Spider Mite found post harvest and after wash

just for anyone looking for help identifying the infamous two spotted spider mite – here’s one straggler I found on a bud that I harvested this morning. After harvest, it spent about 30 minutes submerged in a 5-gallon bucket with about 16oz of 3% peroxide. After the peroxide it went into another bucket with baking soda and lemon juice mixed with water for maybe a minute, then a good rinse in clean water. hung to dry for a few hours, and grabbed a sample to look at under the microscope. if there’s one, I’ll bet there’s a lot more…

I think next time, I may do a more aggressive rinse.
