So Mighty Wash is an effective deterrent for mites Out West? I will go and get some myself as well as the Azarol Dirty White Boy suggested.

I spray with the lights out (or pull the plant out of the tent) and soak every square inch of surface area on the plant to the point of dripping, then I spray some more. This is all while screaming "DIE YOU MOTHER FUCKING BITCHES!!!!!!!" Drenching is the key to eradication. And screaming of course.

Ray2015-If you got russet mites it won' work...about the only thing that will wipe them out of the room is to use F4(Forbid) the plants in your veg if you want to save them and kill your bloom room...if its ordinary common mites and the Worry Free is not working then try "Organozide" from Home Depot, very cheap...it comes in concentrate or ready to use and is just fish oil with sesame and rosemary oil and kills the eggs, the larvae, and the adults in one application/drenching and is ORMI approved...but your bloom and veg room will smell like a New Orleans fish cannery for about 24 to 48 hours after ...which is better than having the mites and the plants lovvvve the fish oil....if its russet mites, the only thing I found that wipes them out is F4, especially if you live rurally as I do and have a 1500 acre fallow field next door...I got to F4 my veg room every 90 days to keep russets and root aphids away...that's another problem too, root aphids that can appear to be mite infestation...check your soil or coco for them as they and russets are like the Borg and have you just got to wipe them out of the room/tent/closet and grow medium with Spectracide for root aphids and F4 for russets...you bomb, you can neem, use Worry Free, Azamax, Rosenthals stuff, Mighty wash, etc...none will do nothing against root aphids or russets...got to hit them and the room with a systemic especially here in Colorado and the wet humid summer has made them just prolific as hell and the farmers I live around say its the worse for root aphids and russet mites in their fields in decades that I live around here in the AG area I reside in and they got crop dusters hitting their fields with Avid all over out here...I used this same product but it hasn't worked. Not sure what the problem is.
@ttystikk-I use F4(Forbid) for russets if I find them in veg...it disperses quicker, as a systemic, maybe hangs in for 5 weeks and then is gone. I now just spray the veg room and all plants big and small every 8 to 10 weeks with F4 as once they are in the flower room, by the 4th week, the systemics are clearing out of the plants system and I have to indulge in spraying ORMI's every three to 4 days to keep out any ordinary mite infestations but at least no russets or root aphids the last two years from doing so...knock on wood..... by the 4th week of bloom I'm spraying Mega Wash on Thursdays and Organozide on Sundays in rote every week through out the rest the plants bloom cycle in the flower room to prevent common mites looking to re-invade...that's what I do that works for me out here living rural around all these AG fields either in fallow or being worked.......I got russet mites, and my experience was a lot like bluzboy's in that they would die back with pyrethrins, but were not controlled and certainly not eradicated.
Finally, I read all my pesticide labels in their entirety, and got an idea; Avid's label says that its effective persistence is extended with the use of a horticultural oil. Azamax is a pesticide with a horticultural oil base... So, I put the two together and discovered that this combination is very powerful!
Recipe;
3 ml Avid
60 ml Azamax, or Azatrol (not Azasol!)
1 gallon of water at 100F (warm tapwater)
Spray it all, it doesn't keep. Make another batch and spray again 8-14 days after the first application. This gets any you missed the first time, and this interval targets the next generation directly.
This recipe is proportional; you can cut all the ingredients by 4 and end up with a quart that works just as well.
I do not recommend adding anything else. The Avid needs the horticultural oil to remain an oil, not be emulsified to effectively extend its persistence.
Bluzboy called Avid a systemic. It is not- it's applied via foliar spray, not through the roots.
I second his assessment about letting 45 days pass before harvesting.

thanks. hopping to hear from you asap.
I us Forbid in the veg room only and shoot everything in there every 45 to 60 days and have been doing so for a long time and no super mites...I think that is more related to using azamax and the mites build up a tolerance to Azamaz and the pyrethium in it...never heard of mites or aphids adapting or overcoming Avid or F4, not that it couldn't happen, just never heard of it being an issue or mites adapting to and persisting with using Forbid or Avid...the farmers out here use Avid and or a generic similar systemic on their fields out here yearly and the crop dusters are using Avid on the large vegetable farms out here by aerial spraying.....my neighbor who farms about 4500 acres says that what he uses and has used for years without mites or aphids adapting to it...but again, there may be cases where I am unaware and uninformed of it happening Ray2015....best regards in all your growing endeavors bro!
