Spider mites with one week to go to harvest

Troubleshooting Pests

Ugh. I’m in the same boat. Just found them yesterday. I haven’t sprayed with Spinosad because we’re only 10 days away from chopping. Thoughts? Damage is minimal but what should be done at this point?
I also found a collection of Thrips on my clones and mothers. Those got sprayed heavy and will get another shower in 5 days.

I’m more concerned with the flowering plants and how close we are to harvest. Even post-harvest, how do we get rid of these bastards??

I used Captain Jacks Deadbug and they appear to be gone. I’m harvesting on the 15th or 16th and plan on washing the buds. Going to do the clean with peroxide mixed with water, then lemon baking soda mixed with waster, then a clean water rinse.

My good friend’s best friend has a good-sized commercial operation in Boulder and he uses assassin bugs

Got rid of them with 5 applications of Spinosad and 1 of Canntrol.
