How to deal with spider mites.

[Grayshan]

I tried some neem oil and thought about just using a low
Flowing hose and rubbing off the mites with my other hand. Is there a point to just remove the heavily infested leaves or plants, or are there any other ways to get rid of these spider mites? Thanks for any ideas.

That's a pretty heavy infestation. I wouldn't recommend using neem any more that far into flower. Once again I'll push this product - https://www.amazon.com/Bio-Pesticide-All-Natural-Insecticide-Pesticide-Better-Insects-Non-Phytotoxic/dp/B07PH46H8K/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3MGK255QZ9BKG&keywords=agromagen+growsafe&qid=1694994622&sprefix=agromagen+growsafe,aps,183&sr=8-2

Agromagen Growsafe Biopesticide. 100% organic/OMRI certified, won't burn your plants like neem, won't leave nasty smell/residue like neem (does have a slight "deep fryer" smell when you initially spray it, but this goes away after a day or two)

Works so well that I've been recommending it to everyone. One spray will eliminate 99% of your infestation, 2 sprays will eliminate 100% and 3 sprays will definitely make sure they never come back (for the season)

It's a little pricey but it works extremely well and imo worth every penny! Even kills eggs. Safe to use from clone through harvest.

Make sure you spray the entire plant very well, taking special care to spray UNDER the leaves very well, as this is where spider mites lay their eggs and spend most of their lives!

Also, this stuff works great for prevention of mold in your buds!

AgroMagen GrowSafe worked for me recently. I only had to spray twice. I was impressed. I've tried many other things, and this worked best.

I'm really glad that worked out for you. I knew it would, but it's always nice to have reassurance.

It pains me to see people struggling with spider mites or bugs in general, when such an effective, simple solution exists. No more harsh chemicals needed. Eventually, I am going to try to make this stuff at home. The ingredients are very simple, it's just a matter of figuring out the exact recipe. If I get it figured out and it's just as effective as the store-bought, I'll definitely share my findings.
