Mix garlic power and chili or cyan power with 1-2 drops of liquid soap dish soap and spray it on your plants. It's up to you how much to use 1 tsp of both to 32 oz. of water be where I start. I don't recommend this though but it will slow them down and if your going to flower soon think about that shit on the buds you'll need a couple of weeks till the shit wear out or no smoke for you. You need something made to kill those little fucks try your hydro store. Just my opinion Good luck

Do it. but start lightly and raise your lights. this shit on your leaves can easily let light burn them.

I find that keeping all questionable plants quarantined and in lower light helps a lot. The mites don't go as aggressive when the heat drops down. Don't mess around with home remedies. If you like your plants, neem the fuck out of them twice in the same week and do a bug bomb in the area.

You want to get rid of them or battle with them?
You waana battle them do the home remidies...you will continue to see the spidermite cause your not killing the eggs... only the hatchling and adults...eggs hatch continuously 1 mite can lay 100s of eggs
Spend $20.... get AVID off ebay... treat the plant 1 time.... kills eggs and mites..... spray bottom of leaves...then the top.
Only need 5-6 drops of Avid added to 32oz spray bottle water

I've never used the Avid, but the other 2 of this trio, Forbid and Floramite.
When you get tired of screwing around with the home remedies, get 1 of these 3 and kill the fuckers 100%. Adults, larvae and eggs.
All are ~$20 delivered. I've never used that seller, but a guy called Raider_Nation. He'll be right there also.

50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water in spray bottle, drench leaves, once a day until they are gone. you can also add a few drops of oil but its hard to get it to spray. The alcohol does 2 things, it suffocates and smothers with fumes , and it also dehydrates the lil buggers super fast as it evaporates. I have never had any ill effects on my plants as the alcohol evaporates off in seconds leaving just water and dead mites.

forget all of the chemicals and granny mixes lol if you have lady bugs then your problem is solved release in waves week 1 release how ever many you want then week 2 release the same because you need hungry ladybugs and after a while they will mate and start dieing off i had same problem lady bugs do the job and fun to watch when high lol hope this helps
also keep your grow space clean with baby wipes i mean we trust them to wipe babies asses why not to clean area! lol
i say baby wipes so you can avoid putting plants around all chemicals and can clean without moving them put a bowl of water in there to they need drink

I saw a video where a grower put both ladybug and praying mantis eggs in the same space, long story short eventually the praying mantises ate the ladybugs and flew away! It was funny, ladybugs are good for small pests, mantises are better for bigger pests, never mix the two!

I am glad you got the issue resolved. If you read up on the buggers you will see why they are like the Borg, and you really need something systemic to finish them off. If you can keep the lady bugs going that's great.
