Ok so every gardener goes down this road. Neem Oil/Azatrol. Used once a week throughout veg and than up to two weeks in flower and you will not have a bug problem. Prevention is key here. You cant wait till you see bugs to start treating. Rule of thumb: spray now cause you want to or spray later becuase you have to!!

Happy Gardening!!!!

I hate mites, we use spinosad by monterery gardens spray every four days unitl two weeks into flower you will have no pest problems.
Spinosad is a relatively new insect killer that was discovered from soil in an abandoned rum distillery in 1982. Produced by fermentation, Spinosad can be used on outdoor ornamentals, lawns, vegetables and fruit trees, to control caterpillars, thrips, leafminers, borers, fruit flies, and more. Spinosad must be ingested by the insect, therefore it has little effect on sucking insects and non-target predatory insects. Spinosad is relatively fast acting. The pest insect dies within 1 to 2 days after ingesting the active ingredient. Will not persist in the environment. Sunlight and soil microbes break it down into carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Classified as an organic substance by the USDA National Organic Standards Board. OMRI Listed for use in organic production. Mix 4 Tbsp. per gallon of water.

I got some free sample of a newer product called SNS-17C I've now used it on a couple of big infested "Azatrol/Neem treated" gardens with way better results than I expected. Even though it's a bit spendy I will definitely continue to add this product to my line up. Sierra labs was offering free samples from here:

If your bugs arent too bad than try sns 217. It is expensive but it will eliminate your mite problem with one applikation. Thats the organik way. You kan use bug bombs from your lokal grow store, not what I would do tho. You say you have sprayed a kouple of times. With what? If you have been using neem oil/azatrol it is not a quick fix. Slow painful death for the mites. Takes at least three applikations at 5-7 day intervals. Neem oil is a killer but it is a better preventive. That is why I preach weekly sprays thru veg and than up to two weeks in flower. As I always say "Spray now kause you want to, or spray later kause you have to."

I hope it helps!! Hempy Gardening!!!

If they are black not light or gray, than it sounds to me like they might be dead. Im not to familiar with mighty wash.
