Mighty Wash is ozonated water

I don't know if anyone has figured this out yet or not, but my research leads me to believe the mighty wash is nothing but ozonated water.
I heard mention of Nikola Tesla, my favorite scientist of all time, and so I looked and looked further. Seems as though Tesla did do some experimenting with ozone generation. Then I did research on ozonated water.
The stuff kills mold and also single and double cell living organisms and is good for removing odors.
You can make an ozone generator out of a neon light transformer. You need high voltage to produce a corona discharge ozone generator to produce large amounts of ozone.
You can pump pure oxygen into the ozone generator and infuse the water with ozone.
Apparently the ozone has an extra oxygen molecule that is unstable and it tries attaching itself to whatever it can... O3 is ozone. When it tries attaching to MITES it makes them litterally explode.
I hope this information is helpful.
I am currently looking for a 15,000 volt transformer to build one, Don't have a lot of cash to waste so I'm looking for a free one/ recycled one (dumpsters).

Might be easier to buy a water ozonator off of amazon or ebay. One for a single glass of water runs around $60.
 
I believe it was Coot that said Mighty Wash was water, and linalool.

Much cheaper to just use essential oils.

Ozone is not good for humans.

Ozone has a short life once generated and would not survive long enough to be a constituent of MW , might as well use peroxide.

If you want to make ozonated water then one of these off fleabay does a good job , still working after several years.

interesting!

Not to change the subject, but Nuke em seems like its just citric acid, yeast (brewers yeast?) and potassium sorbate as a preservative. By weight, seems like 2 grams citric acid crystals and 3/4 lb of brewers yeast in a gallon of water would make the same thing as the concentrate. Is it really that simple, or if there something more too it all? Maybe more to making it?
I hear it smells like oranges, but havent had that experience with the earth juice ph down which is 99.5% citric acid.

also, I'm a little confused, is adding h2o2 the equivilent of ozonating? i know it oxygenates the water.

Actually, it's not. It's "frequency adjusted water", ie., snake oil. Spider mites don't like water, so spraying them with any water will knock most of them off.

ozone has a very short life ,theres no way I know of to keep it stable for extended periods....unless theres some new technology

It smells kinda like carwax from a wand carwash... It definately leaves a "sheen" on the leaves and made a vinyl floor shiny like it was covered in wax.

I tossed all the Larf bud I sprayed with it after looking at the floor...I don't need that "mystery shit" in my lungs.

Did it kill the Mites....Yeah...but I think it has more to do with the surficant than anything else.

Yes, it's a very expensive snake oil that lists as 99.85% water. Not only dis it disinegrate all the mites, it took care of the pm as well. I have occasional humidity issues and swear by this stuff.

I try to use preventive spraying with compost tea, tobacco, chili peppers and neem too but if there's an outbreak or I'm busy or lazy, Mighty Wash is great. After a day or two the smell dissipates and I love the sheen it leaves on the leaves.

I try to MW them at week 3-4 of flower for them to have a clean start on bud building...

Love the stuff

Essential Oils will do everything mighty wash will do, only WAY cheaper.
 
Will essential oils kill the eggs too?

Yes. The terpenes in essential oils will kill adults, and melt eggs. Coupled with neem they will keep you completely pest free.

Potassium silicate at high rates will also help to ward off insects.

Clove, thyme, lavender, oregano, basil, geranium, peppermint, rosemary, eucalyptus, etc..

A lot of them are also antinfungal. Weekly sprays will keep pests, and mildew away forever.

A few drops will not do it. You need to be working in ml's. Anywhere from 4ml's to 15ml's per gallon of water.

Some Company's are using more than that in their products. Although they are typically only using one oil.

I currently am using 4 oils in my weekly spray. Haven't seen a bug since. :)

Leaves are waxy, and shiny as hell too. Plants look great.

Way cheaper than shit from the store too.

My old mother plant was being neglected in the basement, and after two years finally came up with spider mites.. wtf?? Anyway, I had another couple old plants just hanging out with her, sprayed them all with mightywash, and killed the mites. Killed the mother plant too... The others survived.
