Don't use alcohol, this is likely to burn/kill your plant and have seen this exact thing happen (dead plant) to someone on this site who thought using alcohol would be a good idea.
Neem oil is the way to go.
Spinosad is banned in the States for use on commercial cannabis crops due to the dangers of the ingestion of residue, (according to the "Pest Control Products Act") and is under review as a safe product in Canada (according to "Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency").

That looks terrible. My friend had some red spider mites. We made a mix of water and vodka and blasted his plants. Not the nicest way to deal with them but it did kill the ones he had and stopped it. I've got the question up from when I asked it on my profile somewhere. But that in comparison to yours is nothing we found a few mites. That looks full on infestation. Growinggrannys advice would be the safer option. Cheaper one get some alcohol and get spraying.

You've got a terrible problem, don't you!! You need to grab some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad asap - spray everything (top, bottom of leaves, stem, branches) just before lights out.... get a handle on that quickly or you're going to lose your grow!
Good luck!

Why the twisting/wrinkled leaves?Why are the leaves curling/wrinkling/twisting?
The plant seems healthy over all, about 9 inches tall/4 weeks old. It looks as if the leaves are too close together causing it to wrinkle, but that also doesn't seem like a correct guess.Leaves. Other

Red Stems on the fan-leaves!!What is causing the RED stems on the fan-leaves of my plant.
The Blue God is in week 3 of Flower. 2 other plants are getting the same diet and light and the B.G. is the only plant with red stems.
How do you tell if it’s a deficiency or over-feeding?
How can I turn this around?Week 8
