Spider mites (not really spiders but they do make webs) - not good.

ANY other kind of spider is a good thing. The only potential downside is spider webs in your smoke so you may want to rinse your plant well before harvest, or you'll have to deal with the webs during trimming. Otherwise, they're another great natural predator to control problem pests. And they don't cost you anything. And they're organic.

Yeah they're weird in that they show no fear of humans. I've heard they will kill even a black widow. nteresting read. I have one hangs out on patio, think he eats Flys I've swatted.
