Spider mites 4 days before harvest

[Lucky Luke]

Geez, how long can you hold out in that range? I’m getting impatient at 60, wondering when to end it, soon I figure. I’m just picking and smoking it for now... testing

lol. Awhile. Im lucky enough to have a backlog of supply.
Not going to wreck the work by rushing it.

Right on, well I know it’s improving every time I check it, I dont need it so letting it ride. Previously I didn’t have the option to control the climate, should improve the end result for sure.

When drying at 60%, should I have any fans pointed directly at the buds or just at the wall so it rebounds off?

I have a bird cage fan blowing across the floor under the hanging buds. Not on, just circulates air, some sticks sway a bit depending where I put them, I check and rotate stuff daily. The evaporator unit fan blows wild but it’s sheilded, just there to maintain 60F. Drying at 60/60.

When this has happened to me I just harvest as normal and usually throw away the top colas a bit. The webbing actually comes off with a wet trim and the bugs will move up as stated previously in the post. If peanut butter can have so many rat hairs then I'm fine if a bug or two stays on. But for real, if I didn't tell people that a plant had mites they would never know looking at or smoking. I should also say that I have never had an infestation as bad as some of the ones I've seen on the net, like whole plants webbed up.

I also made fresh frozen bubble from outdoor mite crop, wash freeze processed later. Who had that really bad one, looked like a Disney cobweb haunted house... will look for it later.

A heavy infestation before harvest might be noticeable to those with sensitive taste buds, webbing taste like hair when burned but on the plus side, silk is composed of proteins lol.

A light infestation would likely go unnoticed after harvest, if heavy, just do a bud wash before drying like normal.
