    I have used predator wasps without a lot of success, mine was an outdoor greenhouse and the infestation was well along before I got the wasps. They seemed to have little effect, and most were dead or escaped within a few days. Maybe others have had better luck. Spider mites suck, without actually using a pesticide most of the organics have limited effectiveness. Oils and soaps work pretty well, but if you are already in bud, it will affect the taste of the final product. Here's what I do now, which is a preventative, nor a cure, a couple weeks before planting I spray the entire greenhouse (tent) with pyrethrin, then before planting clones I dip them in a pyrethrin solution (be careful to keep them out of direct sunlight for a day, then rinse and plant). If you start to see Spider mite signs (small yellow spots on the leaves) pick off all leaves showing any signs and discard the leaves well away from the grow area, check to confirm mites with a magnifying glass. If still in veg, then you have many treatment options, if in flower you will need to make some decisions.
