ok folks these fuckers are pissing me off!!! i have access to forbid, and if i use it again...it'll be the third spray. my mites arent terrible, but these suckers breed like crazy!!! heres my problem. i have a small perpetual...13 girls just starting to flower, and 2 others that will be ready in 2 weeks tops. i cant spray my 2 weekers with forbid...but i can the others...i heard forbid was the best stuff out there, and the cost is outrageous! and mighty wash i heard is the newest and best thing as well...which one??!!!! i could really use some super good help here! im tired of these f'ing bugs raping my girls!!

if you have used forbid on them twice already and theyre still there, then theyre immune to it. Use anything that is natural against them cause you just bred super bugs.

a buddy of mine has a hydro op, and has been battling spider mites on and off, with forbid for about 3-4 months...im the guy he calls when he needs help cutting, or setting shit up...it never occured to me that they could hitch a ride on my clothes...considering they are foliage destroyers.

so...i went to my store, and the guy didnt have forbid or mighty wash...so i got sns 217, and it was a small lil free promo bottle...so i hit 'em with that...not my 2 week ones though, so i am hoping that it did the trick...there was only a few here and there anyway...but i know it is alot easier to keep in check if taken care of early enough...fingers crossed!!

OP already narrowed it down to two products and asked opinion , all those with their own ideas should look at the question. Mighty wash for real.

I use Forbid and Floromite mixed. it kills all species of mites AND their eggs. I don't have a mite problem in the grow room. But I spray the stuff at work and I also get it for free. Yeah Forbid is like $200/qt I think.

Yeah I understand this, but my answer is neither. Honestly Dbkick is there a need to be a dick about someone suggesting a idea trying to help someone with mites? I read everyone's opinion's on my first and only bout' with mites and tried all the sprays/oils/natural predators recommended and nothing really worked until I used the No Pest Strip. And I wish someone would of just said hey go spend $10 on a No Pest Strip and be done with it. So all I was suggesting is that for a lot less $$ you can be done with mites forever. Sorry for suggesting something that works. I didn't think someone would jump down my shit for trying to helping a fellow gardener out. You need to lighten the fuck up.

Mighty Wash wins simply because it kills all mites / eggs and a vast variety of other insects on "Contact" they cannot survive in the water, It has nothing todo with poisoning them, They cannot gain any resistance to Mighty Wash.

I hate those fuckers, tried almost everything safers spray then Neem, azmax, dr doom and straight pryethrum foggers I have some advid i got a small quantity off ebay but my local shop had small quantities of floramite. Man, I used it once in my grow room and I haven't seen a mite in 3 months. My greenhouse went a couple months without mites. Granted with the air flow needed they are back but no where near the numbers and I can control it now.

I think that should be your next move.
