiency. It slowly progressed over all the plants. I used neem oil, made weird concoctions of pepper sprays with garlic, peppers of all kinds, and soapy water. Nada, the bastards came back. Tried cooling my room down as they only seemed to thrive in flower ( turns out they desire a nocturnal environment and I run 24/0 in veg), that didn't stop them. Shoved all the plants into the shower and had them in hot steam for over an hour, nothing. Bleached my space each attempt, they kept coming back! Finally I resorted to avid, not thrilled to have to resort to poison but other than leaving the room dormant, it was a last resort. I simply followed the directions, less is more, and didn't stay in my room (where my garden is) for 48 hours until it was safe. I know people have mixed feelings on it, but it does break down and the plants were in veg that were sprayed prior to flower twice (I killed off all flowering, spraying them would have resulted in having possible pesticides at the time of harvest). ETA I haven't seen those terrible creatures since. They honestly are the worst! Once you've noticed the signs, it's really too late as the plant has been poisoned and slowly starts to die.
