I have worked in green houses the last half a decades and we would take the plants that have been mited by spidermites and we wash them off the plants and if possible change the soil because they are soil creatrures and come up from the soil, I heard that Cannabis does not tolerate nicotiene very well at. A few year backs I had read brief paragraph about using safe soap and nicontine, because nicotene is great insect detererent, you need a couple of Cigarette and boil to get the nicontene out of the cigarettes and its about 50/50 solution in a spray bottle

They have a product called Organicide at Home Depot that works great. I used it once on plants that had webs they were so infested, and they are all gone. It is the only product I have found that works on the eggs.
I mixed like 1oz of Organicide, like 1oz neem oil, and a splash of dish soap, in 1gal of water, and wiped all my leaves with this mix. I rubber gloves and just dipped my fingers in the solution and rubbed all the leaf surfaces, keeping it off the buds. This stuff stinks so do it outside.
You may want to try like 1/2oz of each product the first time as some strains don't like it as much as others and drop some fan leaves. This is the best treatment for mites that I have found. You can also flood your room with Co2 during the dark period. Get it up to like 30,000 ppm of Co2 in your room, and this will help kill the adults, but not the eggs. Like I said, that Organicide is made to kill the eggs as well so it is the best product I can recomend.
