this is my first grow and am using 4, 4 ft floros-2 warm, 2 cool and 2 additional warm cfl's on bag seed from an exceptionally good bag. i am at least 10 weeks into flowering and i cant tell if these chrystals are clear or cloudy. ive recently noticed a spidermite infestation, and ive sprayed lightly with a 50/50 alcohol /water spray. and ive been using ladybugs faithfully since. will this girl finish before the spidermites will ruin her, or have they already?

You still have a few weeks on that IMO. You said yourself it's still showing new growth, the leaves aren't browning and drying like they do when a plant nears the end of it's life cycle. No color to the trichs, white hairs still, that plant still has 2-4 weeks left to reach it's potential. Tell the girlfriend that good things take time, remind yourself of the same and wait it out. It will be worth it. Harvesting early is a big mistake.

thanks for the input, i was concerned that the mites would ruin it before it would finish. + rep for taking the time to give advice
