Eww spider mites. omg i feel infected just looking at them!! And they show up mid flower....big oof! I'm with Mrs. Larimar. If you spray your plants with soap solution, all your pistils are gonna turn brown and look awful. A Pyrethrin fogger you can try. You indirectly spray into your grow space with all the fans off. It's called fogging. It will kill all the living mites, but does nothing to their eggs. You can slow down the hatching of the eggs by reducing the temperature in your space. Upping the humidity slows them down as well but thats not gonna be good with flowering plants. Get some wind blowing on your plants as mites don't like a windy, cold, humid environments. You can literally go leaf by leaf and squish them by pinching the leaf blades between your thumb and index finger, but thats slow gross work. I think a fogger is your best bet. Fog those fuckers every 3 days. Eggs typically take 3 days to hatch. Or maybe just fog once a week since you are 3 or 4 weeks out. I haven't had a mite problem in at least 20 years. Keep your shit clean. Never walk into your garden after being outside. When your crop is harvested i would clean everything and fog the whole bloody area with Pyrethrin, and then wait like 30 days before you put another plant in there.

the good thing is they are appearing now and not earlier, they dont ahve much time to damage the plant, but for your next grow you have to be aware tht they come back start your new grow in a cleaned envoirement, and start with preators ( google helps=) because if they damage ayoug plant, you can throw them away you can reduce them mechanic with vaccumumextractor or washing with a sponge, you can flueh them away under the shower, do everythogn to minimize

how long do you have to go? i mean its useless to spray anything on flowering Plants preators take time i would say end your grow in your timeline and clean up everythign very well, and start the next grow with predators because those fuckers are hard to kill, and one egg mite brings lots of eggs just be sure to always have predators avialable cleaning up everything!!!! in the room if you use pesticide for final spray, be sure to wait before you start another grow i had big problems with those suckers, it took me nearly 9 months to get rid in total
