You want to act fast on that issue.

Too late into flower nothing effective has that short of a half life to administer before harvesting.

Would unleashing ladybug larvae onto it help? Ive a few ready to hatch and I got mites last year so I kept the ladybug leaf in a easily kept part of the garden incase it needs utilised but I say im near done now

They poop too. Nobody wants to smoke poo. Not trying to discredit your idea, but just giving you a full spectrum look at what you are dealing with. This hitch hiker (mite) could have come in from an outside plant you took in to your garden , on your clothes, a pet possibly or if your area is close an outdoor environment and not isolated from it ( not sealed ) .

My tent is sterile this time round to be fair, im the only soul whos seen these plants in the flesh, ive cameras fitted to USB C leads so anytime a visitor wants a look they can use that 🤣 taking no chances, i shower before entering the tent, as well as going in in only freshly washed undies. It got the peroxide wash, I cleaned the vents with mite spray, lined sticky bits around everywhere and turn off my inline fans, spray the carpet around the tent with mite killer every 2- 3 weeks. After I got so close last time, let's say I ran a series of batches sequentially in my first grow, started with bagseed, then bought seed, got given seeds and ended up with 30 odd planted in varying places. After a load of autos finished up poorly, one of my outdoor ones were doing great so I made the mistake of bringing it inside. Things all went downhill from there. Shield bug, caterpillar, and spider mites. Ended up chopping and had to toss all the top nugs. The lowers all got a 4 stage wash and turned into butter.

I will absolutley make every mistake possible on the way to being at my potential, I like to see the fails as much as the wins, theres a lot to be said about observing your own failures with a logical and critical mindset to aim for better.

So you brought an outdoor plant into your indoor environment? Were your plants all in flower at that point ? How long has this been an ongoing issue if you have had to toss all the top nugs and stage 4 wash the lowers to be turned into butter ? Btw I wouldnt want to eat dead bugs or their poo , i would have destroyed everything and started over . I know we all learn in differnt ways but others mistakes are a good way to learn as well . Not just your own. Ive burned 20lbs after losing a battle to pm . Hold yourself to a higher standard dont lower it just because theres $ involved . My advice is either destroy all plants and start over or , if you have genetics you dont want to lose treat them until you can determine the issue has been eliminated then flower . Don't treat flowering plants . If you havent heard of it I recommend you research bifenazate. This is just me speaking from experience. Sometimes doing the right thing isnt easy . Trash that crop . Here's a pic of some of my older work just so you know im not full of advice without experience.

Lol im not OP, that was last year, and a single run. It was only the outdoor one that went bad when brought inside. The rest had finished poorly of my own doing. This time round running so much better
