sorry to hear about the webs :( insecticidal soap works great just follow the directions on the bottle your plants should be fine.

Nothing works to get rid of these pest apart from close down the growfor about 2 week and wipe down with neat bleach everyday during that period.Then start again pref from seed unless you can get clones that have not got spider mites.But all growers go through this at one point in the growing.You will get my drift once you get the neem oil the spider mites will nave laid eggs these will have a tollerance to any agents that you have.

Those things are nasty
I would harvest early. Clean with bleach and use new clones from another source
neem works great on vegging plants if u dip them every 3 days for a month

you can try the natural approach and throw some ladybugs in there... they're carnivores so they'll leave your plant alone, and have at it with any bugs/larvae/eggs they find... peace...

This is a fight almost impossible to win. If you are at the point you have webbing you are seriously infested. The only thing to do is shut it all down and clean everything. I would just forget about what you have grown and toss it. No reason to be smoking spider mites or the eggs. Most growers will go through this as its really hard to keep them out of he grow. But you can control them but you have to catch them early. Do some checking on how to identify them and check your next batch every day. not just for mites but its good to check them out througly to avoid the many problems plants can have. Plant need your help to grow into the high quality bud we all love to smell taste and smoke. I wonder what mites taste like....
