I've never had spider mites, but have heard good things about predatory mites:

Spider mites are bad news man, get those things taken care of quick before they take over your garden. Go to your local hydro store..

if you don't have a lot of pistils already, i'd go ahead and spray with some sort of insecticide. put a fan on them to help speed up the drying process. if you do have a lot of pistils, you could use as suggested. i think ladybugs may help. i'd def use the no pests strips along with whatever you decide to use.

I ran into the same problem first couple weeks of flower I picked up organicide spray its a organic incecticide fungicide. My plants loved it and i knocked out the mites over 3 applications 3 days apart. The main ingredient in organicide is edibl fish oil s its actually feeding your plant N. Hope this helps out

DUDE! go get some neem oil and coco wet and add very generously the underside of the plants leaves. the oil has direction on the back on how to mix an apply. neem oil works great! you should apply the solution to the leaves after the plant is atleast a month old. hope that helps!

Ladybugs hunt spider mites and other pests, they're one of your best options that late into flowering. They don't stray farm from the plants, either. Ladybugs or no find some alternative to pesticide, you'll regret it later.

Wal mart is the only store I have around I have to kill these things so if I go with the no strips how long could I leave them in there is really not that many pistils
