Very nice! Great job with the training. Looks like you also have spiders takin up defensive positions on your buds, are they the little ones with clown faces on their backs?

Naw, spiders as in regular old garden spiders, probably taking up residence to chow down on gnats and flies and things that are trying to eat your baby. I could be wrong, but in the closeup pic you posted it looked to me like there were tiny little spiderwebs wisping their way between the pistils. Here, I isolated the part of the image I was talking about
If those aren't spider webs, then someone has been shedding extremely fine blond hair on the tops of those buds or somethin. Has Hulk Hogan been visiting your plants?

Doesn't look like mites to me, it just looks like tiny little garden spiders. They're probably eating gnats or flies, I wouldn't worry about it, they are much more your friend than your enemy. Spider mite webs look a lot more... like solid, the individual strands are so fine you cant see them, looks more silky if that makes sense. But yeah, it absolutely could be dandelion too haha, I've found a few of those caught in my plants too

Oh nice, I have some family who live in Olympia, and just over the border in Victoria. Beautiful land up there, even if you sometimes have to take puddle jumpers to get around hahaha. You're brave to be growin' sativas outdoors up there, I hear it can be tricky to get them to finish in time since the temp drops so steeply during october

Well that's why I've been force flowering her. I bring it inside every night. .also protects against the nights dew.

Oh very nice, yeah that's one good way to get around the time constraints! Plus if you're bringing her in you can probably keep her going longer than normal since she wouldn't be outside when the temps drop dangerously low at night during October.
