I keep thinking this can't work, at least not on all mites. Don't mites eat hot pepper plants capsaicin and all? I want to believe this works but after finding out that most techniques, including safe "hippi friendly" pesticides, don't work I'm a big sceptic. Do you have pics? Mites are an ongoing nuisance where I live. Growers around here know, and it's a near certainty, they will get mites. Not only do we get mites, we get reinfested as soon as whatever is killing them is no longer active.
Azamax works so-so on Two Spot spider mites. It's expensive, tastes funky, and doesn't work on broad/russet mites. The only thing I've used that's 100% effective is Triazicide but it's really poisonous and can't be safely sprayed too far into flower. Flower cycle is when the mites hit hardest. Does it work on broad and russet mites?
Hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread for a minute
@getgoodgenes . I figured adding my questions would be okay since most of yours were successfully answered and I'm only taking a second look at this habañero suggestion of Diesel's because of your glowing report. Do you have any macro/magnified clear pics of the dead mites?
I am all about healthier safe ways to control pests but not at the cost of my plants. I can't afford to waste time on something that doesn't work or harms my girls. I know that sythesised chemical
pyrethrins are safe enough if used properly but I need something safe and effective late into the nugg cycle. Nuke Em don't work worth a sh*t. All it does is stress my plants and empty my wallet. It's garbage.
