Quick spider mite question help me please!

[sanke]

So my plants are finished flowering and have shown slight signs of spider mites and there is still some visable on the buds...when I say some I found maybe 4-5 after 30 mins of looking with a scope.

Anyways they have been hanging now for 36 hours, is it ok to bring them into the house now trim em up and let them finish drying, or should they hang for another day or two? (i know some prefer to leave the leafs on for drying I do not).

Quick help is appreciated I need to trim them tonight very busy later this week and would hate to wait, plus they might get OVER dry which I deff do not want.

I've only had them once in 5 years. I dissolved a cigarette in a quart sprayer. Sprayed the plants and that was the end of the mites.

If they are still a problem you can do the water cure and that will definitely put an end to their temerity and lack of good manners in leaving your plants when given previous opportunities to do so.

ya i have been using asamax and i also bombed the room... i hate these little guys!! grrrr.

anyways will it matter if i bring them inside to trim, or will waiting another day do anything to get them off the hanging buds.

*note plants have been cut down 36 hrs and hanging.

I wouldn't worry about a few mites after chop. If you have the plants hanging upside down, they'll migrate up towards the roots.

I wouldt worry to much about whats already chopped. now is the time to clean intensly and impliment a couple preventitive maintenance steps so this isnt a problem in the future.it saves alot of stress.
