Please HELP!! - Borg - Finish early, Neem or DO nothing?

[sexybudandnugs]

Yesterday I went to the grow room and I found freaking spider mites!!! Damn them... last grow I had them and I have been spraying throughout the VEG state and I thought it was a thing of the past. I even saw spider webs yesterday. I never noticed it but I guess they multiply damn quick. When I had it last grow these strains (AK47 and MOD Dream weaver) seemed immune but I guess they were just hardier than the ones that were attacked last season and NOT immune.

Anyways, they are about 5-7 days from finishing using my loop. The trichomes are still cloudy. What should I do...

Option 1.... pull them early
Option 2.... Spray them with Need
Option 3.... Nothing
Option 4.... ANY SUGGESTION

This WAS going to be my best grow!!! I was looking at over 1 g per watt for the first time.

One plant had it worst the than other, so I sprayed one plant with neem oil. Wasn't sure if I should this late in flower but I was scared and pissed. I turned the dehumidifier lower so the humidity would raise(it was about 40% switched it to 60%). I heard it slows them down, is that true? The temperature is a constant 78 degrees when lights are on. I'm using DWC. The trichromes are cloudy should I pull them in case it spreads? I'm so stressed. When I had it last grow they wreck my grow I had to make hash out of the bud because it was infested. I hope it doesn't get that bad again, I don't think it will because the mites came at a later time.

PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in ADVANCE!

Sorry to answer your question with a link, but this is exactly the same situation.

thanks for the reply but not the same thing... I know how to take care of them... I'm not sure of how to take care of them NOW!!

Thanks though.. what should i do?

It is very late into flowering... I guess I want to outline the question above again...

Is it okay to use Einstein Neem Oil this late into flowering? I thought spraying certain chemicals this late is very bad? Is Neem oil one of them?

Should I make the humidity go up? The bad thing is that bud mold might develop... never had it but sounds like I don't want it.

What should I do? Harvest early? Spray with Neem? Nothing?

I dealt with mites before and took care of it... well I guess I didn't... but I never had them this late... I read the above reply and the sticky on spider mites.... best advice?

Neem oil will make your buds taste like neem oil.

At this point, you are pretty much limited to removing as many as you can by hand, spray bottle, and vacuum cleaner.

I read in the og growfaq that high humidity actually makes them explode. I'd love to see that in slow-mo and under magnification.

If you have good enough air circulation, it will take longer than 5-7 days for mold to set in.

Thanks. I remember reading on OG that high humidity would do that too!! That's why I had it at 40% humidity. But a few days ago I did some research and it said that it was the opposite, that low humidity helps them spread because of evaporation rates and stuff. A few sites claimed the same so I increased it. But I remember from OG that high humidity will make them explode. I was a little confused, hence, why I asked you guys!

Damn Neem bud sucks huh? Okay got to stop it. I guess I will just kill by hand if possible.

Thanks. Any more ideas? anyone?

try some ladybugs/ladybirds. this close to flower surely these little friends will at least give you a helping hand to kill them...

just give your plants a good clean/hover /wash down (dont get the buds wet) then set a few ladybugs lose on each plant.
iff you can get most of then of then stem leaves ect , hopefuly the the ladybugs will get the 1s on the buds

good luck my friend hope all comes good

Can I use ladybugs and Neem at the same time? I'm going to pick up some ladybugs today.

Wipeing the leafs with 2 wet soapy sponges 1 either side of the leaf helps keep the numbers down and also removes some of the eggs and they don't like a wet humid environment so spraying the undersides of the leafs everyday with water will help to.
