Sup guys I can't get rid of these fucking spider mites, any suggestions besides neem oil cuz that DOES NOT WORK for these lil fuckers!! I'm only a week ish from harvest.. How big of a deal are they? When I check the trichs I see them munching away and I want to set my plant on fire literally.. I guess I'm more concerned for next time since this one is about done.. I'm a lil cranky sorry bout that but nothing I read seems to apply to my plants.. Is it just me, maybe but damn sometimes I think I'm growing some unknown plant.. I'm at 80 days flower and could go 10 or more days so like damn near 100 days flower for an Indica.. Lmao!! People say 60ish days on some of their strains and I'm not calling bullshit but I've never seen it.. Ok I'm done lol.. Spider mites incase u forgot.:?

save your time/money, and terminate the grow. if you see a web. if you can catch them before you got a good chance. but if you see a web its too late.

then clean, the room and anything you had it there. and check your clothes and shoes to be washed.

You can't only use 1 thing because they breed immunities. Try a spinosad/pyrethrin product as well and make sure you get the undersides of the leaves because if 1 survives they will literally be right back again. So spray like this

Product 1
3 days later
Product 2
3 days later
Product 3

Make sure you are using different methods each time because they will breed immunities as i said above trimming your plants up a bit so there is less foliage helps a bit as well

Have you tried azamax/neem mix with a drop of dawn .....that's my go to mix depending how bad the infestation is
all god prodcuts, that don't work unless you catch them super early.

how many times has my heart sank, when I saw white spots but them rubbed them off, with a sigh of relief its just water spots or dust.

Hate those little basterds ...I personally do a lot of preventative measures to keep them at bay il alternate between those products but as soon as I see even the smallest sign of them I do the mix mentioned above with great results ...however that's at first signs ...after a bad year with those I realize an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure .......good luck

Mites are the damn Borg. You can't do much that late into flower. Just chalk it up because if you grow at some point you'll get mites.

NNOOOO sorry for your plants!

Just some advice for future reference, not sure what your set up is like but a good IPM kit (integrated pest management)

Aloe vera 200x power, Agsil16h, Ahisma Neem oil, Dr Bronners Hemp soap and or mint.

Extra precaution and great to have: Organic essential oils: tea tree, lavender, lemon grass, eucalyptus, rosemary, cinnamon leaf oil. Aroma diffuser

The IPM kit is great for prevention when you apply and stay on top of things. Also having a healthy plant and can control the environment conditions.
