Captian Jack's spinosad is safe to use lat flower. It's not toxic.

Using a hose to simply spray the plants down will remove most of them. Repeat as needed. Make sure to let the plants dry well before dark.

But that just spreads them around and maybe soaks the buds.

Nah. Maybe if spraying with a water bottle. Take the hose to them and it will remove a good number of them.

Spraying with water is actually one thing recommended to do for them.

I would and have used spinosad.

If you have a variable transformer like used on inline fans you can plug a shop vac into it to slow the vac down a little and actually vacuum the leaves and bud. You can suck the leaves into the hose without tearing them them to shreds.

Think i might ride it out. Also read that earthworm casting can repel them and i added some on Monday. So might just wait to see if i see more. Addded a heater fan from veg room and blowing it directly on flowering plant. After this harvest, i will do some deep cleaning and scrubbing.

Just an fyi,
Worm castings aren't going to stop mites.

If they were mine I would put them outside and leave them there.
Use light dep if needed.

Outdoors there are temp fluctuations and predators that will minimize damage.

Sometimes they flat out leave.

Go with manual removal.
And finish outside.

If you use iso don't spray buds

I like to pretend im perfect but mites happen every few years for me for whatever reason.

In fact this little sd plant and 5 others
Were tiny and mite ridden.
I dunked them in iso water and put them outside.

No more mites.

Im just using these for seeding different phenos.
But point is. No more mites
