Ok I have been battling spider mites inside for some time and seems like all im doing is chasing tail getting nowhere. Been using Mighty Wash, not thrilled with it really. Picked up a bottle of Nuke em pesticide as its supposed to be better asit kills adult,eggs and juvenilles ect.
Noticed warning label on Nuke em say not to use over other pesticides.Well tech Mighty Wash isnt a pesticide so wondering if its safe to use. Any hands on experience would help....

Also has been 8 days since last sprayed MW if that helps .
Thanks in advance.
 
Mighty wash is simply ionized water, and is mainly meant to be used during flowering as it can be sprayed directly on to your flowers its no negative affect. So yes, I'm sure it would be fine to use your NUKE EM along with it.

Azamax from GH works really real well, mix it up with some neem and captain jacks, then spray every 3 days for e next two weeks. For mites simply neem and azamax should work.

TIP: try mixing the azamax into HOT water, I found it soaks into the waxy layers of e leaf much easier and can be absorbed with out a wetting agent.

Do you think they want you using the rivals products? Heavy infestations and stubborn bugs are best treated with different products, Alternating product from spray day to spray day will reduce and/or eliminate in some cases in the first couple of weeks. Every bug has a life cycle and each is slightly different but if you want to get rid of them it will require every second day spray and clean, clean, clean. Good Luck JAS
 
Make sure you spray when they're no in full light! Or wait, when water or liquid sits on your leaves. The light is magnified and intensified through the water molecules and will burn the ladies bad! Be careful!

ove found it usually takes a combination of pesticides for a real effective spray. Other wise you're just bending over backwards trying to check your ass in the mirror!!

I wouldn't mix them together but at different times...its the most effective way I have found so far. If you can spray an hour before lights out or an our before lights on. Leaving that moisture sit isn't good and can start other issues so be careful. JAS

Why do you say it's the most effective way? Did you do a side by side comparison? Why wouldn't these chemicals be soluble with each other?
Do you think MAYBE they say don't mix because you'd have to cut each application dilution rate as to not burn the leafs? Because that's it, e same way you're supposed to calculate and cut nutes when adding boosters applies to this as well. Too many chemicals will burn, and people are too stupid to understand that when you mix two ingredients your chemical ratio % will go up like mixing nutes.

What you might be referring to is a systemic program which I includes root/soil drench as well as foliar applications. I don't know about you guys.. But I'd rather mix and spray twice a week, than 3 different chemicals 6 days a week YOU FEEL ME!!

If you wanna get rid of them and not have a daily chore of spraying............ Abamectin. Once and done.

Only use in veg tho.

Stuff will kill them DEAD. The first time.

Funny you mention Abamectin, I think I sprayed something called Timectin outside for Russet mites. Pretty narly shit. Full Tyvek jumpsuit and full face masl respirator...Did't kill the damn Russet Mites with one app.
But did kill every other little insect...

I remember life before I found the cure for mites .

Mighty wash is a waste of money with out a fogger. Fog master Jr is the tool. Mighty wash last five times if not more in a fogger. Plus foggers blow leaves up so its easier to hit undersides where mites live. If using neem I like azasol it is a powder that easily mixes in and doesn't leave a oily residue.
