Spray them with cold water, it'll drown most of the spider mites. After a few days to a week they should be gone. During which time you should lift your lights a bit to avoid droplets causing lens burn.

Don't water them in the dark. Lack of light and excess moisture leads to bad things growing, like bud rot.

Water will slow down mites development, even w/out soap? And Water will not make troubles with bud growth?

It pretty much a losing battle. Though at the 1/2 way mark, you got a chance.

bug bomb (prethium @4%) then again a week later (they lay eggs, and not all fuck at the same time. Synchronized spidermite fucking come soon to the next Olympics )

Once the harvest is done, NOW you got work.
Bomb the room.
Clean the room
Repaint the room
Spray down room

(neem is more a deterant then a killer)
Mites like the lower humidity and moderate temps we like to flower in.

Best of luck. the little buggers are buggers.

I've also found it difficult to 'spray/wipe down' every leaf, since a bushy plant its near impossible or an all day affair per plant. Foggers, baby, foggers. (with a normal areosole nozzle installed)

I'll spray them fckn soapy water until harvest... I I was not in Flower, I would ahve soak the whole plant into warm water+soap for about 10min and rince under shower... THIS works REALLY fine to kick these little bitches ass... I'll not grow anymore for few years cuz We plan to have a baby and the grow room is the baby bedroom ... So it's my last grow for years and these spidermites are not at a good timing!!!

I've read that they dislike humidity and it slow the breeding process of these mites... If you spray every day twice... it could help you keep these bastard in low population until harvest w/out using chem stuuf to kill too when smoking...
