Hey hey growmies. So the mites, alcohol, nematodes did not stop the rampage of the spider mites. Now my question is should I crop her now? Most of the leaves are now yellowing but im noticing webbing higher up the plant. She has a week max naturally

Wait till it's ripe, the infestation isn't to the point where buds are damaged or coverered in mites and webbing. The mites won't persist after you harvest and dry too...so only you will know it had mites after you trim.

infestation is worse than I thought turned the pot and the side most out of the wind looked like it was covered in cotton wool, I have been using an 1/8 iso alcohol water mix but stopped as I introduced predator mites. They did nothing. I have started the alcohol mist again

Can you not buy any products to kill them ? I've used a strong mix of vodka and water. 1/5 ratio that did the job for my friends crop, if keep spraying em if they are not ready yet. It isn't ideal, but hopefully you can get rid of the most of them. They will eat your bud also when it's drying. Get some pure alcohol and clean your grow area out fully before you start again.

Added a couple pics of the damage caused to diary. I also checked the trichomes and they are not ripe yet so probably going to leave her
