Mites, and how to rid yourself of them..

I use the Hot shots no pest strips to keep the mites away. I usually will keep the strip in a zip lock back and bust it out once a month for a week then put it away. I have not seen any mites or any living bugs in my room since I started doing this.

I use hot shots and have found as well, mites can become resistant to them.
I sprayed with Mighty Wash at the first sign of leaf damage from
hot shot resistant mites. Damage was local to one small lower area of one plant.
So far no new mites, nor have they spread to any other plants, or any new parts of the damaged plant.
I sprayed once around 4 weeks ago. The affected plant will be cut tomorrow.
A skeptic at first, since I found Mighty Wash in the smaller, cheaper jug I decided to try it.
It seems to do what it says and is the easiest, cleanest spray i've used.

I have to agree with myself and the people who say one good spraying with Mighty Wash is enough.
As long as you're able to spray every part of the plant, any stage of mite that stuff touches is dead.
It's been six or seven weeks since I sprayed it, once.

easy first you get a J O B,then you can afford your meds during shutdown. or learn how to grow so you have a large enough stock for this rainy day.finally you rip out the flowering plant's(unless you like smokin shit)and neem properly.problem solved. but if mighty wash is working awesome. i heard bad things about it's result's but i have never personally messed with it so dunno.i wish you would have did some before and after pics since it's a newer product out east here.a more thorough report would have been appreciated.

Wow, all of that and nothing about treating flowering plants.
Tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
Mighty Wash works great in flower.

So if you are ever asked again about mite solutions for flowering plants you have an answer.

I have only needed to spray for mites in flower one time and all it took was two applications of Spinosad.

i would not nor do i know any one that would 8^) considering they do not label all ingredients.veg maybe.

There are only two ingredients.
0.1665% inert ingredient ( a wetting agent) 99.8335% water ..

inert ingredients does not = safety, for example formaldehyde is an inert ingredient in pesticides.toluene also an inert ingredient.

Research can be your friend..


Mighty Wash is actually just a polarized H2O product with a very small amount of wetting agent and in fact does better the longer that it is left on the plant.


Power Wash does not need to be used with Mighty Wash due to the fact that Mighty Wash is actually just a polarized H2O product with a very small amount of wetting agent and in fact does better the longer that it is left on the plant. Power Wash is best used with sprays and insecticides that leave residual chemicals on the plant that can be harmful to the body if digested. Might Wash is not one of these and can be safely harvested and digested without rinsing.

Personally I would never use Mighty Wash since I already have 100% organic solutions to any little problem I might have. Plus keeping a clean grow room cuts down on most issues by it's self.

After doing some more research I'm looking into a CO2 blast filling the tent up to about 10,000 ppm for a couple of hours.
Since the lights should be on there is a need to use an alternate lighting so the hps doesn't burn the shit out of everything..
This will suffocate the bugs, along with anyone stuck in the room..lol

Anyone ever hear of this ?

You do know 5000 ppm co2 is fatal to you and your plants right?

Dude, this shit is nothing but water, what scares you about it? Clean room or not, in Colorado you'll have issues. You people write this shit off without even having a clue, fine, use your "organic solution" , inferior to mighty wash, everything is AND mighty wash IS the safest alternative.

And lets see your room yo.

this is a bold statement " I already have 100% organic solutions to any little problem I might have." Odd you don't even mention wtf the solution is.

It is not inferior in any way shape or form. I never said it was not safe and I never told anyone not to use the stuff. Just saying that I have found an excellent product that I already use in case someone who is reading this, who actually needs help with mites, will see it. So no I am not writing anything off, I simply don't need it.

you really have no idea having not used mighty wash , and you still haven't mentioned this miracle "orgranic" solution . People reading this that DO want to get rid of mites need only know two words, Mighty wash.

oh and one other word, Atomist. Its really not what you spray its how you spray it, I've found mighty wash and an atomist to work very very well.

AHAHAHA! If you read the whole thread then you would have seen what I said genius!

Nice try...

You clearly have a hair up your ass about something but I don't have any interest in arguing with an internet douche bag who can't even finish reading a whole thread.

I just did and spinosad is chemical.
