i presume ur flowering...how many weeks in are u? u need to go buy a few items and incorporate them in2 a preventitve routine..and immediate treatment for the mites and eggs u have now...
with that said... buy a hot shot pest strip at lowes 6bucks..buy some 100% neem oil while ur at it...If ur not past the 4th week of bud..mix up neem by instrucitions (1tblspoon per gallon of water) and spray ur underside of leaves down....do it right be4 light out so it doesnt burn ur leaves..be sanitary bout touchn them now to..always wash ur hands and clothes..hang the pest strip close to infected plants.. next day instead of neem hit em with soapy water spray..lil anti bacterial soap and water mixed ...itll help suffocate eggs, and dislodge them..use the water/soap spray for 3 days st8 and on the fourth treatment use neem again..use this 3water/soap sprays to 1 neem teatment for 12 days st8. thatll help kill the waves of mites youll get since there multi generational.. and if all fails and plants still look bad...buy a DR Doom pyerthium bomb...and follow can instructions..def do something or ur yield will be poopey to say the least..hope this helps...

1st.. Faq.....to plant problems....... to pests...
Spidermites show as small white dots (pinhole size) on top of leaves.. and you may seec a VERY fine silky web at the leaf base & nodes.. turn leaf over and look if you see VERY TINY spots (mites)...
for mites you can take a pint of water add 2-3 drops dish soap... some spray whole plant.. I use rag and wipe under leaf with solution... you may need to repeat, but I'd wait a day between as sometimes the plant may react poorly to it and look droopy, it will be OK, just my preference.. also remove and replace top 1" of soil in case of larvae.. I also paint a band around stem to try to stop shit climbing up... Luck.
