Well we made the mistake of getting a clone from someone who stated it was clean. Well it wasn't or we brought mites in some other way.
Anyhow here are our results:
No pest strips did nothing at all - very disappointed. I even put two in a small room and still none died. Everyone makes it sound like these are the cure, but the ones we had were totally immune.
Spraying and dunking them in cold water slows them down. It washes many off and kills some.
Spraying and dunking in a solution of murphy's oil soap and baking soda kills a larger percentage. I believe if I was diligent this or one of the other organic solution might work (pepper spray or flour), but we wanted them dead, they do so much damage.
Spraying once with Mighty Wash killed 95+%
Spraying a second time, seems to be 100%. I have not seen a moving mite in 7 days. I was very skeptical about mighty wash, but it seems to be the real deal. You can use it in veg or flower. The only issue is that the mighty wash has to make contact with the mites/eggs. This one is the one I will keep on hand in the future... Also we had some leaves dry out after spraying with mighty wash. I would rinse and make sure the lights are off. It could of been due to the stress of the mites.
My buddy sprayed with Forbid 4f and had 100% death rate. Forbid 4f stays on the plant for awhile so only use it in veg. This is an advantage in that it kills them even if you didn't make contact with them. Also if you spray the top of the leaf it will go to the other side.
My advise would be to spray once with mighty wash and then a couple days later with forbid 4f to get rid of them for sure. I will probably use mighty wash once early in veg and when changing rooms.
