I tried Persimilis once but they didn't do anything to stop the mites, at least that I could see. Lady bugs might be better, but probably too late to do anything now. If you're late into flower I wouldn't would use the mighty wash. I've heard it's good, but if you're planning to smoke/consume it, I don't think that adding pesticides is ideal. Rather an early crop and just chop it where it stands. You can always water cure - I did that once following a massive spider mite infestation. The buds look like shit but they're actually really smooth and smokeable! Seemed to get rid of all the mites... what's a little protein in your smoke anyway? ;)

The only thing I'm familiary with on your list are the lady bugs.... and they will do the job .. but if you're in late flower, they may not act quickly enough.... I use one of two organic sprays - Dr. Zymes Eliminator or Spinosad... both can be used right up to the day of harvest without affecting the buds or the taste of the weed... but in late flower, you'd have your hands full trying to spray the tops and bottoms of all leaves.... (well, you'd have that problem trying to spray with ANYTHING!)... but either one of those will take care of not only the adults but the larvae and eggs as well... Good luck!
