I disagree with the bailing out/ chop. You can easily deter mites to lower pest pressure and even if high pressure those kind of mites ( vs broad/hrm) are not gonnea degrade ur over all buds as they are leaf eaters. de-leaf it 90% and spray with 1/3 70% iso 1/3 sals soap 1/3 vegetable oil or canola. Apply at 1oz per gal, apply next 24hrs again, next day 1/2 oz per gal . I suggest mixing this into water and stir it but wait 10-15minutes before spraying. Spray in dark and have min 3 hour before lights on .key is spraying 100% of leafs exp the underleaf.
yes iso degrades but not enough at this rate to worry and def will kill ur eggs,all stages of those species of mites . the good news and main reason I‘m explaining this /replied was I didn’t see anyone explain these mites won’t eat ur buds down but also like many pest once u dry it they will leave ur plant. once chopped down they will literally go onto the tip of ur stem and scout. If you go in first 3-5 days if pressure high and use iso and wipe the tips than ur even doing another mode of eradication.
don’t make ag/farming out to be end game, youlll be fine but remember in future IPM and prevention and scouting is key ! Yes you’ll get crop but those bugs did fuck with ya, it’s the keeping super low pressure or none is key and you can def do it in future. farmings a lesson in itself and more issues more u appreciate when u can overcome and not have those issues.
