Harvesting after spider mite infestation?

RobCat said:

So I took down some of my plants a few days ago and got close enough to my Panama to see that it had been invaded by spider mites. Some of the buds had been coated in webs and the leaves had been damaged. I sprayed the plant down with some water with a small amount of cayenne pepper, which seems to have solved the problem for the moment. My question is how do mites affect the buds? Will it effect the quality of the smoke? Ive been growing for years and this is my first time dealing with them. I just wanted some other opinions. Its only about 2 weeks from harvest and there doesnt really seem to be any damage to the buds themselves. Its still a decent looking plant and Id hate to trash it unless nessasary. Any info is much appreciated.

I think if your plants are healthier they would not be so susceptible to mites. purple stems usually means ph is off from my experience
