Hello, So you're pretty far into flowering so treatment is limited. You could do an alcohol/water spray,and beef up airflow immensely! After you harvest you could do the bud bath...it'll wash off anything mites, pm. You can find the Cervantes video on it, 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a tub of water. But for next time, buy a product called green clean(agricultural) and that will slay those mites, especially if you add neem to it, you'll be mite and other problem free for 1-2 months easy. I've never gotten overly worked up over bugs because of outdoor grows....so I'm sure you'll still have some nice buds.✌️

Pump up sprayer with a wand and blast the under side of the leave with dawn soap and water. Smothers the little buggers. Repeat every few days for 2 weeks, to get any eggs hatching, they'll be gone

You can use a spray bottle and thoroughly saturate the plant with your a peroxide mixture. 2 Tablespoons of peroxide in a gallon of water will kill them and won’t harm the buds. Be sure to spray the bottoms of the leaves. You can even simply hose off the plant with the garden hose too but that doesn’t kill them. Washing at harvest is easy: 5 gallons of water and a cup of peroxide, immerse and soak the cut branches for 5 or 6 minutes and rinse with the garden hose. Found this too.
