Neem is not that great on mites. also most neem on the market is missing the active ingredient in it that does kill or mess up the bugs. Its also not great for humans. so ideally don't use it on anything you plan on ingesting. For mites you have to go nuclear if in veg. in flower its harder. In veg anything that has Permethrin or something like it. this is most effect on mites and many bugs. In flower you don't have many options without contaminating the buds with pesticide chemicals. You can also use beneficial predators to keep mites in line and reduce their numbers. their are a few who eat them, I only know of one that will go onto the webs and eat them. One note when using predators, you can not use other topical pesticides as it will ill them. In water additives like BTi will not harm them as the predators do not go into the soil. One way to help knock population down is to spray the plant outside with simple soap and water and then power spray them off without hurting the leaves/plant. In mid flower this is not ideal but beginning of flower or veg is fine. After your grow is done, toss out any medium or sterilize it to kill off any mites/eggs that might be hiding/fallen off into the soil then bleach the tent. Treat any house plants as well if indoors and treat neighboring plants outdoors as they might just jump ship to the closest option.
