URGENT HELP: SPIDER MITES 6 WEEKS INTO FLOWER
The only thing that is safe to use right now apart from organics is pure pyrethrin, NO ACTIVATORS!!! Hot Shot 'Kitchen Fogger' is one, and check the labelling but Doktor Doom also makes a PBO-free Pyr spray. Do it NOW if you are going to do it at all, and don't do it if you are under weak (read=flourescent) lighting because Pyr breaks down into nontoxic compounds in the presence of VERY INTENSE light.
You can also mist with SMC coriander oil or Dr. Dooright orange oil. But avoid spraying anything on the buds.
This is my strong recommendation:
Add fans and drop your temps into the low 70s max. COLD and WIND keep mite populations down.
After harvest, clean up like Tex says. Set off a pair of bug bombs as well, 2-3 days apart. In the future, keep your temps from climbing above 82'F and keep constant air movement.
