Use the SNS, works great. You are not too far into flowering so it won't hurt your buds too much. Treat several times, three days apart. Drench them with the spray, making sure you get under neath every leaf.

Best of luck friend, Mites Suck & I too like the SNS spray.
Neem oil works great for mites and many other maladys but you have to get both sides of the leaf, especially the undersides of the leaf where the mites are more likely to congregate. Use it at a strength of one tsp per liter. Add a about a half tsp of dishsoap to the mix and use within eight hours as Neem oil breaks down rather quickly. It can be applied for three weeks prior to harvesting. Hope this helps...

Having 3 dogs I deal with spider mites from time to time and they can be difficult to deal with. I've done my fair share of research on the mite matter lol
The product I use is AzaMax...it's liquid neem oil. Easier to work with I promise!
If your plants are bigger you'll want to tie the lower branches and pull them toward the middle of the plant. Once the plants is fully covered the leaves get heavy and weigh branches down A LOT!
I drench the plants from top to bottom. Make sure the under part of the leaves get hit with it as well. I put a plastic tarp on the floor and let the plants drip on the tarp instead of in the tent or on the carpet. Make sure you turn off your grow lights for a couple of hours. The neem oil will spot the leaves if the lights are left on. Once the neem oil has dried you can turn the lights back on. I also hit my carpeting with the neem oil infront of the door leading into the room..hey it can't hurt I figure.
After I have sprayed ALL the plants (any plant) in the house I set a bug bomb off in the growing room.
Spider Mites lay eggs of course. from what I have read and been told at 65 degrees those eggs will hatch in 5 to 7 days. at 70 to 73 they will hatch in 3 days. With that said.......hit the plants again in another two days. Hit them every two days for at least a week and keep a daily watch on them for at least two weeks to make sure they don't come back.
If your still in veg your're in good shape. If your in flower and you've been in flower for more then a few weeks you'll need a different product.
Hope this helps......god I hate spider mites!
