Lady bugs will never take care of a mite issue. you best spray something. You can make teas with guanos or top dress.

When it comes to mites you have so many things to choose from to kill them I know ppl say lady bugs eat spider mites but they dont thats from personal exp.

You can go out and buy some Neem oil, or Dawn Dish soap original use a cap full per spray bottle the 56oz ones, You can also Buy this spray call Lady Bug Works pretty good, You can also buy Something with pyrethrin in it that works...

There is a endless list of things you can do, A simple Spider Mite Control search in google will tell you everything you need to know.

Best of luck hope you get them out before to long.

hit the bottoms. are they in pots? if so, its quite easier to hit the bottom of the leaves. you can also have a look into predatory mites. Damn, i just saw some 70% neem at biglots also for like 4 bucks!

OH! you can get the lady bug pheremone shit to attract em back to ya.

hmmm? and your branches should buckle and maybe tear before snapping off. Got pics?

Its my experience that plants whos branches snap easily are under watered. Maybe even root bound.

As far as the mites go... I have never had a mite problem outdoors, but indoors, usually just keeping the dust down, and the humidity level higher, and making sure the plants are well watered controls them fairly easy.

outdoor in veg state, they are getting king of big actually I might need to build a box with sun cloth around it soon.

how much water is too much?and what exactly is root bound? i dug the holes pretty deep with loose good soil, i used micro bloom grow nutrients last month and applied guano last night
