Hello all. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have a small problem, that im trying to stop from being a big problem. I am 4 days away from harvest. I was going to start flushing my plants out today with just water. One of my plants, and its the only one i can see, has spider mites. Not a lot, but enough to know they are there. Found a few tiny webs between a few leaves, and the back of the fan leaves its easy to see the mites are there. My question is what should i do. Should i skip flushing and harvest this one now, or should i deal with them the best i can and flush it for 4 days? My biggest concern is them spreading, or the infestation getting bigger. If i hang it to dry, most of the mites will die correct? But i don't want them traveling to other plants. Should i harvest them all today and skip flushing period? Any info is appreciated. Im growing sour d by the way. Dwc hydro. And sorry if im posting in the wrong thread.
 
Spider mites are easy to deal with, you can make your own soap water and spray it to get rid of them. Use Google for recipe

Also a nice rainy day can get rid of them. Since you're growing inside you could just give them a shower.

He's 4 days from harvest, I don't think he wants to spray them with soap....just saying. Probably to late to do much really. Yes a cold, and I do mean cold spray will get rid of them sometimes but only if their not out of control. Just harvest if your only 4 days anyways. I will wash my girls with cold water after harvest if needed and never had an issue but I keep them in a dry, warmish environment with lots of diffused air movement and well trimmed to dry.
 
If you see webs you have an infestation... Too late for soap..I would harvest without a flush.. Don't give those bugs anymore time.. Rinse buds with cold water... That's how I did it..
