Spider mites in late flowering

Spiral
Spiralstarted grow question a month ago
I have mites on one of the King's I'm starting week 7 of flower now and I don't think spraying is going to be the best decision. I've flushed my plants today, the other ones don't have spots on leaves. The sick plant is moved away form the others. Should I harvest it early or ?

Neem is getting banned in a lot of countries and is in mine. I would not be spraying it on the plants in general and specially in flower. You are going to smoke this yes??? don't add in neem. The active ingredient in neem is a suspected carcinogenic and has other issues with the reproductive system if I'm remembering correctly. Also spraying anything in flower is a no go extra moisture is bad for bud rot. and you want your buds as clean as possible as you will likely ingest some of that stuff you spray on them. I would be more along the line of wiping all the leaves with a bit of soap in water and just psychically removing as many mites as possible. and for next time, just a IPM option like predator bugs. or spray in veg before flip to flower.

Facepalm emoji would fit here with first guy ..... Do not spray nothing. Fact. You already quarantined plant, thats wise. If no webs yet, try to push it to the end. If infestation will go out of control - you can always do bubble hash. Would be stupid to harvest now, you need few weeks max till harvest, try to jazz out that time... at least i would .

Hey there your plants look good beside the problem you listed Alright, dealing with spider mites in your flowering cannabis plants can be tricky. 1stt off, you could try a stronger insecticidal soap or neem oil spray. These can be effective, but you'll likely need to spray multiple times, maybe every few days. Also, be careful with sprays during flowering – some might leave residue on your buds. If that doesn't work, you might need something stronger. There are specific miticides designed for cannabis plants, but it's important to read the labels carefully. Some miticides have waiting periods before you can harvest, so figure out how much time you have left in the flowering cycle. Finally, you could try a predatory mite treatment. These tiny creatures are natural enemies of spider mites. You can buy them online and release them in your grow area. Also if the plant is small enough you can try and get a cardboard box put the plant in it and put a box fan on each side of the box blowing same direction. Try shaking plant wile all the wind it could help knock some off. Also of your like really right about to harvest you can spray things like water and vi gar or water amd dish soap or water and essential oils there are not the greatest but can slow them down and kill a few. If you end up not being able to get rid of them if prob just freeze everything at harvest amd make some.water hash with it all. Don't quote me bit I would assume the water prosses wld filter out the bu
