Yeah; those lady bugs are great just be careful because they breed and multiply like crazy. If they start to get out of hand just use a shopvac or the suction hose on your vacuum cleaner and suck them up, then just released them outside AWAY from your house; you dont want them making a home under your siding. Also Praying Mantis are great two.

What kind of spider, because spiders are not harmful to your grow, except for the fact that they may eat your lady bugs. Spiders do not eat plants, SPIDER MITES do!

Make sure it's a real lady bug... I had this one that I thought was a lady bug, but turns out it was an Asian lady beetle. Lil fucker ate some of my fan leaf and I had to kill it. :(

Yeah those fuckers are terrable like everything else from Asia. You can tell the difference because lady bugs are red with black spots and Japanese bettles are yellow with spots.

The ones you need to watch are the '28 spot' ladybugs. They chew on the surface of your leaves. However, I've never seen those types eat cannabis before. They seem to love Eggplant though.
