any neem&pyrethrum based products are good and safe to use up to a week before harvest and even after that. might get a bit of a bad taste though, but better than mites. spray every few days till problem goes away.

If you don't want to wet down your plant(s) with pesticides, you could go with Hot Shots No Pest Strips. 6 bucks at home depot.
These aren't the sticky flypaper things..... read and understand the directions before using......

Huh?? Have you read the MSDS of a NPS? Its main CHEMICAL is Dichlorvis (sp?) read the back of the bag its in. NPS are ok to use in veg and a couple weeks into flower, unless you wanna be smoking the chemical it contains. Mighty Wash is JUST WATER, they say it has a certain frequency to kill the mites. It works ok, doesnt kill the eggs. SNS217 is different oils, works good. Both are Organic, NPS is not. If you dont wanna spray your plant, use a vacuum or raise the co2 to 10000ppms for an hour or two

listen bro, read my post again especially the part that says - read and understand the directions before using.

SNS217 works, yes. but you still have to wet down your plant with it.
Also, it's not 'different oils' as you say. It's 2% Rosemary oil and 98% water, polyglyceryl oleate and lauric acid. You would know that if you had some.
Please do not make claims about a product unless you actually have used the product.

Oh yeah, I forgot, everybody has a c02 setup. Yes, that's sarcasm. Be real, will ya?

Mighty Wash is JUST WATER, they say it has a certain frequency to kill the mites.
heh heh, yeah... SUCKER!

Edit: begging for reps in your sig is sad..........

Everything I read says it's not good to wet down plants once the buds start forming.. I personally have used the NPS's right up until harvest. They work, period...
They put a vapor into the air around the plants that kills EVERYTHING but the plants themselves.

Simply use common sense.

Do not use them in your living space.
Do not smoke undried/uncured bud from the plant.

it's not good to wet your buds, but it's not so bad either when done correctly. sounds better than chemicals, anyway.

Ive used sns217, and Rasta Bobs Death Mite which has 3% rosemary oil. I have also used Mighty Wash. I >had< mites that were immune to the NPS. Dichlorvis gets on your buds, and is known to be a carcinogen. Again, check out the MSDS of the chemical. How will proper drying and curing rid the buds of it?

I dont want rep like my sig says, ive seen too many people with alot of rep give out bad advice and people listen because of it.

Hmmmmm, chemical on my buds, or spray the plant? Ill take the lesser of the two evils.

Got anything to back that up? No?
I've done extensive research on it and it's not.

Seriously, get your facts straight before you post inaccurate information.


edit: before this gets out of hand, under normal exposure in lab tests no ill side effects were noted.
Some lab animals that were FED diclorvous in excessive amounts over a long period if time did show signs of cancer but it was not proven that diclorvous caused it.

I'm not going to respond to any more questions on this subject.
Either use it, or not. It's a personal choice.

why take a chance with chemical VAPOR (which is pretty much like spray except it isn't seen) that's said to be cancerous (even if we don't know its true), when you have a perfectly good organic substance that's known to be safe.
