That's sounds a lot like a recipe I got from an old school dude. Using everclear, olive oil, and soap.
4 oz everclear
2 oz olive oil and soap
8 oz water and shake in a pint jar.
1 tablespoon per gallon and kills everything. Have to do some research on yours.
Yeah man, same idea. Make oil and water mix, add a harsh solvent, dehydrate and destroy bugs. The citric acid, salt and epsom i believe are to aid in drying out the bugs and eggs. My first trial i used the green cleaner dillution rate, high end (2oz/gal) and did not kill on contact. From there i went total opposite and tried it straight (much damage. Dont) 2:1 water/death bringer seems like it is harsh but could be used in a terrible infestation though the plant would need some recovery and i wouldnt advise in flower. Next round will be 3:1, then 4:1. I plan to keep dilluting out until it no longer kills on contact. I know most people would cringe at this but im not worried, i actually want some mites hanging around a bit!
This is the girl who is under attack, clusterfunk day 29. Shes very healthy but was under a little light stress. Kicked a few dicks which i manually removed, raised the lights the last 4" i could and dimmed the light about 25%. Seems to have resolved the stress but i think thats when the mites made their move. She was also flowered before i started using my rosemary/peppermint/neem spray. Im hoping to get the ratio dialed in by the weekend so i can wipe these little buggers out. Im confident in my abilities and this plants health to not have this be a devistating issue.
Then theres these sexy bitches! Back, more cowbell cut #2, front, appalachian ss, left cut #4, right #2. Day 15 from flip.
More cowbell #1, front, #5, back. Day 4. These were cuts taken from plants 2 weeks into flower and took a very long time to recover. I took a couple clones off of each, did a little lst and started bloom khaos foliar earlier than i would, they filled right out!
