Help! Spider Mites Found in Week 7 of Flower

Never thought of vacuuming. Definitely gonna try that. I read about an alcohol/water mix. I might rinse them with that. I heard it kills on contact.
 
Ive never done it before but check out bud washing, basically dipping the plant in and out of a tub of water then drying it after. Dont know how bad the spider mites in question are so might be worth it to check out. Before the mites die they will try and leave the plant and live somewhere else after drying, most of em.
 
I don't have any webs yet, I noticed the mites with my 1000x scope looking at trichome ripeness. I caught them early. I like the bud washing idea. I'm gonna drown them mites.
 
Man kinda makes you wonder how many times you've bought web laced bud from a dispensary .....Oh my god and any of us old enough to remember brick brown Mexican brick weed I probably smoked straight fermented mice guts and cockroach legs a time or two, and plenty of ground-up mites...yuck....thank god for American homegrown.....
 
I was sick when I saw that red mite crawl across my scope. I ordered some lady bugs. They all died. All they did was crawl around in the dirt. I guess they at something. I never saw them on the leaves or buds so I am a bit confused.

it does. 50/50 is plenty. but remember that cannabinoids dissolve in alcohol. this late in the game, it will probably ruin at least some of your trichomes
physical removal is your best bet at this point
 
The garden is still prospering. Im going to apply a treatment.

Kind of off topic but has anyone seen where you mix a little peroxide in water then dip the buds it is supposed to get rid of powdery mildew there is more to it than just that like percentage and how long to dip but peroxide doesn't destroy cannabinoids
