Hey buddy, just wanted to let you know that root aphid eggs hatch inside the parent bug and they are laid. So they are born by a parent in multiples. Kinda like puppies. Keep us posted on how the Met is working for you. Here's a little root aphid video:

I tried calling NPK industries to ask them about doing and soil drench with mighty wash but the voice mail msg asks you to leave the DATE that you are calling lol. So I emailed them.

The way it was explained to me is, mighty wash holds a frequency and causes mites to not be able to move. Therefore they cant eat or breed. After trying almost every product the hydro shop had for mites I ended up ordering floramite, avid, and forbid and using them one after another with 6 days in between each. Worked like a champ. I got mites again recently and decided to try mighty wash out because the mites were in my flower room of all places and I wasn't about to go spraying harsh chemicals on flowering plants.

A long story short...the mighty wash worked but, it left a coating on the leaves. That's why i'm thinking it wont work as a drench.

I keep moms in promix and they dont have aphids yet that I have seen.

I recently started switching from DWC to coco and I have hundreds of dollars in seedlings in coco. All of the plants in coco are healty but, I see the aphids on the plants once in a while. 1 DWC plant just wilted and died suddenly (White S1) and another huge DWC is wilting but not dead yeat. I have treated everything with Bayer fruit, vegtable, and something or other that was recommended at another site. I just want to be SURE I kill ALL of these bastards. Some experienced help would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is an old post but how much mighty wash did you use for a drench

Mighty Wash actually splits spider mites in half. If you go back and look after a treatment, it looks like they have been sliced in half with a samurai sword. It pretty amazing. A friend told me it has something to do with an ionized sugar or some craziness. I honestly don't know how it works, but it works damn good. I'm not convinced it kills eggs but it kills every live might it hits. Now after endless battles with root aphids, I have wondered about a drench with mighty wash. TRY IT!!! If it works you'll be a hero and a pioneer in the war on root aphids! But you might consider a flush after. If you mix MET 52 into your medium from the start of your grow cycle, you will not have a problem with root aphids. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Met 52 is the best solution to root aphids IMHO but it has to be used from the very start. Good luck.

How much mighty wash per gallon for soil drench Can't find anything on it
