Hey all, 6w veg from seed was getting ready to flip 12/12 tonight. This morning I saw 3 red mites that I murdered the shit out of. But I was running late so I had to leave for work. I do have been oil and just read about the caliclean / pepper spray. I would really like to not affect the taste of my meds but more importantly I think I'm screwed because this coming week I will be gone for a week...I imagine since I saw a couple "mature" mites so to speak that there are probably many eggs lying around too. I didn't see any small swarms but I tried to check thoroughly and quickly. Should I just hit them tonight with the neem oil or prepare the caliclean? Or even both? I feel like I got totally shafted in the timing of things. :-( any advice is appreciated.

Not in flower so whatever you do, you won't have it on the buds. I would hold off flowering until they're gone. Mites like hot and dry. Cool the room off and you'll make them easier to kill. Neem oil now again in a week. Hang these up on a fan (low speed) and blow it at the plants when you're gone. Iupload_2016-5-14_13-57-41.jpeg would use two
