I had a horrifying case of scale on the parsley I bought into my house at the end of summer. Didn't realize it until it was too late and microscopic caterpillars were everywhere (thanks to my recent cannabis hobby, I had a jeweler's loupe to confirm). I added 1/2 teaspoon to 20 oz of water in a spray bottle, and they were gone before a week.

Not that I have any at the moment but it's always better to stay ready so that doesn't become an issue... I have a bottle of Spinosad it doesn't actually say on the bottle that it will kill spider mites but I heard this is some good stuff and I could stay ahead if I spray all the way through veg and up to 2 weeks before harvest it's organic and safe to use what do y'all think? Will this kill or prevent spider mites. I was able to successfully get rid of caterpillars my last outdoor grow season but I'm growing indoors this season

Spinosad will get the job done (or at least started)
All about breaking the reproduction cycle with spider mites. Spray every 3rd day for 2-3 weeks then scope and continue if need be.
ROTATE sprays.
I would say Spinosad is a good building block
Maybe try rotating sulfur and calicleans habanero spray which ya can google and find on the forums.
kill them fuckas

Spinosad is great for mites. Add a bit next time you water for some systemic action.

Spinosad will usually wipe out mites in a couple applications.

Yeah deff won't use that in flower and hopefully I won't need to use anything at all during flower... I didn't have the huge infestation of spider mites I got some clones from a friend who had spider mites but he told me he killed them all before giving them to me I'm just upkeeping I saw some dead ones but I haven't seen anything flying around or any webbing I'm just taking precaution

You can also make your own foliar spray, using soap or other wetting agent and 71 isopropyl alchohol kills mites on contact. I add these with Plant Therapy to make the foliar stronger.
