At this stage use of miteicides, neem oil ect. probably not the best. A solution would be to make up a 50/50 mixture of isopropanol/water, use that as a spray to treat the mites.
Doesn't really kill em, just makes them drunk, they fall off plants, stop breeding ect will be enough to keep them in check until you finish. Best of luck.

[h=1]Fortefog Smoke Generator[/h]

Smoke Bombs are back! Well, in fact they never went away, but the chemical used has changed and is now 13.5% Permethrin.

They are basically a small pyrotechnic that produces toxic smoke, as well as killing any spider mite that may be crawling around in your growing area between cycles they also kill adult thrip that are normally impossible to eradicate.
Each fogger does 7.5 cubic metres. To work out how many you will need, simply multiply the dimensions of your growroom together to get the metres cubed; for example - 3m x 2m x 2.5m = 15 metres cubed, you will need to use two foggers to effectively kill everything in the area dead.

at lights out, turn all your fans off and set of one of these babies, then a second 3 days later to catch the freshly hatched mites. To be sure, do a third 3 days after that to kill of the last stragglers.

I was plagued by mites until i found this. ignore the packaging and get the largest they sell, 22.5g i think. Good luck.

Ladybugs are the safest at this point imo and at harvest just vacuum them off and rinse your buds free of any ladybug secretions.

If your infested then ladybirds wont touch it. They multiply faster than rats and the irish. (only jokin paddy). Read about the reproductive cycle of the little fukers, 2 can become millions in a very short time and those millions...... do i need to say more.

A good cheap treatment when ya in veg is a very weak eco soap mix (folair spray), it leaves a stick residue on them and gunks up their mouths so they cant eat. don't use in flower though it fucks ya bud up.

I have been to hell and back over mites and tried everything, most treatments just manage them not erradicate em.

mighty wash
use as directed
not a pesticide
no pesticides
i GUARANTEE 1 wash will do it
take plant out of room give it a floro and a fan - mighty wash WHOLE PLANT TOP BOTTOM OVER UNDER
leave fan on plant till dry
place back in room

laugh in the face of mites
meanwhile either lower your temps or raise your humidity
also add a circulation fan to your room - moving air is hard to ride
AFTER mighty wash, add ladybugs every other week
