thats an interesting point. so C.C. your saying with a spidermite infestation in bloom, your more prone to bud rought, and mold or am i reading that wrong, and what about sativa plants to me they grow so bushy with nodes real close. thats what i have noticed anyway it seams like if i prune the older leaves off and let the younger leaves get more light they grow better, and it takes alot of the older leaves that are mite infested away from the fresh growth.
