Mighty bomb!! The spider mite end all be all!!!

Hydrofarm is selling this stuff called mighty bomb made in RI. I had mites very bad in my medical grow. Tried all of the stuff on the market. This summer when the heat went up the mites hit hard. I tried liquid ladybug and found it was not strong enough, tried mighty wash , coated everything in my room in a nasty slime foliage seemed to suffocate. The mighty bomb however evaporated nicely and was like a mite holocost. I sprayed 3 times with this stuff and no more problem. After the grow was complete I cleaned the entire room with bleach solution walls every god damn thing and have not had a problem since. The mighty bomb is totally organic. Look up Hydrofarm mighty bomb and read about it.

I have some killer strains and I'm totally mite free. Ibl northern dream, sour diesel, purple paralysis, quirkel, white widow, jack 47, plush berry, great white, and the sickest blueberry strain. 50% Coco/ mana mix grow. 7 gal pots . Yield is amazing .

Cyco A 8mls
Cyco B 8 mls
Rock resonator 8 mls - 12 mls per gal
Flushed for 10 days starting in week 8 to finish around 9 1/2 weeks.

mighty wash by NPK industries, 99.8335 % water, the rest inert ingredients. the shit works. sounds like hydrofarm maybe making a copycat.

very expensive compared to mighty wash, a 5 gallon jug of mighty wash cost about 120 bux. oh I see you mention mighty wash already in the OP

I stand by mighty wash. hydrofarm manuals are written by someone that can't speak english well.

diluted 50/50, this looks interesting, I may give it a whirl but I have very good results with mighty wash, even better when I follow up with pyganic and azamax in rotation.

The Mighty Bomb looks very similar compared to Liquid Ladybug, but has the addition of a few more "oils" i.e. peppermint, Lemongrass, Geranium, Rosemary and Polysorbate 80 which is a

onionic surfactant and emulsifier. It works the same way too and also evaporates off the plant over a short period of time. Liquid Ladybug is more expensive unless you buy the gallon concentrate which makes 5

gallon of solution. I think all these, including the Mighty Wash, work to a limiting degree. I've found what worked best for me was a nasty rotation of Floramite and Avid, a couple of weeks apart. My mites only come

out in flowering, so now I hit the plants with one of them a week before flowering and the second at the start of the 2nd week in flowering before buds start to form. This has worked the best for me......

application has a lot to do with it, I use an airless paint sprayer and just nuked my entire room plants and all last cycle due to a springtail issue(thought it was root aphids but these suckers jumped, think it may have been both actually, from bad soil) . Kinda hard to jump when you're being sprayed with pyganic thru an airless paint sprayer. I've seen nothing in that room since and that was a cycle ago. I like the airless paint sprayer. whatever you spray use a decent sprayer. although with the toxic systemics that isn't as important I'm sure.
 
No I think Hydrofarm just distributes it, it's made in the NE by a few guys I met at a show in Michigan , they seemed like they knew their shit. Professional growers with medical licences. The stuff sells for 60$ for a 2 gal concentrate that comes out to less than mighty wash and liquid ladybug. I guess it's all just preference. If I got bugs again mighty bomb all day. Has more active ingredients than anything else on the market. Works awesome

It's now $65 for a gallon which is deluded into 2 gallons, as posted on the Hydrofarm website. Might be worth keeping a jug around..... Amazon is selling it for $85 a gallon.
 
I agree, I think you can get it from Hydrofarm for $65 per 2 gal concentrate. They Also have 32 Oz spray bottles for $25 ready to use. Mites are easy to get rid of. Spray with the MB and do a root drench with powered neem. Water soluble. 1 teaspoon per gal of water.,the mighty bomb kills the living mites . The neem is systemic so it gets absorbed into the plant via the roots. The eggs hatch and the little mites suck on the plant ingesting the neem. The neem does not kill them but makes them infertile . They can no longer breed. Castrated mites ! Breaks the life cycle and you have no more problem My friend! It's brilliant. Spray with mb and root drench with neem powder. Done deal.

Just wondering, if your grow room is indoors and you start from seed and you never take your plant outside, can you still get spider mites?

Prior to starting my first grow a few weeks back, I had never even heard of spider mites and I spend a reasonable amount of time in our garden growing veggies. My outdoor battle has always been against aphids, white moth and caterpillars.

by far, the best thing i used to eliminate all mites and pests is spinosad. its certified organic, and derived from the Bt bacteria. bugs eat it, bugs die, the more they eat the more poisonous the effects are. Spinosad is not toxic to people, but i'd always give my plants a good wash after killing off all the bugs.
