did I ruin my harvest?

I had a spider mite infestation just about a week or two before harvest, so I went ahead and harvested. Since I didn't want to let the spider mites ruin my harvest, I thought it would be a good idea to soak the plants in water for a few hours to drown out the mites. When I took the plants out of the water, I put an air pump in and started it. Here's where I became concerned. The water was very frothy, much more than normal water. Any ideas about this? What's going on? Where did the froth come from?

oh wow, uhm im not sure about the frothyness, just dry it cure it and smoke a little bit. wait a while, making sure your not dieing or something. Let us know how it goes.

i would so no, just hang the buds to dry. there is actaully a curing method that you let the buds soak in water for like a week, its suppose to remove the impurities. you do need to bomb the room b4 you grow again. i had quite a large infestation myself and used one bomb and the no pest strips ( which i highly recommend) . let the buds hang for a week then
