Lots of options from organic neem oil but you have to wash you buds when you harvest to get rid of neem taste. Predatory bugs will help a lot, ladybugs for example. You can also get a sachet of larvae that hatches and devours the mites. Again, you would have to wash your buds after harvest(before you dry). The other option and I still think the best, using your vacuum cleaner hose. I can hear you laughing but, try it. Suck those fuckers off, doesn't damage buds or plant. No residue left over to be washed off....I would clean you hose attachment first. Maybe use a small brush to make sure you get all the larvae too. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

Thx BraveHeartGenetics - Genius solution. Check my diary ... video in your honor. I would leave up for more answers but 2bhon - looked at them all elsewhere - neem is notoriously difficult (nearly killed my fatsia japonica - has v similar leaf structure to cannabis) - don't want to use detergent. The bio control firm I use doesn't have ladybugs at this time of year and introducing Phytoseiulus persimilis mites to eat mites is cool but you still got mites on your bud, but I could get this. I could also get mite traps. But Nothing beats sucking those fuckers off 👊😊 Then I will eyeball for larvae and hopefully happy daze peace n love 😎

A little dawn soap mixed in water and spray the undersides and top of leaves. Kills on contact. Repeat to kill hatching eggs every few days until gone.
