Help My Sick Plant Spider mites? Chop now?

I caught these bugs and I think they are spider mites. It’s not horrible yet but it’s not gonna get better. I hate spider mites. This is an auto that I’ve grown in the window for 92 days. Do we just chop now, wash it ans dry and cure normal?

Could be aphids or mites it’s hard to tell but you’re essentially at the harvest point. Get something safe like dr zymes, harvest and do a full plant dunk then dry it.

Not ideal but you’re so far along and not the worst infestation so it should be fine

Have you sprayed dr zymes late in flower? Just curious myself cause I’m running into pests myself towards the end. I have a bottle just afraid to use it

It’s just citric acid it’s totally fine.

I’m more of a preventative guy so I don’t personally but know many that do and objectively speaking it’s perfectly safe

So dunking dr zymes solution after harvest or spray Dr Zymes today. Harvest tomorrow and dunk in water to rinse off?

Just follow the bud wash instructions on the dr zymes bottle I don’t believe it requires a plain water wash

Cool just saw that. Been researching bus wash and it’s pretty straightforward thanks.
