Hello. You can try Hydrogen Peroxide and water. Dilute to 1% mix in some dish soap and test on a leaf you can go higher % but test on a leaf first. 50% water 50% Isopropanol alcohol with some dish soap to kill them. Test first. You can add hot peppers to the mix. But test first. Don't let it get on the roots. Your plant will look drunk. Put eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and put it on and around the plant . Here are some trick I use. Chuck.

Tricky when its in flower. Do things mites hate. keep humidity a bit higher, 45% create air moment, fans spray them with soap/dish detergent that can be easily rinsed off with water in the shower after. can purchase predatory mites that will eat the broad mites as well. you will not eradicate them fully. just control their population from exploding and fully destroying your crop. Eggs will fall off and hide in the soil and they will try and move to other plants. so after this is all done you need to "nuke" your grow room with an Miticide/Acaricide. Your soil will need a bake to prevent them from coming back if you plan on recycling that medium. Or just toss it in the garden bed. Best of luck

in flo is really really hard to kill them without compromising the flavour, the saftest way to kill them without chemicals is to use 12200ppm of Co2 inside the tent for 1h and repeat 5 days later, but please it could EASY kill you in the process. other way is to use predators californicus or persimilis. In veg state you've multiple options, potasa soap+neem (you can add d-limonene to this), silica, sulfur (sublimated or foliar spray be careful with humidity and temp to avoid burn leaves) piretrines (it will only affect to adult population) and maybe there are more options but I cant remember

A little dawn soap mixed in water for a quick treatment. Other stuff you can get but this works great. Spray underneath leaves then the tops, so at lights out. Mites directly sprayed will smother and repeat for the eggs as necessary
