I use pure crop 1 and it’s worked great. And it’s safe to spray all the way to harvest. No pesticides. Just soapy water that has been chemically altered to suffocate mites. It’s pretty neat. I find it works better than neem oil. ‍♂
But maybe the other more experienced growers have other options.

I have no idea. My plants were outside and i was able to fend off mites. You just have to regularly inspect your plants. Whenever I saw a strand of webbing, I’d spray. If you wait til you have an infestation, as you learned, it’s too late. I did more spraying before my plants started flowering. And now I don’t really have any serious pests munching on my plants.

Those spots were the areas that the mites were feeding in the leaves. That should have been your first clue. Mites reproduce super fast. So you have to get that under control at the first sign of anything.

just get rid of it and be more selectful of what you bring into your tent in the future. Keep outside plants outside and tented plants inside.

I see you want to fight till the end to confirm what experienced guys said above. There was a thread not so long time ago where the guy was asking about cleaning the space after heavy spider mites infestation if you seek for it you will find it for sure. The point is that he went till the end and his buds were like covered with white canvas. And there is also a way how to cure them, unbelieaveable! But I think that guy was running huge run and it was completely different situation than yours. Anyway if you want to go thru, try this, maybe it helps. There are also other products from that line, maybe you will find better one. I think there is a special one against mites, thrips and spiders, but do not remmember which one. Search for it! Good luck

I had mites on my grow this year. Broad Mites.

I used Safers spray twice, unintended heat treatment and finally I'll use Kontos to finish off the treatment.

I always spray every nook and cranny in the tent when I treat the plants as well.

What about using predator bugs. Mites to kill mites. Sounds counter productive but they will do a good job.and no pesticide or poison sprays

Not a bad idea but predatory mites work best on mite infections (lower numbers). Once you hit infestation, predatory mites work overtime just to keep the infestation at Infection level leaving you with a constant balance of Mite vs Mite.
