I'm getting pretty close to harvesting. withing a week I think some hops will be ready. but I have a spider mite problem about a third the hop plant has spider mites. looks like this
(obviously not my hops but it's just like this)
the other part is fine but there spreading. i sprayed them with a soap water then with a hard spray from the hose. I think I'll spray a 1/1 alcohol/water tomorrow. is there anything else i can do to keep the mites at bay? I just need another 2 weeks to harvest all the hops. btw, I live in the marijuana capital of the US (Seattle) so i doubt any food safe spray would work.
what should I do,
1 leave it the mites won't kill the plant/be a problem before harvest
2 spray with alcohol/water
3 more soap spray
4 other?
5 harvest early
