Will 10 hrs of light make my plant stunted?

Hey friends.... I'm gonna be spraying my plant for spider mites today. From what i'm hearing is it has to be done at lights out so not to burn the leaves. Unfortunately that's at 5pm and my kids get home from school at 3pm. I'd like to spray and be done before they get home but that would mean doing it 2 hrs before lights out and my plant will only get 10 hrs of light for today. Will that fuck anything up?


Advise please.

Have you looked for an organic alternative? I'd be pretty cautious of what I spray on something I'm going to smoke dude.

I can't give you any recommendations myself as I grow indoor so I don't have this problem. I just wanted to put it out there that perhaps there's a non-chemical substance that can prevent them?

Pyrethrin is supposed to be organic. I'm not sure if that's true or not.

Pyrethrin is organic, so is cyanide!

What matters is how quickly the compounds break down. Neem oil won't do shit for spider mites. I'm having terrific luck using slow release dichlorvos, but can't say I know it works on all mites. I've used Mighty Wash with great success, I believe it is now disclosed that the active ingredient is pyrethrin based. The pyrethrin bombs break down very quickly, as does dichlorvos.

Back to the original question; there are guys on the forum who regularly run well under 12 hours of daylight in their bloom cycle. One runs just 8 hours. He says he gets great results and his plants finish a bit faster. Has lots of pics to prove it.

Food for thought.
