harvest now, take a little loss or throw them all away, anything u put on them now u wont be able to flush it from the plants, might hurt u to smoke it, weeks 2-4 u can use neem oil or pepper spray but will have to coat the entire leaf both sides, and rub it on buds if mites are there, i had the same thing with mine but i caught it on week 2, good luck

"Mighty wash" has quite a lil following from what I've seen. Just spray directly on leaves (lots on undersides), no mixing. I believe it's good to use up until harvest

just diligently spray them away with miticide... do it at daybreak so it has all day to evaporate and reduce chances of budrot. Waking up at daybreak blows, but not as much as losing the quality in your harvest

The liquid lady bug only works a couple of days I thought? I am afraid of spraying anything on the buds at all. I got mighty wash today but I am even scared to spray them with it since they are so far into flowering. Can you tell me what you think of them I don't want to harvest early??? I am attaching pics thus far of a couple of them. This is my first grow and I am going crazy over these spider mites.

U can use the product Soy'ranor'a. Its safe and organic to use up til the very day of flower. Generally u dont spray your buds, your goal is to hold the girls off til harvest. U can use Soy'ranor'a to wash your fruit just before u eat. Its very safe but expensive!!! Its 30 bucks for there smallest bottle. BTW dont chuck your plants away! haha, thats just stupid!

man if you're worried about spraying, then vacuum them off. You can spray your plants if you need to without harming them or your end result, if you are using an organic food grade spray. Or you could just smoke the little bastards. Don't panic... they are organic!
