let them go, they'll attack the leaves, leaving almost all of the buds alone. when harvesting, trim from the bottom to the top, shaving off the webs and bud leaves, hang upside down to dry. the mites will go up the stem to the cut, and die out quickly. don't spray, that'll be a bad thing. just bite your nails and be patient, it'll be all right :)

i had the same prob i used neem oil then hung up the hot shot no pest strip

the oil is natural but needs 10 to 14 days to clear other wise foul tate

good luck mites not so bad

we have all had them as unwanted guests

I would avoid the pesticides at this stage - and trust me, I have no problem using them during early to mid flowering. I agree with the alcohol and cotton swab just to keep them in check until you harvest.

Then...consider water curing them. A guy on here had the exact same problem and did the water cure. He said that method washed off a bunch of mites, eggs and crap that he wouldn't have seen otherwise.

MMMMM....a big toke of mite crap!

Good Luck
