SNS 217 MITE SPRAY

[pezzy]

I tried to do a search here and didn't find any threads on this product.

I've read up on it and have heard nothing but good stuff on it...here is a run down on what it is.....

SNS-217™ Spider Mite Control is made up of 100% pure Rosemary botanical extracts. The botanicals are all food grade GRAS (generally recognized as safe) materials.
SNS-217™ Spider Mite Control
is exempt from EPA registration under minimum risk pesticides exempted under FIFRA section 25(b).

How It Works
Spider mites destroy plant cells by sucking out their contents and SNS-217™'s unique formula works by providing a barrier which is harmless to the plant, but fatal to the mites.
The natural salts from fatty acids derived from Rosemary extracts disrupt the insect cell structure and permeability of its membranes. Cell contents then leak from damaged cells and the spider mites quickly die
Some of the components of SNS-217™ are also absorbed by the plant and then suppress the life cycle of the mites.
SNS-217™ Spider Mite Control kills the spider mite eggs as well by coating the eggs with a oily shield that disrupts the respiration to the egg; therefore no hatching will occur, they will just dry out.
Our Product has been tested in our lab on delicate new growth, clones, tomatoes, roses and other plants.

Do a quick google search on Sierra Natural Science Inc. SNS 217....they offer free samples, and I just received mine today along with a 16oz. sample of their 604B.....I have a buddy with a bad Spider mite issue, so I'll be testing this out and will give everyone a update

I use SNS 217. In veg I usually spray plant 50/50 ISO / Water Mix let it recover for an hour or so then spray it down with sns 217 come back 3 days later 50/50 ISO let it recover then spray it down with neem oil / azamax.

 

[supermanlives]

50 /50 iso, water sounds strong

 

[Ptone]

50 /50 iso, water sounds strong

I've used it several dozen times on several different plants / strains and never once burned any of them.

So I guess i just speak from experience.

Here they are in need of help!!

I was told to just get the Rosemary extract from a health food store, cheaper and the same. What do you guys think?

I agree it does work great, I used it late in bloom to get rid of a medium infestation. seemed a lil odd spraying the buds, I actually soaked them but all was good after harvest no residual nothing just mite free prime buds.

 

[b00m]

Sounds like a great product thanks for sharing the info and experiences peeps

 

[Yes4Prop215]

two days is too quick to tell....you gotta hit them again in 2-3 days. i bought SNS because the lady said it melts the eggs, which is important. my regular sprays usually kill the mites but the eggs are the main culprit...rotate sprays 2-3 days...

I've got mites on a tomato plant. With only one plant, I resisted buying something that might sit around for years. I got to looking for something that wouldn't require bending my nickle.

I thought hot pepper spray might fuck em up but couldn't find info on google. I did find that folks plant garlic, chrysanthemums or marygolds to keep mites away.

Not growing any garlic this year so I tried onion spray. I put a whole onion in a blender and added an equal part water. Strained the mash and sprayed it on the underside of the leaves an the blossom clusters.

Red spiders pierce the stem immediately behind the blossom and suck out the juice. Every blossom that falls is one less tomato.

The onion spray was actually recommended, even though it sounds like a bum idea. But the spiders are gone, I'm sure only temporarily.

I realize onion spray isn't something one wants on their weed plants. It makes my tomato smell like body odor. You know, when somebody eats lots of onion and garlic and they stink? Very close to that.

Wish I brought my camera.....plants are looking better, an still no sider-mites....this stuff works great!!

I used it this past winter as a clone brought them into my grow area inside. I tried about everything, but the SNS killed/got rid of them all. Great stuff and would recommend it to anyone with the dreaded mites. In my album, the LED grow shows what i got after a bad infestation. I got a good yield after a bunch of luv
