Hate to break it to you but i don't think those are house spiders those are spider mites
@Superfen unfornutily I have to agree they're probably mites.

Although on the upside, I grow in a tool shed out the back (nothing fancy, typical Argos shed) & I've seen spiders but no spider mites & never had a problem to be honest.

There are those little sounders you can buy (same type of things for mice) plug them in & within a few hours Spider-Man will move on.
Think they're around £12 on eBay.

Two fingers, two toes & two balls crossed for your ladies though. :blsmoke:

thats spider mites. i highly recommend getting two different products, one with pyrethins, and one with spinosad. spray with one, wait four days, then spray with the other. repeat that 3 times, and it should get all the live ones and any eggs they left behind.

Too big for spider mites. I've had spider hatches outside and it is impressive. A shitload of itty bitty spiders everywhere! Hell, they probably eat spider mites...

i don't know, those are pretty large for spider mites.
how about some pics of the rest of the plant? spider mite damage is pretty obvious, if he has that much webbing on his plant and no spider mite damage, i'd be inclined to think baby spiders too

I remember reading once that house spiders in the uk will wander from September to late October looking for a mate.
So chances are your cock blocking :clap:, plus the milder winters are boosting their numbers I guess.
We're plagued with horny brutes around here.

well, even if this is spiders and not spider mites, the spinosad and the pyrethin are both good things to have, if you get through a whole grow without needing them you're a lucky person
