this will sound ridiculous, but it's old-school gardening knowledge not specific to ganja growing. make a mixture of a shitload of hot sauce or red pepper flakes or whatever and water, then mist it over the plants. the active ingredient in spicy food is actually a poison, and besides that it's extremely unpleasant for pretty much every organism except humans and plants
it's not so good for the flowering cycle though; if you don't rinse properly the last few weeks before harvest your bud will taste like pizza.

any strong herb is unpleasant for insect pests, spicy peppers even more so. you mist the mixture over your stems and leaves with a standard spray bottle

well i have tried the spices thing and it did not work that great, just made the plants smell herby.
i use neem oil, it does not kill instantly but it will stop them from breeding and suffocate the eggs, if the leaf is infected more then 50 percent i cut those off and discard in bleach or smash it, i also tend to smash the lil boogers with my forefingers. i spray neem when i have them every few days untill they are gone. neem is best to use before you get them to prevent them in the 1st place, plus its organic

I agree with this plan of action. Sometimes the oil can kill the little bugs by suffocating them just like the eggs. Routinely spray them down. Like twice a week for now. Repetition is key.
Also sometimes the oil won't mix with water so you need soap. I like martha stewarts plant (based) soap.

angry little bitch aint' ya. You're lucky you had any help at all .....if you were a real grower you would've done research like all of the other growers here. Somebody spray him with some hot pepper mix.hey you fucking prick the shit you told me to do fucked up my plant and its dying
thank you piece of shit
dude you're on the internet ....you have all the info you could ask for on this forum and on any browser. DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF NEXT TIME. stay off the boards if you can't handle the trials and tribulations of growing.

Those spider mites still came from somewhere close. Make sure to get the neem oil from the local hardware store (homedepot/lowes/ace) and soap if it doesn't have a demulsifier already in it(it will explain in the instruction on the label). Spraying them down weekly before any problems appear will prevent soo many problems from appearing. It's the week you decide to stop taking preventative measure by spraying, when the next infestation will occur... it's like moore's law or something... Good luck with the next one, although I'm sure your spidermite infested-pepper burned baby could survive through this. Just with a little TLC and foliar attention. Spraying the leaves now with just plain water might help clean those clogged pored, but it might just be easier for you to start again.
