3.if the plant replaces the resin
4.if this delays the onset of senescence

The reason Im interested is because I read that the only resin that has THC in it is the newest that has accumulated in the last few days. by this theory, the plant could be stripped with alcohol a week before harvest and a week later it would have as much THC bearing resin as it ever did. So the buds are just as good AND you have a load of extract that would have degraded had it been left on the plant under the lights another week.

Thats a neat idea, but I doubt some of whats said about THC production because it wouldn't explain the appearance of amber trichs laden with decarbed THC only later in the flowering cycle.

I cant remember it was ages ago. Its may well be incorrect or I misread it but I will still experiment with the idea, when Im really bored and have nothing better i should be doing that is

Are spider miles like dog years?

Oh and I think maybe he (or she) read about synthesis in the trichome.

Once the cuticle is gone the stipe cells would just ooze, I would imagine anyway.

Guys, I have to admit that I came up with the idea while in an induced coma. I worked on more of the details while on very strong Antipsychotic drugs to make the people in my mind go away but they were the ones who came up with it in the first place so I have to give them some credit.

This is too late to help the original poster but I'll write it anyway. I'd never spray a plant 4 weeks into flower with a pesticide, 'safe' or not. Even organic stuff is going to leave residue and affect the taste. And could possibly have bad effects when burnt and inhaled.
Water is the best solution. If you carry the plants to a bathtub and hose down every leaf three times a day for a week or two. You'll save the plants, destroy enough mites for the plants to finish flowering.
This is the simplest solution for any infestation at any point in a plant's life. If you clean your plants regularly you'll make it very difficult for any pest.

I agree.

I guess I devalued my endorsement with my previous post

Yeah I'd give them credit too, they sound like creative thinkers who might be on to something. Maybe rinsing the plants in ice water to do a not solvent extraction could do the trick if it turns out that the solvent rinse hurts them too much.

Might be the cleanest solution but definitely not the simplest. And if your don't get the fuckers in the room they'll just look at that clean plant and be like damn no competition let's move in and double down on reproducing.
