My plants are between 2-3 weeks each from being done flowering and I just got more soil to add for the last two weeks or so to make them feel nice and cozy before the chop and the new soil brought in fucking mites to my grow so I am wondering if there is anything I can do I'm about 7 weeks into flowering....otherwise should I just harvest now?

you can try neem oil now if you do it ASAP

or make an organic pesticide

but premature cultivation is better than having bugs in your buds

well which is the best thing for me to do in your opinion I dont have any neem oil available to me right now and what would be a good organic pesticide that i could make

i made my organic pesticide by mixing minced garlic, baking soda and a few drops of soap with hot water. my veggie garden had an infestation of mexican bean beetles; i aplied this mixture all over the garden(even directly on the bugs) many times and it only slowed the infestation if anything

do you have an indica or sativa strain and how do your trichs look? premature cultivation might be your only bet

I have 16 plants in the room with them with only about one true sativa but most are hybrids showing mostly indica qualities and when I looked at which plants they were on they particularly like sharksbreath but they are on my g13haze, yumbolt47 and a couple others. They seem to stay away from most of them but I dont know how long thats going to last because i am coming up on 5 days so I think there is going to be more soon. My trichs when I looked last was probably about 5% amber 65%clear and about 30% cloudy. My earliest plants have about 9 days from harvest and the longest is the g13 which has another 3-4 weeks probably and all the other strains are 9 week strains. I think I might try to neem some of the plants but I just want to do whatever is going to salvage the taste and integrity of my current nugs. I read last night on another website that they generally stay away from parts of the plant with a lot of resin because it causes their mouth to be stuck shut. I really dont want these fucking little spider looking shits destroying my girls.

I have been hit many times by mites. This close to harvest I would suggest taking ea plant and giving them a good wash in fresh water completely submerged in the tub and drain between each plant. Rain is a natural control. Water alone wont hurt your tops. You will loose too much weight if you cut now. Slow down the infestation as best as possible till harvest. On veg stage plants using endall every 3 days for 3 applications should get ride of them. Also go get some cucumeris (predator mites) They have worked well for me. Cost is about $45.00 for 20,000.
Good luck

DO NOT SOAK YOUR BUDS THAT IS RETARDED. IF YOU WANT HELP, LISTEN TO ME OR FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING WRONG.
bro you need to get a pyrythrum based pesticide. it is derived from plants like crysanthemums and such(obviously ones that mites dont like) and they come in these little bombs that look like tiny flares. The important thing is that pyrythrum is not a man made chemical, it is like neem oil except it actually works. you open that fucker up in your room and close the door. it will kill any mites in there. it will kill all of them. then, water with nothing but water until you are done (which should only be a week right?) and if thre are any webs stuck on the buds, Use a really broad, blue tape (the kind painters use) to lightly press it to the nugs and it will pull off all that crap. kinda like a lint remover. best of luck :) also, after the bomb? a Mix of a few tablespoons of garlic oil in with water in a spray bottle will keep the fuckers from coming back till your done. just remember to flush good with water for 3 or 4 days after, probably the 3 or 4 days before you pluck.
california tricks ;)BUT READ THE DIRECTIONS! Do it when all the electricity is off in the room, turn it off from the ballasts, because it is a mist and could cause a short and fuck your shit up. i seen it happen. so turn off all the lights, do it during ladies night time, and follow what i said. it should save yur buds if it isnt too late

Thanks for all the responses I read about the pyrythum bombs and everywhere I read about it there were complaints of bad taste after so I ordered 1500 lady bugs to eliminate my problem. but really thanks
