Hey there. So, I noticed two spotted spider mites in my garden, two days ago. The level of infestation is, I would say, low- maybe on 1/4- 1/3 of plants and on the leaves that are affected, mostly lower leaves, about 5-10 mites per leaf, on the worst leaves. I've been taking the leaves off and throwing them in a bucket filled with 99% alcohol. No webbing at all. I bought Mighty Wash and Green Cleaner. I used the mighty wash on the worst plants only, 2 days ago, only on the undersides of leaves and sprayed it off yesterday. I really don't want to spray anything at all though. But I am just curious, can their population explode in the next 10 days and cause webbing and stuff, and still ruin the crop? Should I just ride it out and pick off worst looking leaves? Basically, my question is, should I potentially sacrifice the taste by spraying what I have deemed to be the safest products for this late in flower, or should I do nothing besides take leaves off? Also could do the 50/50 iso alcohol spray... Anyway, thanks for reading, I should have done more preventative stuff early in the cycle, I now realize. This sucks :(
