Spiders camping in my tent.

I have a home made tent in my unfinnished basement. I knew there was a chance of this happening.
A spider egg sack (maybe multiple) hatched somewhere amongst my plants. My plants are on their second week of 12/12. The spiders are spinning webs all over the tops of my plants. They are so small and so many that they look like a weird brown covering. Looks similar to the covering seen on the new growth of evergreen branches.

Does anyone have any organic tips for getting rid of these guys?

I think you are screwed. I would take some clones off the bottom away from the webs and spray the shit out of them and try for a clean harvest next time around.

Dude, that shit is toxic af. The EPA states that it should never be used around food processing.

Seriously, try yagoogling things before recommending poison to people.

Hmm do you have a link? thanks for the info. I wonder why they sell them to the food service industry.

If you got time put them back into veg and treat the plants along with cleaning the room.

I'd hate to throw them into flower with mites, you won't really get rid of them without fucking up the flowers but if you go back to veg, they are pretty easy to deal with & eradicate within a week or two. You can slow them down in flower, but it will also slow your plants down too.

If you dont have time or it wasn't a clone, trash it, clean the room & start over.

Sounds bad. You're going to need multiple miticide's to eradicate. They become immune to sprays quick, gotta keep rotating what you spray.

Hello mac.
Would you recommend spraying the plants with neem oil, the first week, and the 2nd week spray with other miticide, like nite nite spider mite, etc ?
My last crop was destroyed by these mites. I don't want to make the same mistake again
Cheers.

You want to spray about every three days to eradicate mites. If you go too long in between sprays, you're just giving them enough time to reproduce. Just keep killing the young with the adults. I really like Smite, I also like mite massacre, and green clean. Those three rotated out like I explained have gotten rid of mites for me. The smite isn't cheap, just so you know, but even their small bottle will make you 2 gallons of spray. That should go pretty far if you only have a handful of plants.
