it's usually a 2 to 1 ratio, water to alcohol, but I've seen 1 to 1 used before too. People even hand wipe the leaves with alcohol in bad cases, but I would do a few test leaves if you go that route. Some strains have leaves that are super sensitive to alcohol or citric acid. Botaniguard is supposed to be a very effective biological control. Citric acid is my favorite though, and regular neem during veg should prevent any in flower, just for future reference.

Yes 2-1 works best. If you use 91% or if that's only available, do 3-1. I've heard about peroxide but I've never tried. I'm only speaking on my experience with mites. I haven't seen any of those fuckers after trying every other method lol IPA for the win!!!
I should also mention, spray every few days just to be on safe side with lights OFF. Wicked cheap and effective. $4 a 32 Oz bottle that lasts me about a month.

@VolimPicke for cuts, I dunk them directly into a big bowl full of the mix alcohol solution. count to 30, shake off the excess, then rinse with tap water and let them air dry as they sit in a new cup of water/Azos.
When using a good amount of IPA be sure to have good air circulation with windows open. The fumes will build up, leading to possible
if a open flame is introduced. Hope this helps

Sns knocked out my mite problem right away and never had the issue again. I keep some around and spray veg room maybe once a season. This is the kinda thing where prevention is much easier than action.
I use the shit cuz it worked

Many people speak of it as a miracle cure for many problems such as PM.

I use Build A Soil’s essential oil and emulsify it with Dr Bronners Soap. It Potent! Look at the list of goodies! Way cheaper than sns. I have a mix ratio for preventing and a mix ratio for outbreak (war). it makes a great foliar.

I also had my “ Def Con 4 “ mix of 2:1 or even 1:1 - ISO alcohol and water. I liked this one because it was hella quick knockdown and alcohol evaporated quickly from green matter. Fine misted. Plant tolerated it well. Bud wash wouldn’t kill ya after choppy time too.

Anyone try a capsaicin based spray ?
I tried years back , boiled some peppers I grew , strained / squeezed in water , added couple drops of veggie oil.
‘It assaulted my nose pretty god damn bad but for any flying pest it repelled the shit out of those . Not sure if mites would be affected.
Mace for my plants I guess. Had to watch “ concentration “ used on leaf as it kinda burned sometimes .
