Harvest in 10 days - Spider Mites now

I am set to Harvest my plants in 10 days, and I just noticed a small spider mite investation at the bottom of my plants.

With harvest being only 10 days away, what is the best strategy as to not ruin my buds?

I am all set to start flushing tomorrow.

Is Neem oil safe to use at this point? Or should I just chop off the infected area of the plant (15%)

oh damn, i thought you were havesting IN 10 days

neem is ok to use early in flower.
lady bugs do work, however if you have a large infestation of mites, ladybugs arent the answer. maybe for prevention and smaller infestatons.
Pyrethrum will work as well same as neem. some bugs can develop an immunity to it.

honestly organicide, neem, whatever, is going to have a lasting result in your quality of bud because of the timing.
You may be able to pull it off with OK results, and i really hope you do, but your safest bet is to take clones, clean the F out of your room and next time take preventative measures like applying neem for no reason. but i know you dont want to hear that, lol
practice makes perfect from what i hear though, good luck brother
