LMFAO, SPIDERMITES: the bane of marijuana growers. remedies are organic; soaps and oils. natural; preditormites and other buggies like ladybugs. chemical; avid, floramite are 2 that are called systemics - they are sprayed on the plant and enter to mix with the plant juices thus killing the mites over time. avid has a life span of 6 weeks and floramite is 3 weeks - after this amount of time the chemical will just flush out of the plant. then there are other chemicals that you apply to the soil like skank which lasts for around 4 weeks. NOTE - A MYTH about chemicals; you dont smoke it, they do leave the plant just like fertilysers, that is why good growers FLUSH for 2 weeks at the end of the flower cycle.
this is the truth from some1 who has tried all the remedies. getting rid of the mites on the plant is just half the battle. after you crop off; you must disinfect your whole room; under tables, in cracks, all 6 flat surfaces. pots and lights - use a bleach solution and mop, wipe and spray. then use a good chemical like avid and spray again - then maybe, just maybe your rid of them.
MITICIDES OR ACARICIDES are not insecticides; they are a type of pesticide just like insecticides are. insecticide sprays and bombs are a total waste of money and time in battling spidermites.
oils like NEEM OIL do work but you have to use it every 4 - 8 days; with 50 plants with 3 weeks of veg and 8 weeks of flower; thats 500 washings of a potted plant at a minimum. and you have to do underside of each leaf and inner stems as well as the outer material.
