You can always try changing the ph of your leaves first, that will ”sour” the deal for most bugs..
keep switching things up when it comes to your treatments, mites become immune really fast and it’s the cycle you need to concentrate on, not just the bug.
Their eggs ( tiny clear spheres) won’t be affected by the spray and multiple treatments will most likely be needed(cycles) so being aware is a major first step in your fight!
Keep on them every 3 days by starting at the soil and working your way up the stem and bottoms of the leaves all the way to the top of the plant but leave the tops of the leaf dry for now.. wait a few minutes, the mites will try to find a better ( dry) place to be. Now we hit the tops and turn the fans on high. Make it windy in there, if the leaves are rustling around, the bugs have it much harder to “establish”.
The plan is to make it too uncomfortable for them to stick around.
I won’t promote any products, but the active ingredient your most likely looking for is Pyrethrin.
Hope at least some of this helps!
good luck!

Damn! That's a shame! How far along are the flowers? There's only one thing I found to knock them down. (Besides Fire of Hell)
The ground is infected most likely. I'll have to look up the name. I've said it many times on the forum but I'm old and mind doesn't focus like before. But it's all still up there in the brain somewhere. lol It's not Spinocide, it's just fatty lypoids or something.
Here it is

I treat them up to flip a couple times in veg just to be on the safe side.
I look at the leaf stem and look for "chew marks" if my leaves look fine. You will see a trail. Any eating insect will leave a trail, but the Broad Mite is a weapon of "stealth". They send out a couple "breeders" that go on point for recon and mark a trail of eggs directly to the tops, for the "REST" of them!
They don't take their time either,
leaving tiny bite marks, shit balls and egg or a "seed" shape, not round like spider mites. When the "trail eggs" hatch, those move out the leaflets underneath and eat the membrane and leave the top layers like a greenhouse and lay eggs and it makes a "raised" area on the top of the leaf.
They were my "arch enemy" for a couple years.
In the end, I lost.
I restarted from scratch.
But the Avid gives you a fighting chance.
Kills shit 99% dead, even Broad Mites.
There's always survivors that evolve to go on.

One thing I saw that seemed promising, but not really viable for the home grower, was the ?ionized? water. Don't remember the nomenclature off-hand, but it's a machine that you can use to dial in the pH of your water. You can make really high or really low pH water for certains purposes from idustrial strength cleaning to pesticides.

Because it's just water the pH normalizes in no time, but the initial blast does the damage to the wildlife. Not the same as chemically adjusting your water though.

I remember hoping that it caught on and the price went down. If it doesn't then maybe it was all hype LOL.
