be concerned of an infestation, I'm pretty sure you'll find mites in a large percentage of grows, I've settled out for extreme control, get a gallon of mighty wash and a good sprayer and have at it. I don't have to ask if you're a day , a week , a month from harvest, you can use it anytime.

although, I'm gonna give floramite and avid a try( I get tired of spraying) , these can only be used in veg or possibly early flower but people have said it keeps their plants bug free. The mighty wash is the safest most affective stuff other than poison I've found to kill mites and eggs.

yes, be very concerned about this. you can use many things in foliar spray, and after the spray you should hit them again with a heavy stream of water, just to kill any eggs or leftover mites.
heres what you can use for veg:
canola oil(tablespoon per gallon)
marigold flowers
diced garlic
neem oil
jalepeno peppers(boiled into water)
you can also use most of these on your top soil for aphids in your soil.
flower:
marigold flowers
garlic(early flower, i would give them a good rinse if your afraid the smell will be effected)
neem oil
always shake up the foliar spray so it mixes well, a heavy spray before and after would be good. make sure to hit the bottoms of leaves too, thats where they stay. they can also hide in your buds, in this case you need to give them a heavy spray.

you should check out mighty wash if you get a chance/need. you'll never utter the word neem/oil/poison again.

might check it out as long as its organic and not pricey. i grow marigolds so i dont have mites usually, im actually companion growing with them now. garlic is cheap as well, and canola is great as a wetting agent.

i think your supposed to boil them in water and use that water, thats how they extract what deters the bugs im pretty sure. cutting it up may help too, i highly suggest everything else too.
