Anyone Use Forbid?

I picked up Forbid to use on these damn spider mites. I have used it before but it was already too late. So I still have some left over and shot this round of mites. I shot them two days in a row and some are still alive. I was unsure how long it takes to kill them? And from what I understand it powerful stuff. And last on or in the plant for 20 days. I'm 2 weeks into bloom with Super Sour Diesel. So I still have time for it not be an issue. Thanks. I HATE Spider Mites!

you may want to look at mighty wash by NPK industries, it's hands down the best solution.

I use forbid all the time... the shit is the bomb and will kill mites under the leaves even when it hits the tops... It take a few days to kill and don't do it one day after another... spray it... wait 5 days... spray again.... all gone... the best treatment is to mix it up... I use forbid.... 5 days later.. Avid.... then Floramite.... Nothing will be living when that cycle is over....

I use Forbid, good stuff, but follow the directions.

It has a 28 day residual and cleary states that you should NOT apply more, or any other miticide for that matter till after 28 days. Applying Forbid then Floraimite then Avid 5 days apart is not the best for your plants and will probably encourage resistant mites.

I also use Floramite to alternate with the Forbid, but usually just the one application of the Forbid is enough.

BTW, I used to be a Licensed Applicator and know a little bit about this stuff.

i just got some forbid 4f for my plants with mites. I bought a 1oz bottle off ebay. I need to know if I have to mix it with water and a couple drops of dish soap? Or do I just mix with water? Im thinking the dish soap will suds up a little and would be better for spraying.

hell maybe he got me message maybe not, sounds like forbid is some decent stuff and I think I've changed my mind about it. I don't know how to use it, poly uses not dish washing soap but something called an adjuvant I believe.
