Broad mites - Kill the Bastards

Well ended up with one plant with strange twisted growth / shiny malformed leaf. Not on the whole plant but a top and stem.

Never had to deal with these but have dealt with some bug issues over the years. I clipped top / removed plant and treated with a wet table sulphur spray to nuke the bastards. I also did some “ preventative “ across the remaining plants but this one solo plant with one affected stem had to be remedied. Growth appears twisted / curled.

I tried using my digital microscope to see the enemy but they well known to be quite tiny.

God Damn you Bugs !

Yikes! I've never had broad mites but have had the damn mutant spider mites that I battled off and on for years until I got proactive with pest management/deterrent practices.

Yeah that tumor looking shit had to go

Destructive little bastards!

It was on a plant flipped about 4 days ago. I was looking at it as it grew out and not seen it on any other place on plant. Only that one stem.

It was a main but oh well.
