Holy fucking shit bro, get a vacuum and suck the webbing up, you don't have many options this deep without fucking up your flowers.

You could gas the whole plant in an xxl trash bag with dry ice for 5 hours & water cure the flowers once chopped to help remove dead mites.

Don't forget to clean that room GOOD before growing anything again, use a preventive during veg and keep a clean habit with your flowering room.

Also, always treat clones before bringing them near your grow, even if your told they are clean.

Neem oil in veg, don't bring outdoor products in without cleaning, no outdoor clothes,shoes,tools etc, use filters that block mites if pulling from outdoor.

hey man. I had some rusting on my girl and picked up Safer's Sulphur Dust Fungicide which is a preventative for rust, mites and scabs. I am sure it'll be no help now, but maybe consider it for your next grow. I literally picked it up this morning and sprayed down the girls.

Yea , you could have stopped that witrh a vacuum or even water. I have just as many mites as you do but i would do anything to keep that from happening. Spraying and wiping by hand will get rid of 80% of the crap. Get the vacuum out ans suck all the webs off then spray um down with water.... they will at least be smokable at that point.
Use something STRONG after your room is empty. straight bleach will work. straight vinegar will work even better but do not get vinegar anywhere near your soil. (just like anything else strong) Spray the day you chop , then everyday after for a week ish. You cant really keep um out but you can get rid of the ones you got.
Neem oil is very hard to emulsify with dish soap , use a clear glass to mix it first so you can see if it seperates. Use that as a preventive on your girls.

You didn't read, guys. Plants are already choped and sprayed/dunked in water.
I am asking what to do with tent... I guess they're everywhere in the EMPTY tent right now.

Last time I had mites, long time ago, havnt had any for years, I would quit growing for the summer or the winter and they would be gone whenever I started up again. I would spray/clean your tent as best you can and maybe not grow for a while, let the mites die off or wander off b4 u start up again. I wonder if you had a large enough freezer maybe putting the tent canvas in there that might fuck with any leftover eggs/mites hiding in cracks or anywhere else. Good luck buddy! It's a shame those mites got so far out of hand. Did you leave the garden for a week or something?

Cold pressed orange oil. 4 oz./gallon of water. Organic (d-limonene) and will dissolve arthropods exoskeleton as well as disinfect.
Will also clean the oil stains in your garage, wash your clothes, clean your drains, destroy fire ant mounds. You get the drift. Finest
solvent/cleaner known to man and a lovely fragrance to boot.
