spider mites right at harvest time?

[CentralMayhem]

so i am CLOSE to harvest time. just noticed on a few leaves of my afghan kush ryder a few tiny mites. just saw some odd movement on leaf when looking at trichs. no webs anywhere. not widespread. should i just harvest and forget any fight? have a bubblicious about a week from harvest right next to it and a blue mammoth that has about 3 weeks to a month. have noticed none on the others yet. any advice would be appreciated. this is my first grow and everything is amazing until i saw these things. no damage done yet. what to do?

Thanks guys,

CM

Keep an eye out and if they get worse spray them with an organic insectiside.

ve found nothing else. It was only on 2 smaller fan leaves. I also saw what looked to be microscopic nematode or somethin on bubblicious. No damage on any plants bud or leaf. Are there beneficial bugs?

Yep... There are some ladybugs that eat them out. Listen, since you're near harvest time the best thing you can do is... Squash them! If you rub your finger on the spots you'll notice you'll leave a small trail of blood, meaning the lil bugger got squashed.

Anything from more than 6 on a single leaf is an infestation to me. Check the close by plants to see if they're infested. If they still in veg you can use several number of products, oil based, that are effective eliminating them.

I like that spinosad!

I can use it during the night so it doesn't affect the bees that visit my backyard in the day time. I just wish it wasn't as expensive as $50 just for normal shipping outside USA. I'll keep oiling and squashing mine
