Its my understanding spider mites lay eggs under the leaves so I don't think what you showed in the picture is spider mites. I've had mites before and i never seen any sort of larva like you showed in the pictures

Tetra-San is the only product i have found that will kill 2 spot spider mites that have grown resistant to the standard treatments (avid, floramite ect). I have a shit ton of it but i bet its illegal for me to ship it or i would hook u guys up. Those fuckers are the bane of marijuana growers out here in CA, breed straight through the most hard core chemical miticide. Tetra-San is an ovicide and a miticide so it literally kills their ability to breed, only product that works.

AND NOTHING THAT KILLS MITES IS PEOPLE OR PET SAFE, WEAR A RESPIRATOR, VENTILATE THOROUGHLY BEFORE RE-ENTRY.

If you are able to keep the plants air tight with a Hot Shot Pest Strip or 2 for atleast 8 hrs a day those work too. But again these are highly toxic and permiate the air like a gas and cannot be used if you live anywhere near your plants.

This picture shows me mite damage, not mites or mite larva or eggs. If those white splotches are in fact the pest, and not damage from the pest, then you do not have mites. Mites cause white dots on leaves as they eat the fluid from inside, if those are a white pests larva, you have something else, not spider mites, which is actually probably a very good thing.

so the white things i see on the leaves are larva? you dont have mites you have some sort of other pest. Mites will be under your leaves and look like that 3rd picture like tiny circular spiders that are clear with black spots. Spider mites lay tiny eggs that are almost unable to be seen by the eye, when they hatch they are tiny spiders, they never look like a larva as in your picture. SPider mites are by far the most difficult pest to get rid of so be happy it isnt mites.
