I bought some today as I noticed some mites forming, and I am very impressed. just searched through 25 leaves as i am triming the under cannopy of the scrog and no mites, very few yellow eggs and no webs. Well worth the money.

i'm sold. too bad its so expensive, but its not as expensive as a lost grow. i think my mites have been neem'd for long enough to get somewhat tolerant of it. oh, how i hate them. i may get ladybugs first just to see the mites being preyed upon. i'll smoke a bowl and laugh demonically..................

It's expensive, but only takes a little. 8 oz. will treat quite a few decent sized plants (3-5ft) and kill every mite and egg. Especially if you use a 360 sprayer, a gallon of mighty wash should last a long time.

I think they do. They don't carry it around where I'm at, so I ordered a gallon on ebay, not knowing how well it was going to work. I've even treated a friend's garden with it and still have over a half gallon. In 10 years I've only had mites twice. One of the times was indoors, and it was minor. My friend had an infestation, though. It was creepy gross shit being around that. Seeing his garden after using mighty wash really made me realize how good that shit is. So I keep some around just in case.

i have perpetual mites. i garden, indoor and out, all year long. they wiped out one of my poppy grows. creepy bastards. i'm in a major city, so i bet i can find a quart-sized. my garlic-pepper-neem usually keeps them in check. maybe these are Indian, or Thai mites, and like it spicy.

I'm in a fairly large city too, but the idiots at the grow stores don't carry it. I've told them on the phone they should over and over. I can hit the highway and drive about 30 mins south and get some, but honestly I hate grow stores and rarely visit one. If I need something from a grow store, I have my wife go in and get what I need. Never know who was cuddling a mite infested plant and went into the store to buy something. I grow in an empty upstairs apartment and don't let ANYONE in. And I wear different clothes when I'm up there. I'm obsessive compulsive about cross contamination. I hated growing outside, been a long time since I did that.

my kind of tenants. they pay a nice rent too.
i have never been in a grow store; i'm organic. but i want this MW stuff. it sounds so effective. maybe i will do the gallon. insurance for my poppies too. thanx, Cap.
and if i could be so careful as you are, i would be. its not OCD, its smart gardening. we live in a tiny row-home with a huge garden in empty lot next to us. some of the stuff has to come into the house, and it ends up 10 ft. from my plants. its Wild Kingdom in my basement.

Still sounds like fun. If I could grow outside without having to go gorilla, I would. I live in a city where everyone has a tiny yard, and an outdoor or greenhouse grow would get ripped off super fast. I can't even leave a fucking rake on my porch without it getting stolen, for real. It happened.

sounds familiar. heroin is king in my neighborhood, and the junkies are the hardest workers. aluminum screen doors, copper out of houses. i'm going to start snatching them, and selling them to Chinese mining companies.
 
I will give this shit a try. Those little fuckers are persistent. Azamax, Neem, Sucra Shield, Pyrethrum bombs, nothing is keeping them away. Like the energizer bunny I tell ya. [h=1][/h]

I just stumbled upon this thread- never had mites- came from the mom 'cause they're all on one set of genetics and i got 'em early. Anyway I am going to the store to get the mighty wash stuff. I read the frequency stabilized mumbojumbo and it's horseshit (period). There is not enough EM field to do jack squat. Even fudging the terminology is far beyond any reasonable "puffery" so to speak. Regardless based on what I read on this forum I bet that it is a silver halide or another transition metal- but silver is my bet. Also it probably has a complexing agent to keep it in suspension. I suppose after i use it I can analyze the rest. If it's silver iodide i'm gonna be pissed lol.

You know what we need? Someone needs to get a group cash pool together to send everything under the sun to a bio and a chem analytical lab. Each sample wouldn't be much over $1k or so. How many people are pissing their money away and at what rate?

How many honest papered chemists / biochemists / microbiologists do we have here? Or add ICMag, THCTalk, THCfarmer, etc. to the ticket and all we need is a few bucks and a consortium (panel) of science weedheads to do primary analysis, select the tests, send them off, and interpret the results... for free... because i'm tired of the snake oil. you stoners make money -- why not invest a bud or 2 of your crop to save the cash on all of the snake oil. Hell just take a couple of easy formularies and undercut, making it only profitable enough to drive further research- totally non profit and all of the marketing can be stuffed on the front page of a few of these sites... that's what this shit is all about, right? free flow of information? bahh.. jumping off the soap box.

mighty wash is just statically charged water.......completely safe to use anywhere on your plants or yourself......and if you can make your own statically charged water, be my guest.

Sprayed it one time 6 wks into flower have not seen a mite in 7 days this shit works, Folks at grow store reports you can drink it out of the jug or use it as bong water. I don't know about that but the bugs are dead. The jug reports 99.9% H2O with freqency infused into the water, way over my head but like I said the bugs are dead. 35$ for a gallon jug. Check it out. Don't know about you other stoners out there but I've wasted a lot of money on a lot of shit that doesn't work. I do know of other stuff that kills mites but it kills people, dogs, cats, and anything that lives in or around water, no thanks....Give this shit a shot guy's the more people that are using this stuff the less likely I will have to smoke weed that has been spryed with some nasty stuff like avid. I met a guy that own a dispensery in WA. state that told me he sprays malathion on his plants to keep mites off crazy fucker I felt like pissing in his mouth what an asshole.
I know I don't post on here often but I do read alot. I usually stay out of the debates, but I have tryed many things I've learned on this forum some work some don't it is all part of the learning process. I'm not the guru grower, I'm not a sales rep, I'm just a potbilly that loves to grow and smoke weed.
My hope is that some day us stoner types can meet in a pot bar kinda like the drunks get to, so we can discuss this kinda of stuff face to face(while smoking a dobbie) rather than hiding on these fucking computers and playing second fiddle to all these drunks driving up and down are roads.

Peace death to spider mites
