How far along are you into budding? The longer you wait without treatment the worse it will get. I would cut off any branches that support the main colony. You either have spider mites and eggs on your bud or you spray them. It is pretty hard to get of those fucks. Ive learned to just keep treating for them even tho you dont see them. Remove as much web as you can and spray with an alcohol/dish soap/water solution. I use 1/3 70 percent alcohol and 2/3rds water and a couple drops of dish soap. Your just not going to get them all without harsh treatments.

yea spider mite hash, after you smoke it tho it attracts spider mites from all over the neighborhood. you will never be able to grow spider mite free.

how long are they suppose to be in flower before you lollipop her???i would already go ahead and cut the bigger fan leaves except the leave at the nodes if it will finish fine.but it still has a good way to go....
