My AK 47 Buds are Ready, and Harvested, but the Spider Mites Attacked one of them.

Hey, While I was harvesting my crop I noticed one plant had about an 1/8 of it messed up. Upon cutting that section off the plant and looking through a high powered microscope, I noticed Spider Mites. I looked at the rest of the plant and didn't see anymore, not even eggs. I threw away the whole plant to keep it away from the rest. I checked out all the other plants and Nothing was Found...Thank the higher powers, I must have caught it very early. I harvested the rest and have approximately 7 lbs 11 ounces of wet smoke including the stems. They are all hanging and on the dry lines for the next week or two, then on to curing for another 1-2 weeks. Two more questions I have though. Around how much finished dried product will I end up with judging by the quantity of wet stuff I have (Almost 8 lbs). Should I still be worried about the Spider Mites? They are in a different room far, far away. What will the Spider Mites do to the bud if they got on them? I will post pics within the hour. Thanks for any help you can give? :leaf:

Never dealt with spidermites man so wouldn't be able to tell you for sure on that one. I would have tried to water cure the affected plant though to try and save some bud, wouldn't have hurt anything.

As far as yield, you are looking at approx. 75% of water weight in buds so 8lbs of wet would be about 2lbs of dry.
