I live near a lake, everyone around here has tons of spiders especially cellar spiders. I have pulled a few dead fungus nats off some buds and even a house few house flies. Maybe the spiders are helping keep those in control.
Id be VERY careful that you infact have spiders and not spider mites. The webs are very similar, and mites are often too small to see with naked eye, chances are if you have a lot of spiders you also have a pest that the spiders are eating. Spider mites will not be seen unless you have a bad infestation or you know what you are looking for. Spiders will rarely leave webs under leafs or on top of buds, it will generally be a web between two points to catch prey. Spider mites on the other hand will make webs EVERYWHERE as protection especially on the underside of leaves. If you have extensive webbing you will likely have white or yellow spotting on your leaves, this is a spider mites infestation, if it is merely webs i wouldn't worry, spider are predators and their webs are easily cleaned from buds.
lol. spiders and spider mites and their webs are only similar in that they are webs. it takes months for mites to make a canopy web which looks like a cobweb, not a fresh spider web.
Ya thats why i said if its mites he'd likely have leaf damage by the time he saw considerable webbing. But the webs are easily mistaken by people that haven't seen mite webs before.
I've been keeping a close eye on my buds and haven't seen any spider mites. Not sure I don't have them though as I've had some leaves that were spotted due to some type of pest. That happened over a month ago and I haven't seen any more damage, however I've come to check when the lights come on and see small bits of webbing stretching from branch o branch sometimes. Never very much. I've had a few pieces of webbing I thought were mold at one point but I've since ruled that out. I've seen a few different species of spiders around the grow area and other areas of the property. We even get them in our car around here! Thankfully harvest is a week or 2 away as the leaves are getting some purple and the pistils are shriveling up and the trichomes are starting to get cloudy. It hasn't gotten much worse over the past month.
