We had to harvest our first plant this morning due to severe bud rot with webs through it. Thank goodness the trichomes were done enough to cut.
Now that we're trimming, we've found some black, microscopic bugs....maybe worms in it.
Is there anything we can do to get rid of them at this stage?
thanks for your help, as always!

Probably not. Webbing usually indicates the advanced stages of spider mite infestation. Believe it or not just rinsing with a jet of water knocks a lot of them off.

Can you post pictures?

Thanks, but everything is cut, drying, and some cut into buds now. I cut out the bad parts, since I wasn't sure what it was, and there wasn't too much, thank goodness. Only one worm, and some other round, black bugs that could have been spiders that looked like they had skins like beetles....strange.
I read about rinsing everything in buckets of water and (lemon juice? I don't remember. Have to find it again). it doesn't knock off the trichomes. Now, I don't know how it would do with webs. May have to do the jet of water.

Not to be too negative but they aren't usually limited to "one plant"
and spider mite webs are impossible to remove from buds, other than a grinder
Maybe consider hash or concentrates

Herb & Suds, is it healthy to smoke the web, made from the spider mite? im a little afraid to smoke this shit. Do you think that, using bong, to smoke the flower form will be better choice, than rolling papers? Also with what insecticide should i threat my grow tent after this grow, so i can grow my next one without this problem?
