Help! Mites on my buds

I saw a post to use a little baking powder and a little lemon juice warm water first wash. Then room temp water to do final wash. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Makes a little sense since Flying Skull Nuke Em's active ingredient is citric acid, inert ingredients potassium sorbate ( a natural fungicide).

Dunno about your humidity and shit but keep the room dry until the rinse dries. You don't want them damp too long.

I kept the lights off right after spraying. Everything is dry now
Good luck but remember those are some greasy little cocksuckers and you gotta stay on them, I gave up and went to toxic systemics up until flower and then I use either Nuke em or mighty wash as maintenance. I use power sprayers to apply so coverage is pretty good.

Got to love threads like this , i mean to have mites appear mid flower is bottom line carelessness, of the grower.
some good lessons to be learnt here first is, if you had mites previous grow then you better seriously re sterilize, your complete room , this means taking it all down washing walls floors lights everything .. with BLEACH
Second is preventive maintenance , i do not care if your growing organic , DWC or what ever all plants need to be sprayed with a insecticide and most importantly out sourced clones need to be contained and treated before introduction to your grow room
***** Keep friends and other people out of your fucking grow room this is the second cause of introducing mites into a grow space ,
All air intakes need a good micron filter to not allow airborne insects , and other contaminants pathogens , and Fungi spores to enter
Your grow space should be like a operating table, Sterile and clean , don't get lazy ..
Now i have had mites before people you have to realize there are 2 options
eradicating them or controlling them..
With that said you want to get rid of them then them spray bottles you got ?? Throw them in the garbage there useless and are used to control method of mites ,
You will never get rid of mites NEVER by spraying / misting the plants ...

You need to bring out the Big guns and yes even if your some organic Buff get over your self and use poison to rid these fuckers once and for all

The best i find is Bug B gone remember folks this is done in veg state on all plants all the time so There is no unexpected guests arriving later on in grow
forget spraying plants YOU never get them all NEVER pending on size of plants you need to make a drum of poison and dunk plants upside down into liquid right up to soil ,,
Simple let soil dry up little more then usual .. place hand on soil stalk inbetween finger ,, tip plant up side down and dunk , moving it up n down for 2 mins , have done this with 3 - 5 gallon pots no problem
do this to all plants and repeat 4 - 5 days later ( with saved liquid poison ) i use 54 gallon drum if lateral branching is to wide for drum then carefully bundle up the plant so it will fit

People you need to realize Stop fucking wasting your time spraying plants or using some organic pesticide thinking your going to save the world or what ever ??
GET REAL INSECT POISON and deal with the issues cause the more time you waste your plants are getting the life sucked out of them

Well this was my first indoor grow. I have learned a lot. And I will be doing my best to prevent mites in the future.

So I pulled the plant today. Washed the buds and did a final inspection. Buds look clean and trichomes are intact. Buds are hanging to dry.
