Hey,
I just found a batch of spider mites on a patch that's 1-2 weeks from harvest. I'm not sure if they've gone to larvae yet.
If I'm unwilling to use a chemical spray in this final week, are there any options to salvage what's there? Are the buds any good if mites have been spotted? (i.e. handpicking bugs after harvest?) This is a new problem and I'm unsure about how much damage has been done, but I've never encountered the mites before.
I didn't see any other information about mites and outdoor grows, so here's my question: will bringing the infected plants into my space be my ruination? Will transporting them risk the non-infected batch I've got that is in proximity? I did read that the bugs can hibernate and get into all sorts of spaces. My place is clean, should I keep any infected product out? Vacuuming isn't an option for this situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to help salvage this nasty situation.
