Drive by,, and it's been along time tooo.. so I got to read back abit,,, but;;;
spider mites?. I like the safers and green cleaner. seems to work.. the safers will actually clean the stomata/pores on the leaf and leave then nice and soft and healthy. Soak it with safers at 1/2 oz per quart. One thing you don't want to do is always spray the same shit.. sider mites build up tolerances and you can make borg into 'super borg'.
But you can spray plants down with the safers,, and rinse off with tap 15-20 minutes later and your plants will love the shower... And you can wash them bugs right outta your hair...
And I like the green cleaner or even azamax for spider mites to use every other spraying to mix it up.. Azamax is a cold-pressed neem product and seems like a 'lighter' oil than plain neem. Any neem product with coat your plants with a oil and suffocate the bugs. But they only work on adult bugs.
So you have to spray at least three time over a week period. I go 4 times myself just to make sure...
Nothing worse than thinking''' you got them all,, only to find out 5 weeks into flower,,,,,, that you didn't and webs start to show up........
Be glad you don't have hemp mites... They are the bitch. Spider mites are easy in comparison.
But there isn't alot you can do to plants late in flower. I'll spray up till day 7 of flower if needed...... To many places for bugs to hide in buddage... Besides you don't want to taint your flowers with sprays of anything. They act like a sponge and soak up sprays keeping residual oils and no telling what they will do when you smoke that shit,,, besides tasting like shit. Defoliate abit of the plants you have in veg and then treat. Fewer leaves,, fewer places to hide...
Putting a clean plant in an infected flower room and thinking I'll keep them separated, is like an offering to the bugs.. Never works to try to keep them separated thinking they won't get infected.
Just always do the whole regiment, of three-four sprayings. even if you don't see any bugs anymore..
So you will need a couple sprays to keep in your cabinet. But to me, safer's is the mildest. But one nice thing about the green cleaner is it will also kill PM spores and seems to work on all pests and it's milder than the neem products..... But azamax use to be my go-to for spider mites and it works too.
GL with the bugs..
