the strongest chemicals on the market do not work consistently on marijuana mite infestations, for you to claim that a product made up entirely of water does is straight ridiculous, and you should do some reaserch into what u are applying to your plants before u shell out money for water.

ask the makers of mightywash, they will tell u it is DEIONIZED WATER, there is no pesticide, and that shit is safe to spray on your newborn baby, if u want to believe it kills mites, have fun.

predatory mites can help but they only control the population they don't eradicate it use them to complete this grow. Next batch : use FLORAMITE combined with AVID spray at least twice during veg cycle it will take care of your infestation. These two product take a month to disipate so don't use during flowering.

floramite and avid are 2 of the best products on the market the combat mites. But neither can be used in flower, and both are expensive as fuck. Why wouldanyone use these products if they could "explode" mites on contact with de-ionized water. The brick wall wont want to answer that.

Nice little tutorial, definitely gets rid of spider mites.
Tried it myself, plant was infested with mites yesterday. I sprayed this stuff last night and they died on contact. Plant looks healthier than it ever has. Just FYI this was in the veg state.

Neem oil all the way for me, even at that stage I'd risk putting some oil on the plants... though I do normally spray weekly up until 2wk into flower as a safety measure.. if I stop they return, if I keep it up until 2wk flower I don't get them at all! About 2tsp with some dish soap to help break it down.. good luck! spidermites are fu&*ers!

Diatomaceous Earth. Will kill anything with an exoskeleton. If you get the food grade then it is safe to eat and be around pets too. It is a fine dust that you would apply to where bugs travel. It is freshwater shells ground up... it punctures exoskeleton and dehydrates the bug... be careful cause it will kill good bugs like bees though. Need to use dry though and reapply after it gets wet.

I have never used this product, but looking into it briefly it has SCIENCE behind it that makes sense. No crazy vague language about being supercharged water or some bullshit like that. I would def give it a try if i had a mite problem in flower.
