@MadMac thanks.. I thought of using neem... However, MrTea mentioned flowering...

@MrTea.. Took them out to flower about first week of August... So about 8 weeks... Really late!!

I was thinking about going ahead with the neem since This herb will be used for oil not smoke.

Those are spider mites though?

2 spotted spider mites. Even if making oil don't spray the neem. It will ruin your oil. Neem is an oil and make its way into the end product. oil makes oil. What I WOULD do is tip your plant on its side and spray the undersides of her with a hose. The idea is to knock off as many mites and eggs as you can. It won't stop the problem, but it'll help delay it BIG time.

Hey, water you plants with cold pressed neem and the mites will start to disappear in about a week. I'd water with neem every day for a couple of weeks. Any webbing can be picked off with anything sharp and pointy. You'll notice no more webbing being made after about 7 days. Follow the instructions on the bottle and you'll be gold. It's got to be cold pressed, preferably organic. I've done it in the past and it works. And no spraying. The plant will suck up the neem through its roots and turn the whole plant into bug Armageddon.

I just noticed this is an outdoor grow but it should still work the same.

I get my soil super healthy and never have problems with bugs. Lots and lots of mulch brings the soil to life and makes for healthy, vital plants that can fight off most bug attacks. Mulch helps establish colonies numbering in the billions of soil microbes and bacteria's that plants love. It also attracts a much broader range of insects to the garden, and that will include predators who will hopeful clean up your mites for you.
