Spider Mites and Neem Oil

This is my first grow ever (Amnesia Haze Autoflower) and I'm growing outdoors. I noticed some evidence of spider mites on the leaves of the plant. It's pretty minimal. There are some white spots, but there are few enough that it's not easy to spot. Upon further inspection, I found one thread between 2 leaves and I saw one mite, so I know that they're there, but the infestation doesn't seem too bad thus far. The plant started flowering pretty recently. (Like 5-7 days ago.) I had read neem oil was an effective defense against them, but I wasn't sure if it was ok to spray neem oil during flowering. Not wanting to take the chance that the mites start reproducing too quickly, I sprayed it liberally on the top and bottom of the leaves. I was going to follow up on the neem oil treatment every other day for the next week or so, but I'm still kinda worried that it might affect the buds, even though they're just starting to form. Does anyone know whether or not the neem oil is ok on the buds? Or is there anything else I should do to make sure the plant and buds are ok?

Neem is catching some slack for cyclic vomiting, maybe try Habenero brew. I always heard that if you only use One type of treatment against mites they will eventually become immune to it. You can brew Habeneros for one treatment then neem or karanga for the next one

It might be a good idea to test 1 or 2 lower branches/buds before spraying the whole plant. That way if they die or go bad you still have a plant...just a thought.
Any time I have sprayed buds they turned brown in a day or 2 and died...and be careful what you spray because most likely you'll be smoking that when its done.

How are your girls doing now...Its been about two weeks since your 1st post?

I did neem the very first spray and then switched to habanero. They grew pretty well after I got rid of the mites. I'm harvesting today.
