Spidermites/41 days flowering/Azamax Pic

I'm 41 days in to flowering and found spidermites in my veg room. Seems to be mostly in there on a couple of strains with other strains not affected. Checked the flower room tonight and saw spidermite damage on few of the leaves along with a few mites. Nothing very serious but I don't want it to get out of control. I'm planning on using Azamax because it is organic and can be used up to 1 week before harvesting. I removed most if not all of the leaves that I saw that had mites and damage. I know they are still there lurking around so my question is... Should I spray just the leaves both top and bottom and try to avoid the flowers or spray everything including the flowers? I have somewhere between 22-29 more days to go so I'm really not worried about it still being around come harvest time.

Any advise based on previous experience would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Here is the pic enjoy...

Are you running co2? I would spray under and ontop the leaves, try not to get the flowers, you'll never completely get rid of them by the time your finished flowering. Dr. Doom's fogger also works and is safe while in flower.
 
Fantastic looking plants there.

What the hell is wrong with mother nature giving us all that gorgeous herb to toke on yet at the same time creating these little bastard spidermites to f*ck it all up?

Anyhow, I had them in veg, I used a product called Plant Vitality Plus+, worked brillianty and you only need one spray, it also has something in it to help the plant recover from any stress caused by the mites. So, one spray and they were gone, I have read you can use it up to harvest. Bought it at Ebay at £9.00 for 50ml. Not sure if they sell it in the U.S though.

Good luck.

No C02. Thanks for the replies. I think Ladybugs are out of the question at the moment because I'm going to be moving garden in about 3 weeks. I'll have to check in to the Dr. Doom Fogger. How does that effect humans etc.? My tent is a homemade 10 x 3 1/2 split in the middle between my veg and flower.

Thanks Splendid. I'll have to see if they have that at my local hydro store. Is it organic?
 
It's not organic and I would get other advice on whether to use at this stage of flowering to be safe although I know many hydro shops claim you can use it 6 hours prior to harvest but still, the only thing I can say is that it really does work and they've not been back, killed all the larvae.
