Just got some Mighty Wash ordered. Not the cheapest stuff but if it works like everyone has been saying I'll be stoked. Been battling mites for a while now. Been able to keep them at bay so they're not really damaging or anything but I'd like to try to get rid of them. I also got a No pest strip ordered and people claim those are bad ass at keeping them out as well. Will let you know what I think once I use it.

I used Safer's insecticidal soap during veg every 4-5 days for 2 weeks and it knocked the mites back to the point where I didn't notice them until week 6 of flower. The spray is difficult to cover the plants with now that they're huge 5ft+ and doesn't seem to be effective any longer. So I am going with a couple of overnight no-pest strip applications with the exhaust fan off to see the effects. Gnatrol soak is happening this feeding too and there are thrips in the room too so fuck it, I am getting serious. Most of the plants appear to have at least 2.5 weeks to go so I'm not too worried about it. But if that doesn't work I am getting in on this mighty wash stuff.

Btw silver?? lol fuck i hope not.

Do you still want to spend sixty bucks a gallon for Mighty Wash?

The alkaline is a mild sodium hydroxide solution, essentially a mild soap, and is essentially what Mighty Wash is. The ingredient is salt, NaCl. The process produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen (H2), and Chlorine Cl2), chemically 2 NaCl + 2 H[SUB]2[/SUB]O → 2 NaOH + H[SUB]2[/SUB] + Cl[SUB]2.[/SUB] The alkaline hydroxide solution works much like Safer Soap, destroying mites' exoskeletons. At pennies per gallon, you can use it often. It rinses clear with clean, cold water. If you want to get silly you can use the acidic solution or add a little lemon juice or vinegar lto the rinse water to neutralize the ph.

I have a small mite problem in days 50ish of 60 in flower. It looks like im supposed to apply MW while the lights are off. Im a bit concerned about mold forming if I apply this late and in the dark. How many hours before the lights come on should I apply? Any suggestions on applying this late in flower? Any help is appreciated!

Used plant cleanse and vital rinse from skunk labs horticulture, cleared up all the mites i had. they have 32oz samples for free right now. tried so many products but this is for sure the most effective.. Mighty Wash would be my 2nd choice but it's too harsh for my taste the leaves take a beating.
