You gotta go at it in a multi-prong attack strategy. These fuckers are tough and its unlikely that one approach is gonna knock them back.

Here's what i've used with success, in order of desperation IMO:

1. SM90 in res is a decent preventative and also wetting agent for root zone; will spike pH so bear in mind
2. Anything with spinosad is a reliable and organic treatment you should be using weekly
3. Bug Annihilator is a blend of essential oils and mites hate this! Can be used in bloom
4. Mites & Mildew Washout is similar, with added neem; also can be used in bloom
5. All else fails and infestation is out of control, bomb the room with Beethoven TR single action aerosol... and if persistent after that you can move to stage 2 aerosol Pylon... warning: both are toxic so proceed with caution when using in bloom, and DO NOT enter your grow for 24hrs if you can help it

Be prepared to spend some cash on products if you want 100% success against the Borg.

So the captn jack, work suprizingly better than anticipated, i did 3-4 foliars with that stuff, i also rotated with go gnats, witch im liking very much, i did a forbid spray for under leafes before flip to bloom, followed by a heavy ro rinse 30 min after forbid foliar. I just scrogged em b4 flup, ill post a pic.
I ended up buying method-1 ppm and ive used it 4 times give or take, im deff digging the method-1 ppm, it smells great, and will use in flower as a ipm.
With area sprays after every doliar, using the more organic remidies have seemed to prove itshelf vs the harsher ones ive used.

Amblyseius Andersoni for all mites. These predator mites like lower temps in the low 70's as well. They eat russet mites, broad mites, spider mites. Fuck Avid and Forbid. If you are using that, you better not be smoking that shit with anybody but yourself.

Personally, if the infestation is that severe, I would toss everything and wash the room down with bleach. Then I would start over and introduce the Amblyseius Andersoni predator mites before the infestation is severe. Do not take clones from people without putting clones in quarantine for at least a month. Thats the most common way to get these fuckers is by bringing them into your garden yourself.
