Are they micro webs under the leaves or ordinary large spider webs? If you have spider mites at week 6 this could be a big problem.
For a start, only an infestation would manifest into webs, hosting the whole development cycle of adults, juveniles and eggs.
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS USE A LIGHT NEEM OIL MIX - 1.5 ML PER LITRE AND SPRAY THOROUGHLY UNDER THE LEAVES, ESPEC ONES WITH WHITE DOTS AND REPEAT EXACTLY 3 DAYS LATER TO KILL THE HATCHING EGGS.
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT NEEM OIL CAN IMPAIR THE TASTE BUT I DISAGREE AND I KNOW WHAT I'D RATHER BE SMOKING GIVEN THE CHOICE OF MITES OR A BIO OIL !!
GOOD LUCK AND ACT VERY FAST !!

Some guys are having really good success with a product called Mighty Wash. Check it out. They claim you can use it throughout flower and you get no harsh residue. I use neem oil throughout veg and early flower as a preventative measure and I never seem to have problems. If you use it late in flower though it does leave a weird taste on your buds.

AAh cheers love, he's a she btw but nevermind (me in pic) and yes I too have had experience with Spider mites. However I know much more about Neem oil- I even add it to the cats shampoo and my friend uses it for her scoriasis. Its the best !!

I have big Cobb webbs on some of the buds. I just sprayed some neem oil and mild soap. Anything else I can do? I'm a week away from harvest

First of all go to your local dollar store and get one of those things to spin cobwebs out of the corners of your house, they usually have them there. Then spin those webs off, this is the easiest way to remove them. Next spray with mighty wash, be sure to spray UNDER the leaves because this is where the mites hang out. You should do a follow up spray a week later. Finally when you harvest cut your plant down at the stalk and hang upside down to dry (take off the big leaves first if possible), the mites that are remaining will migrate to the top of the stalk and you can easily vacuum them off. Hope that helps

You can also use power wash to rinse off the mighty wash or other pest control products before harvest.
