I picked up some spider mites 6 weeks into flower and I was freaking! I have used Dr. Doom spray once....and I was too close to the plant and it didn't do well.
(Read the directions please, spray from 3.5-4 feet away) Didn't want to use the typical chemical treatments so close to harvest, so I was in a bind.
Started doing a LOT of reading and came across "Mighty wash" on this site and several others as well.
Organic, completely safe and ready to apply from a sprayer. You can even apply to food crops the day you harvest! So I ran down to my local Grow shop and lucky for me they had some.
Applied it this morning to all my plants and by midnight I can't find a live one anywhere. The eggs look "deflated" now too...kinda torn up as well.
I am VERY impressed. I can reapply in 3-5 day's, but the bottle said it may not be necessary. :thumbsup:
15.99 for a quart jug...Did 7 plants thoroughly and still have 1/2 a quart left. If the results hold, I no longer fear the dreaded Spider mite.
Once I harvest the two I have in flower I will pull my plants out and "Hotshot" the cabinet. Then follow with a thorough sanitizing to get any straggler's and NEEM
to deter future attacks.
Fuck you Spider Mites, :S4: I will kill every last one of you bastards even if I have to get a weedburner. :D
Anyway, just my .02 for whatever that's worth.
