Ok Everything was going great............until i saw spider mights/ webs on 3 plants that are 5 weeks into flowering. My question is....should i try and treat the plants or cut and remove them from the grow room. It seems the other plants are fine except the three which have webs and obvious infestation. What are my options? I would hate to lose the entire crop

FYI i took a wet paper towel and tried to wipe the webs and as much of the mites as i could off. Dont know how much help that did?? the Plants' leaves have dots all over them

Will Houseplant soap work?? or is it too late into the flowering stage??

most will say too late but u have no choice, spray with stuff but take care not to get the buds if u can, or can hoover some off, ansd just try to dirupt them as much as possible, one other thing which would be the best is to invest in natural predators, they shud do the trick

Being that far along I wouldn't be comfortable spraying much (toxicity and fear of causing mold)... but, when I was faced with the same issue a while ago, I did spray them with iso alcohol/water (50/50). It evaporates VERY quickly, and kills them on contact. Mine didn't seem to be on the buds, just leaves. So, I was careful to mainly spray leaves. It didn't totally get rid of them, but kept them at bay. I had to keep at it with a little spot spraying every day or two.
