Any input is appreciated.
I found these buggers on my plants today.
I’m in week 5 of flower. :-/

Captain Jack’s Deadbug. Get the concentrate for the spray. I spray the plant every day for a few days if I discover bugs. Wait a few days and do it again. Then I go to spraying every week. You can use it all through flower.

I use Bonide insecticidal soap. Spray tops and bottoms at night. Make sure you provide some strong air circulation in the morning.

Check that. It has citrus. You may want to wait for the CJDB…

What would @Hellraiser do?

Looks like spider mites and eggs. I’d nuke it from orbit, only way to be sure.
First I would defol any leaves that don’t really need to be there - more leaves, more places for them to hide, then spray the plants like crazy (get under leaves as well) with the Capt Jacks Deadbug and repeat every couple/few days for at least a couple/few weeks, also spray tent floors, under pots and trays and all around the tent edges and crevices, anywhere that they can hide. Even if you can’t kill all of them, can easily keep their numbers way down and get to harvest.

Defoliation complete. Just waiting on the lights to go out to drench everything in the tent.
I would do all fan leaves, and look closely at the other’s, if there’s mites or egg, cut out. Just my 2 cents. Like @Hellraiser said nuke them they are very difficult to get rid of.

If your using soil don’t forget to spray the soil too. That’s where they like to hide.
Since I’ve went to all hydroponic, and stopped bring plants in from the outside haven’t seen any.
And a small bug zapper in the tent.

I drenched the plants and the majority of the tent just after lights out with Captain Jacks Deadbug. I’m going to hit it again tomorrow.
And probably a 3rd time too.
After this harvest the tent will get a good scrub.
Has anyone ever used a fogger for IPM? I was reading that a fogger is superior to any sprayer and most products can be mixed for a fogger?

If there is a way to purchase soybean oil and mix that with the stuff u spray. Something with soybean oil and bugs just don’t mesh well not sure if it burns them up from the oil coating on them or what. Dr zymes is supposed to work super well also

Here is some advice I received from a cool grower. I also have a bengal fogger in my wally world cart - another grower recommended, but I cannot find the post.

“hope this might help you with your spider mites.
1 Lower temps in your grow space. Mites like higher temps
2 Add more fans to your grow. This will irritate them
3 take your plants outside for an alcohol wash, mites like to hide on the underbelly of your leaves.( 1 cup of alcohol for every 30 oz of water)
4 start a IPM rotation of at least 2 of these. Azamax, Spinosad, Essentria ic3, and rosemary. Apply 15 minutes before lights off”
