I just had that problem. But from clones I got from someone. No where near as bad as an infestation like yours, but enough to make me trash them immediately!!! Those suckers get every where and on everything because they’re microscopic. All they do is drop eggs and destroy what ever they touch. The cons of trying to save that plant out weighs the pros by far. Get your self some of the stuff in the attachment. Guarantee your tent is infested, especially if you can see the freaking web. They are extremely small, and the fact that you can see the web should be all you need to see.

I wouldn’t ever use pesticides on my plants, especially in flower. Unless you want to end up in the hospital, possibly dying.

Wouldn’t a lizard be good to leave in the tent to eat the bugs? Maybe even a frog or 2

Hey noob

cut your losses, chop your shit,CLEAN YOUR SHIT then CLEAN YOUR SHIT AGAIN.

After you’re done cleaning inspect your next crop carefully more often.

I skipped over most of the thread once I seen OP losing his shit.

FINAL ANSWER: KILL THE PLANT, BUG BOMB THE ROOM THAT THE TENT IS IN, WASH THE TENT WITH BLEACH, THEN AGAIN WITH DAWN AND WATER, THEN LEAVE THE TENT OPEN AND BUG BOMB THE ROOM AGAIN.

Is the plant salvageable? Yes, you could save it for the small price of permanent infestation of every nook in your home and a future filled with spider mites crawling on you, your friends, your pets and any plants you try to grow.

Should you try to save it? Fuck no, put a garbage bag over it and then throw the plant, growing medium and pot in the trash, then reread the bold text.

Having a spider mite infestation (not just a few) not only ruins a grow space and all plants in that space, it ruins any plants that your visitors are growing at their homes when they carry your fucking mites home with them.

Mites are bad. Manageable if you catch it early but at your stage you have an infestation.

Don't be dumb, toss the plant.
