MITES deep into flower

Growing organically indoors in soil at least 5 weeks into flower literally one day to another and there are mites everywhere. What's the safest way to deal with them when the plants are flowering?

Thanks, yeah I've read through a couple threads since i posted but when something this horribly tragic happens you panic lol. Think I caught them in time but it's so frustrating when other than this the plants are perfect with gorgeous buds.

I sprayed one year (ORGANIC) The flowers turned brownish green.

Use a shop vac with a plastic pepsi bottle taped to it with the bottom cut off.
You might have to vacuum 2 or 3x a day.

I also recommend an atomizer is you go with mighty wash.

haz any of you guys used Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew on flowers? Its one of those mostly water products.
I was told you can spray day of harvest. It wont brown anything if done at 5am.

several products like this popping up. what the label doesn't say is its good for things like tomatoes and shit the day before harvest because we can clean those off, try that with bud.
like the guy up above said, an atomist OR an airless paint sprayer(which is my favorite) goes a long long way no matter what you're spraying. But def do the research before you spray ANYTHING on something near harvest.

I just picked up a sample from the hydro store I exclusively shop at. It appears to be made by local start-up company. I'll give it a go and if it works and works well then they have my support.It's called wizard brew.

dbkick, I just for the first time found mites (Like just now) I grow for cancer and aids patients but they also don't want brown flowers.

I picked up this http://thebugblaster.com/ and it makes a hose 900 PSI water jet to knock out the bugs and dislodge the egg sacks. It also effects and devastates all life stages of soft body insects.. I been using that for chemical free spray but Im going to try the Safer tomorrow followed by bug blaster once at day in the AM and a 3 day rotation of Safer II for a total of 9 applications (3 Safer and 3 bug blaster)

One thing that always freaked me out is giving cancer patients herbs with any kind of chems.

Also the Atomizer is king #1 best applicator.

I generally just use an atomist to apply whatever spray I'm using and then just rinse with a garden hose mist head, outdoors that device would be great.
