Soooo.... I got my Mite-Rid, and used it almost 4 weeks ago. I'd have to say it kicks fucking spider mite ass! No new activity in the room at all. WITH ALL OTHER TREATMENTS ACTIVITY RETURNED WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

Unfortunately due to previous rough treatment of the plants, in effort to rid m self of said mites, I was infested with mold.

Treatments tried on

XXX OG, Afgooey, Cinderella 99, Afgani, in ebb and flow.

It should be noted that we are growing S.O.G. in a small closet (24" X 60"), so plants are in a close proximity to each other (obviously).

There was a control done off site (AFGOOEY) where the spider mites were left alone, with no effort made to control them.

The results of the control were not pretty. Spiders mites I think breed bad luck... Timer malfunctioned and lights went out for 2 days. Plants were unable to recover... and while the continues to try and finish... pretty much ceased developing at all, and died.

The mites were crazy in there... the plants (2 in a 24" x 24" space) were completly covered in webs... the webs and gone onto the walls... I swear they had a better rapid transit system than we got in my city... It gives me nightmares.....

Treatments tried;

Neem Oil ... Repeated applications following directions on the bottle (apply every 5 to 7 days).

Alcohol and water ... Repeated applications following neem oil directions.

Washed room with alcohol and water, and later with bleach.

Mites always returned with in the 2 weeks.

Got the mite rid... hosed the plants once. It has a slightly spicy smell ... kinda like fresh ginger.. (not the sweet stuff.. the asian stuff). My mother says it smells better than the neem oil.

Took the remaining solution and wiped the walls and equipment.

I also Installed a bleach barrier...

Put down a plastic runner (carpet protector.. hard plastic laid out to protect carpet in high traffic area's) just in side the room in front of the door. Then took and old towel no one cared about and soaked it in bleach and water, and placed it on the plastic in front of the door. House rules... wipe your feet! The bleach kills anything on your shoes, and close proximity to the vapors helps reduce infestation on your clothes (great if you've been in the back yard or have visitors). But as a diluted solution, it is not strong enough to affect the room/plants.

No mites yet!!!

Unfortunately I think the continued exposure to moisture was not cool for the girls heavy with bud. And I got mold... wiped nearly the whole harvest. And I'm now real worried about the rest of the room. Also continued spraying was a horrible way to treat my plants and I have noticed thats plants exposed to this spraying have been severely stunted.

I'm on a continuous harvest and can see a small dry spell in my near future.

In short this shit works. And tasting a quick dried sample from what I was able to save, has not affected flavor, smell, or smokeability. I have noticed no odd effects after smoking. Harvest occurred 2 weeks after spraying. Plants were fed one week of their normal diet, then flushed for one week with only balanced R/O water.

In short it works... and works well.

Why abuse your plants with continuous applications, when you can do it once, and your plants can go back to being happy and healthy.
