Thanks girlwondergrows. That is by far the most accurate information that anyone has presented.
So, update: It's got pyrethrin or pyrethrum in it. Was in Medford and asked for a sample from the store that's suppose to be associated with the manufacturer (In and Out). The guy told me it has "less than a percentage, like a 1/10th" of pyrethrum. Didn't quite catch if he said "pyrethrin" (the synthetic version) or "pyrethrum" (the natural one) but either way they are lying on the label and breaking the law by selling an unregistered and unlabeled pesticide product.
Fuck these cowboys, I'm reporting their asses to the regulators. Who knows what's in the shit, you've got people thinking it's water spraying it on nearly finished buds without any protective gear. It's not fucking magic, they are selling unlabeled chemicals and lying to our faces about it. I was OK with ripping people off and selling water for $50 a gallon, caveat emptor right? But this is beyond the pale.
*War drum beating*

He could be wrong...
wouldn't be the first time the guy at the hydro store didn't know WTF he was talking about.
Just another possibility..

I think I smell something.
Do I smell
or, for those that still have dial-up

I heard a rumor that the manufacturer submitted Mighty Wash to a testing agency to verify it's "frequency imprint" - the testing agency put the sample through a very very delicate and highly precise water testing instrument. The Mighty Wash completely fouled the equipment because of it's undeclared oil content. The testing agency was none to pleased, or at least that's how the little birds told it.
But a simple examination of the product will reveal it's not just water, it has high pH and runs around 700 ppm. There is also a visible oil sheen to the liquid.

Is there a simple way to extract the oil? Distillation, or maybe just simmering off the water for a while? Perhaps more could be learned if we could examine a more concentrated form of the oil.
Or would the heat affect the oil and prevent accurate assessment?
Where are those unemployed academics when you need them.
Maybe Mississippi Hip has more input.
What do you say, Hip? Feel like offering a huge chunk of your free time to try to provide answers for free to strangers?
That way you would not look like somebody connected to Mighty Wash.
Now I don't KNOW, but I Think there's just dishsoap in there. 2 (small) drops of dishsoap to 1 gal of water is by far the BEST mite eradicator I've ever come across. Just a thought.
I dont know whats in it.
With sns21? and MW I got rid of a mild infestation on one plant I got from a homie.
It took 2 apps of each and they were gone. Thats been a month...they are gone for sure.
Is there a pyrethrin that will kill an infestation of mites in that miniscule amount?
less than 1/10 of a percent is strong. real strong.
AVID .15 EC dilution rate
A spray was made by diluting 1ml containing 2% of total active ingredient into 1 gallon of water at the rate of 1 part in 3785(1ml to 1gal) parts of spray.
2 / 3785 = ..0005% active ingredient in spray.
FLORAMITE® SC dilution rate
A spray was made by diluting 1ml containing 22.% of total active ingredient into 1 gallon of water at the rate of 1 part in 3785 parts of spray
22/3785= .006% active ingredient in spray
I know neither product is a pyrithrin but both are labeled to treat for mites at these rates.

Pretty bold assumption considering it's mites we're talking about. Let us know again if youre still clean in another month or so? Btw, I've also used that sns rosemary product and watched it have no effect on crawlers after heavy direct spaying. And there are lots of products available to kill a few mites, but complete eradication on live plants is next to impossible without something for the eggs too (very few options so far).
Interesting thought, tried that more than once? Mechanism of action? Or just unknowable secret weed-growing magic?
