50/50 water alcohol in a sprayer like all sprays you spray at lights off you'll want to spray three times about three days apart. The alcohol doesn't kill the eggs is the reason for the three times so spray even if you don't see anymore
edit = make sure you turn your fans back on about 10 minutes after spraying and shake any excess moisture from buds these things are to dry everything because the risk of mold is always there when you spray especially during flower

I’d take an avocado take out the pit enjoy the meat then take the leftover peel break it in half stick the inside of the peel facing up place both pieces touching opposite sides of the base of the stalk setting them on the top of the soil within 24 hours every spider mite within range should be swarming those peels remove and rinse this is how I get rid of excess mites in my worm bin ive never had mites on my plants though but this was the plan I thought of awhile back to try myself if I ever did

PLreef i know Cucumeris are pretty cheap and those are good for spider mites. For prevention they recommend the sachets that slow real ease them and if you have them already it’s best to buy the bottles for a quick release. Go to kisorganics on YouTube and listen to the podcast with the “bug lady†she has a lot of info on beneficial insects. I would recommend you grab white paper and put it under the canopy and shake the shit out of the plant so the mites fall in your paper and you can see if it’s a bad infestation or not so bad. Then I believe they don’t like wind so keep a fan blowing on the leafs harder than usual so they hopefully won’t be able to stay on the leafs. I would also sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the soil before shaking the plant or even after so what ever falls gets cut with the powder glass. Hope that helps. On the insectary sites it should say what predator mites works for spider mites. Check out Arbico

I don't know if this stuff works but it says it's for spider mites. Also lost coast or captain Jack's I've heard works. I would go with the alcohol but I understand being sceptical

I have used 91 ISO 50/50 with water, any brand spinosad gets the same results, though the spinosad's are said safe to harvest, I use the ISO on flowers as the alcohol evaporates really fast leaving only water (which needs to come off fast). Another I have read about is azamax (SP?) which as I read kills the eggs too.

Here's a few pictures of these little assholes. I checked leaves from all the other plants and can't find any evidence of them. They "seem" to be contained to just one plant. I increased the fans in the tent and im gonna head out and pick up some iso this am.
