high @ all,
well i want to let you know how we successful eliminate heavy spider mites population in a grow room.
Often spider mites came from outdoor plants when they veg outside and then for flowering put indoors. Also you can bring them by yourself into the grow room...
Well don't want to tell you how and why etc... you can find everything on the web over spider mites...
This method works until the last 2 weeks in flower without a notice in the buds smell and smoke... the package claim 3 days and it's gone... but i have no experience...
So here is how we have solved the problem the last 10 years...
We always use Neem that you can buy everywhere:

Neem Oil works by contact and for the top buds it goes also into the plant and kills the other who are sucking somewhere in the top of the plant!
1. if lights are out spray the plant's with neem and look that you spray under the leaves too because they sitting most time under the leaves... You don't need to spray the buds on top... just from the half plant down and the stem and ground too!
2. switch of air ventilation and dehumidifier for next 12 hours darkness. Spider mites don't like it wet!
after the dark time you can switch on vent and dehumidifier...
watch now the leaves where some mites are on... they change color and die... now there are also some eggs elsewhere so after 3 - 5 days it's better to repeat the process. But you don't need to always because neem stays around for ca. 3 days and if the new born mites get in contact with the plant they will die too... and if you do spray a second time you can use less neem and more water.
So after 5-7 days look under the leaves with a magnifier and if there still white spider mites you need to repeat it and do it better than the last time! In 10 years we never had to do this 3 times... just a second because you can not be sure of the eggs...
So after 3 days i like to wash the plants with clean water so i use the sprayer to wash them when lights are out... don't know if it is necessary but it feels better ;-) Also if you have... you can feed and help the plant with leave nutrients or vitamin spray etc. after washing.
Normally the mites are gone now... we never found living ones after use of the neem procedure. Well you can also spray your complete glow room with neem to get rid of all your enemy... we did that 2 times and well it worked fantastic.
What i do personally when i veg outdoor. I spray all plants when i put them into my flower room with neem and clean them with water after 3 days and i never got any mites or other in my grow room.
Also we never found any negative aspect of using neem... it is biological has no influence of the plants health, grow, taste and high ...and most important it works!
Conclusion:
It's not a problem to get mites and other but it can be hard to get rid of them...
But i would never give up... use neem and you will see... it's not expensive and before you kill all plants and trow them away i would give it a try!
