Spider Mites

so i thought i had a nute deficency which i was told it looks more like a spidermite infestation, and it is. what steps can i now take to solve this? the plants have been in flower less than a week so i beleive spraying should be ok. steps i have taken immediatly are

i have removed alot of leaves from the plants i know this is not good on the plant but im sure they will survive this.
i have sprayed them with a water soap solution.
turned lights off
left fans blowing over them.

what can i do now?
i have just ordered some Canna Cure but it wont be delivered until tuesday.

should i spray the plants again tomorrow with the soap solution? or should i go and buy something?

thanks again to everyone who has helped me on RIU.

I've used it before and documented it working in my thread. I just treated some more plants that I suspected mites. Just like last time, two treatments and gone.

It works as a foliar and systemic. You can spray it right up until a few days before harvest. You can also add it to your water for a couple watering's for systemic action.

It is a bacteria and safe to use. No poison. Just be carful outdoors with it. It is toxic to bees for a couple hours after application.

You can also look into azamax ....it's not a kill on contact but an antifeedent .....I've had good results with it .....I will mix it with neem and a bit of dawn for heavy nite issues ......however azamax alone can also be sprayed up to the day of harvest ........@whitebb2727 good on you for looking out for the bees ....I have a few hives and had to get new colonies cause I lost mine after the neighbor sprayed a bunch of shit near them last year .......he was nice enough to pay for my new bees but he conveniently forgot what he sprayed when I asked him and his English went super broken as well ....I've known him for several years cause our farms are rite next to eachother never no issues communicating until I asked what the hell he sprayed to wipe out my bees

i will order some a give it a try. i think i have caught it early enough to survive. i will empty the tent and give a good clean also.

would it be ok to have the lights on after washing plants?

I wouldn't use neem in flower. It taste like shit.

I use azamax on them fuckers and they go away.

Just raise the light so it doesn't burn the plants. People say if you water in the sun or lights on it burns your plants. That is not true. I've seen it rain on my garden and the sun come back out and 100 degrees and not burn.

Anything oil based and lights on will burn the hell out of them.

I still tend to spray when the lights go out and raise my lights a bit or where I use a 8 bulb t5, I run four bulbs until they dry.

Emptying the tent and cleaning will help to.

Cleaning is crucial.

Azamax is neem based and I wouldn't use it in flower. I treated flowering plants once with neem and the neem stays for a long time. It taste horrible when smoking it.

Yeah, I only use it in veg. My veg room is accessible to my cats, who go outside. That's usually the source of my pests. My flower room is cleaned regularly, and my girls get doused before the flip.
I've tasted need lol yuk
