on top of that it looks like a pretty bad infestation. Are all the buds that bad? If they are that plant is probably pretty useless, I mean I suppose y ou coud attempt making some hash but Idk if I'd want to smoke it, no offense lol

I've been spotting lil spiders running along my hands while trimming and wondered if they were mites. I thought mites weren't very noticeable to the naked eye so I assumed their some type of baby orb weaver type spider, I don't kno though, the ones I seen all had big white butts (big in comparison to their bodies cuz their only ballpoint pen size). I've been killing them, just storing buds in glass jars cuz as the mad hatter said, they need air to live, and ill smoke me some dead spiders, nice lil kick in taste.

From what I understand, when the plant is chopped, mites abandon dont they? That would explain why you see them gathering by the stock now? I could be way wrong though.

No, those sound like regular spiders, probably orb weaver babies like you said.
As for the mites, yeahthey do usually have a tendency to leave drying buds, so at least make sure you don't have other plants near the drying stuff. They WILL migrate to them.
The other advice I can offer is removing those webs.
Wow thanks for all the help never had this prob before my first time trimming dry I stuck all the infested buds in my vacuum purge jar I use for oil left each doing for 20 mins looked at them with 30x scope and the looked dead not moving so I hung them to finish drying and they were back the next day guess Im going to have a lot of mite oil but not sure yet thank for all the help
