I'm 10days away from my first spring harvest however I noticed single strand spider webs appearing across my crop. This is disastrous as its so close to being done yet I jave no clue how to protect my plants to remain medicinal quality. I can't use neem oil this late in budding right? I'm trying to stay organic anyways and no matter how many strands of web I remove more com back but I havee never seen the spiders, could be motes as I have lost one small nug on a main kola the fan leaf associated with it was chewed up with small holes the flower rotted orange and there were small black specs going ham on my bud, this was only one case and I never noticed it until so late because it was on the backside of my plant which faces a wall. Please help comment question bump
 
If it is spidermites and you see webs, you have a major infestation and your harvest will be ordinary, buds taste like crap.
 
Do you have spots on the fan leaves? have a look at the buds through a 40-60x scope to see if there's any spidermites or shit they've left behind - if so just hash all the buds so it doesn't go to waste.

Spider mite bud absolutely sucks, tastes horrible and you're smoking their waste! you can hear the crackle of it sometimes:spew:
 
I haven't taken a microscope to the leaves, no spots visible. Just random single web strands on tip of fan leaves sometimes from one plant to another. I applied a habaneros wash spray "caliclean" ill see if there are new webs in morning and apply another wash regardless
 
from my experience you don't need a microscope to see these pesty bloody mites...unless you have bad eyes of course...turn leaf over ,focus and pow u see the little shits moving slowly
 
I pulled them down but if they pop up again ill try and take New pics, as with a lot spider webs you can't see them unless the sun hits It right. And nuts and nugs I've been MIA from these forum for a while, how do I view the fie you attached?
 
The firs pick half ass shows an example of the single strand webbing I spoke of, in the last two pocs it should showw the ordinaru gaeden spider I foind, uncless its an obese mite. I took the liberty of spraying neem oil on everything AROUND my garden as even a simple spider web can degrade the medicinal quality of the plant

looks like you are ok, if you see webs on your plants it's already too late, but the leaves by then would be pin-pricked all to hell, I think you just had a spider. Careful with neem oil near harvest, it tastes like crap... doesn't hurt you, but tastes like crap. I think you jumped the gun a lil, not that I blame you, spidermites are a bitch. Another point that feels like may be important, I've never seen spider mites spin a web to GET to a plant, only after a THOROUGH infestation, and I've gotten mites LOTS and LOTS of times. Me and them go waaaay back, lil mother-fu#%ers.
