Yes, I think spider mites are your problem. I too had that problem before and tried the soap and water solution, it worked for a while but they came back every few days or so it seemed. I read somewhere before to try those sticky fly strip things and put them near your plants but idk if it works, I never tried it. If you stick with the soap and water solution, you should keep doing it twice a week at most... Btw I love the title of this thread:mrgreen:
But other than the bug infestingness, they don't look too shabby, you're doing good:)

Oh and a few things I do to make the plants fatter is I pluck some of the baby leaves and bottom branches and more come out=]
And the more dehydrated your plants get, the more thc they produce.
I only water mine like twice a week lol.
And don't keep the males and females together too long during the flowering stage
-it causes stress.
Stress=Snicklefritz.

where did you hear that? plants dont produce more thc when dehydrated they get stressed, the roots die and the plant becomes stunted. watering too much and too little both can cause problems. you want to fully saturate, then wait for the pot to loose about half its water weight, and water again. roots grow best in a moist but not wet medium. the root determines the fruit.

and keeping males and females together wont stress them. the males will pollenate the females and give you buds with tons of seeds. this also reduces resin because the plants energy goes into making seeds instead of pumping out resin.
