Now When u say spider mites, do mean hemp russet/broad mites or regular two spot mites? 109% diff issues and def diff Ipm/sop needed
example hrm/broad are so nasty they will even eat ur buds alive , regular mites don’t . hrm/broad mites u can’t see and they don’t produce webbs or eye visually eggs vs regular mites. Hrm/broad mite is so small it’s small than a regular mites egg and they are so small they will produce photoins into leafs and semi attach inbetween the leafs tissue and that’s also why it’s soo hard to kill them without a product like acid or forbid .
i suggest getting a good scope and get a confirm what species u are seeing. Unlike hrm/broad if it’s just two spot and it’s not a crazy pressure/populations u really can just let it go and like many pests once the plant dies/dries when harvesting/drying the physical pest will have no food and like many pest u can physically see the pest leaving on the stems and looking for food. hrm/broad would be a diff subject caude if that was case and ur pest populations if that and ur mid flower and it shows population I would suggest spraying suffoil-x every 7days along with venerate mixed inand both are safe to harvest . Suffoilx mode will kill all stages of all mites including hrm and broad (4-5T per gallon water if high pressure, otherwise 2.5T). The main point of these products is they don’t over stress plant even on high dosage, pest can’t become resistant, can be mixed with many pesticides and biocontrols with no bad effect and cost effective

key with products that are like forbid or acid is 100% surface spraying and also making sure to never miss a spray but also keeping ur infected lesfs if hrm or broad removed , hrm and broad like I stated above fuck ur plants health up cause they add toxins to it to make it more easy on them to chow down and this is why if infected with them you’ll see what is called “tocoing” and they unlike regular mites attack to[s and new growth and have np with high rh or many ranges of temps vs regular mites where they need lower rh and thrive at heat .
