Neem oil. Water will slow them down a little - but its more an annoyance, prolly just pisses them off. Either neem oil or insecticidal soap will work fine.

I've purchased both products before at homedepot.

The neem oil is sold as a product called "fungicide 3in1" (look on the back- 9% neem oil extract and 91% water) and soap is just labled "insecticidal soap"

dont buy that homedepot neem garbage. buy einstien oil. its 100pct cold extract neem oil

its THE best neem you can buy hands down. plus you can make the enviroment hostile to spidermites by lower temps 60 degrees or so is best. and they dont like high humidity. but of course the high humidity might not be a real option during flowering obviously.

and what about the taste?? Does the soap/neem oil effect the over all taste of the bud??

most grow shops have a yellow strip used for spidermites id think of purchasing one and if your grow room is small cut it in half and place a half on each side of the grow.in flower i always hang one or two for that very purpose!!! hope this helps!!

p.s. if they are extremely advanced i think the above posters info would be correct!then hang the strips.
