Best home treatment for beginning stages of spider mites??

Yes, you can cut off the bad parts.

Thanks amigo, i thought why leave them there, i should post a pic of the affected buds and the ones that aren't lol.

Healthy bud and damaged bud, can see the mites in the buds very happy i chopped them off, their dead but yeah wasn't nice chopping off so much.

30 days into flower.

Luckily the other 2 haven't been touched.

Oh forget to mention, the plant affected had the least amount of air flow over it, i noticed the fan had turned on the pole so the spidermites had no trouble climbing over them all. I've run the tent colder than usual so they don't come back and increased air flow, hard lesson learnt have never had mites before.

I made the mistake of walking into the tent after being outside near an outdoor plant, brain fade.

It's not spider mites. There are no webs.
Looks more like Thrips. Spray all your plants with the Lost Coast.

Hello - first time grower - I have 2 month old plants where I've spotted a few spider mites and eggs (only some leaves are mildly affected) but I understand one has to act fast. Someone kindly suggested lost coast plant therapy but it's expensive and not being delivered for at least a week or two. I've sprayed neem oil solution on my male plants just to see how it does (so far so good, but I'm told it can clog pores). Any ideas on a quick home remedy to hold off until a proper solution comes in the mail? I also have Diotomaceous earth in my pantry. would that work? Bronner's peppermint soap coming tomorrow... Would love some input on what to do pronto...

You only get webs when they are right out of control. You can have lots of spider mites without webs, if you wait until you see webs before a diagnosis of mites ......you is fked......they are past stoppable at that point.
