black spiders

I just noticed, while looking through my magnifying glass, that I have little black spiders crawling around some very nice buds. Are they detrimental? What can I do? I was thinking of getting some ladybugs to avoid chemicals.

thinking spidermites.... and I'd deal with that quickly... Depends on how fast you can get some ladybugs, and if its outside, don't waste your time.

A agree-- those things will devour your plant. Get some lady bugs, or find some safe remedies online to get rid of them. Try to stay away from harsh chemicals tho.

Good luck man-- kill those little SOBs!

Hello
thanks for your help:) They are inside and it's my own fault because I strayed from my usual garden soil mix and took a bit of nice dirt from outside. Sometimes cutting corners hurts more than it helps. I am giving them a light dose of vegetable insect spray that says that you can use it till the day of harvest. I am hoping I will only need this one spray because it is a small plant in an enclosed area with 4 other plants and there is still at least 3 to 4 weeks till harvest. I am new to this so if you don't mind, can you answer another question?:weed:
In another area, I regenerated a plant and have cloning down to a nice pattern, so the buds should start rolling in now. The first harvest, I know I jumped the gun a little because I didn't have adequate magnification, but it was still very good and wicked tasty. Now I am sure that I see Amber trichomes, but I would say 2 out of 40 to 50 are amber and the rest are an even mix of milky and and clear, but the buds are much smaller. I didn't prune a whole lot off of it. What is the percentage of amber trichomes that you think is peak? Thank you. I really appreciate it and if it's too much of a pain, I don't mind if you dont' answer. I will figure it out eventually but I love the fact that is now decriminalized and that I found this website. Have a good night!!!
