There’s no way OP can get it to harvest by diligently washing the plant every day with water and soap solution or a water & alcohol solution?

he could. I was just saying what i would do personally. I had two spotted mites a year or two ago.
It depends what you're going to do with the buds. If for personal consumption, do you want to smoke bug shit? neem oil? azamax? spinosad? hydrogen peroxide? I mean its probably not going to kill you. Likely, we've all done it.
if you're getting it tested by a lab to sell it, obviously thats not gonna go well.
If you're selling it on the street i suppose you have bigger things to worry about than if its got bugs/pesticides in it.
edit: making some sort of concentrate would be an option too. maybe the best one if you have 50 plants like this.

I tried to find out what's in it but there is no information available that I could find. I wouldn't use any product that I don't know the ingredients. Regardless of whether it works or not. Especially on cannabis plants that far into flower. There are lots of things that will kill mites effectively that are unsafe for humans.

Same, nothing on it. Doubt its more than repackaged common chemicals based on the description, but how do you do pest management with unknown ingredients, lol.
Might as well be magic, since you don't know what killed who, when, or how...good luck with first time mites. OP.

By the time you see webbing from mites you’re pretty much infested with anything in the same room.
I’ve seen a late flowering room have spider mites (guy didn’t even know he had them until I pointed out the webbing) he used NITE NITE SPIDER MITE I think but I told him it would most likely make his buds taste like shit.
I wasn’t wrong.
if you have got 48 plants in that room then you’re gonna be either very very lucky and only have them on one plant or you’re fucked.
if you sell any of that you’re growing then you should be ashamed of yourself if you’ve used that UNKNOWN product with UNKNOWN ingredients to kill off spider mites that you should have been able to catch early if you paid more attention to what you’re doing.
The best way to get rid of pests is to not get them in the first place with a decent IPM strategy.

I’m extremely lucky I’ve been through everything and 2 plants have it , plus it’s only for personal I don’t sell anything

Isopropyl alcohol (70%) equal (or slightly more) volume of water, a dash (¼tsp /gallon) of castile soap and potassium bicarbonate (2tsp/ gallon) spray the whole room every two days for a week. Then every three days for another week or so.
It will kill them. And will not hurt your buds. When you harvest, wash the buds to get rid of bug carcasses and such.

How much do you smoke a day to grow 49 plants worth for personal? Then I think about how far along this infestation is you missed and come to the conclusion you must be near comatose daily.

That’s all correct the plant infested was brought inside into our flower tent so it wasn’t growing with the Clones we had in flower it’s just the temperature where we live was dangerously low so I bought it into flower tent to finish it an it had contracted the mite infestation so it didn’t spread to widely across the remaining 4o something plants which was lucky in a way , I do smoke a lot then a lot is shared with friends and family we like a smoke daily it’s good for my personality disorder so it’s helping me a lot this plant plus near on a year from now I had 250£-400 a week cocaine habit which I went to rehab for for a month in the priory so to say I love this plant is an understatement hence why I grow so much of it . I’m very fortunate I don’t need to sell it for money as I’m completely comfortable financially and live well within my means this is my only true passion I’m trying to perfect as much as possible so newbie mistakes like the one I made must be a good learning curve . Anyway happy puffing along man , peace

Unfortunately my country being the uk is behind the times on legalising this plant so I have to work and grow extremely under the cover of darkness or will no doubt be thrown in the slammer for what I’m doing. I have 3 tents 1 with 48 plants in flower , one with 50 clones and 20 autos in flower and one with 4 big mothers in . It’s a fair bit of green on the grow but fuck it there’s a lot worse going on in the world
