Spider Mites at Harvest

So my harvest window just opened up and I'm looking at my girls with a microscope to see what's going on. Things are looking nice, 85% cloud, 5% clear, and 10%amber. Great. Until I saw my first spider mite. FUCK! WTF IS THAT!? figured it was a spider mite looked up spider mites and lo and behold, they're spider mites. Now the speckling makes sense that wasn't a deficiency so what now? I'm ready to cut and my girls are crawling with these motherfuckers. Now from what I've read the last couple hours trolling around my best option seems to be a hot 15min bath in 115F water to kill these fuckers and then hang in front of a fan to dry up the excess water. No webs yet just tons of the little fuckers. Upon closer examination they can be clearly seen top and bottom. Leaves are fully speckeld. Just wondering what your thoughts and opinions are.20160805_191531.jpg

Look into azamax ....it says it can be sprayed up to the day of harvest ....I've had to spray it very late into flowering before with no issues ......that's the only advice I can give you .......good luck

I had great success with Mighty wash, which is apparently fine to spray during flower. Killed on contact.

no, no, no. if you are harvesting time, dont spray or do anything to them. if you dont have webs yet, it isnt all that bad, they mostly stay off the buds until you have webbing. cut them down where they are. do a wet trim where they are or very near. hang them upside down in the same space. this will take care of 90% of the mites. clean up the space below the hanging plants. treat the top portion of your upside down plants and the apparatus they are hanging from with one of the oils+soap combos because as the branches dry out the leftover mites will travel upwards off your buds.

I totally mited out once. We got a twister trimmer and it sucked the mites off. If you looked you could see dead dry mites on the buds.
Never told any one, no one complained.

I DID BROWN OUT FROM AZAMAX its not safe to spray in flower and it kills hairs and makes things nasty.

Conserve SC is! And it will kill the fuck out of them as strong as avid and gone in 4 hours!
Its bacteria so it vanishes when dry.

I had webs the size of condoms on mine,.

Azamax did kill mites but they reappeared the next day any way.
