Mites!!! 3 weeks to harvest... Please help!!

I noticed a minor mite infestation a few weeks into flower but have been controlling them with liquid lady bug and blasting with soap water in dark period.

However just today i noticed a huge infestation on 4 of my plants in the back corner, its pretty bad with webs covering most of the colas.

I only have 12 plants under 3 1k lights, the plants are pretty big and i was expecting to yeild about 3lbs.

Should i throw out the plants with the major infestation and try to save the other 8 plants? Or is it too late and the mights have prob already spreaded so i should just try to control them as best as possible?

My brain says i should throw out the 4 plants with the bad infestation but im 3 weeks from harvest the buds already look great!

Are the buds salvageable once i cut them down if they have webs can i rinse them off and still smoke them?

I have avoided using any harsh chemical pesticides so that my buds can be enjoyed by patients but at this point im regretting that decision! Please help!!!

Hose your plants that are in flower with water every day. The mites get washed off the plant. make sure you have good air flow.
If you can keep cooler temps 50's- 60's it will slow down the mites.
Don't chop that plant let her finish. If you spray with water everyday you won't have any infestations

Tip-
Mites like warm temps. Put a plant stake next to the shoot of your plant. Make sure the stake is taller than the plant. Alot of the mites will crawl up the stake closer to the lights, and closer to warmer temperatures. You can put something sticky. like sticky mouse traps or fly traps. the mites get stuck, and die.

Good Luck on your Grow.

Shop Vac the webs and sale that shit .

Mighty wash , rinse the following day and repeat as needed.

There is a new product on the market called Nuke Em.........it's easy to find on the net. It's basically 5% citric acid which is sprayed on everything, including buds. It will kill your mites quickly and is safe, safe and safe to use anytime. Made by Flying Skull.

Actually potassium sorbate is the active ingredient in nuke em. Their ad talks shit on mighty wash and I just dont agree with that kind of marketing practices. Ive got a bottle of each though.

Buy some ladybugs!

hmm I think you mite have a problem friend

Ladybugs or mighty wash. I have used mighty wash before harvest and it was fine it didn't affect the smoke.
