    The greenhouse I work at uses predatory mites for thrips and all sorts of pests, you could look into that

    could try heavy neem , crop trifecta ( i haven’t tried it yet but for 70$ a gallon it BETTER work) – or spinosad spray will do it

    We had better outcome with hunting mites than with neem oil for thrips. The oil is really hard to spray if you don’t buy a super expensive mister and you will have residue on the buds.

    The mites were amazing. They came in little paper pouches to hang inbetween the branches and they had a feast.

    Never had spider mites so far.

    Do you need to water our plant everyday? You can shower them.

    Predatory mites work, but I always just used compost tea(AACT). Don’t use neem if you have buds already.

    I use a vacuum cleaner for spider mites. You can just suck em right off the plants.

    I never had any luck with anything organic, unfortunately. The bugs disappear almost immediately (fly towards windows/light) and neem never did anything. Only thing that’s worked for me is permetherin.

    Or you can just burn it all.

    Monterrey pest spray. Gets rid of pests fast and is safe for use on pre-flower/early flower stage cannabis.

    I used to manage commercial gardens. It’s not organic but I used mighty wash in a pinch up to 3 weeks before harvest. Never use neem during any stage of flowering (which it should definitely be pushing at least hairs by now). Spray the underside of the foliage. Also, you should consider cleaning up that lower canopy a lot. Extra foliage doesn’t do anything but give the bugs a place to live and suck nutrients from elsewhere.
