Spider Mites

So i got fucked got some clones from this dude and 1 had spider mites, being a rookie grower didnt see the whits spots, until it was too late, my question is i have checked the back of 3 or 4 leafs from the 4 plants i didnt think had it, and checked them extremly well under a 60x led microscope, didnt see any. Cleaned the room and fans with 10 percent bleach soloution and left 4 of my 9 babies in there. Is it possible that some of the plants dont have them on them or are they in there we just cant see em had the plants only 8 days, 9 plants and it was the 1st grow. My hope is that they are clean of the fucking mites, and in a week i can clone each 1 and get back to 8 plants. This shit is dishearting for my 1st grow and then the queer was trying not to give us a refund, there is no amount of money to replace, hard work time, and the amount of heart i had into them. Just wondering if my 4 plants could be mite free or if there in there do they all have them. Took other 5 outside and planted em.....

It is possible they did not spread to all plants. Especially if your plants had plenty of room. (leaves not touching)
Removing all plants that you found mites on was a good move.
The one time mites showed up in this garden, they were taken out by throwing out the worst infected plant and treating the others with Azatrol.
This was all in veg. Mites in flowering is a mess.

If your space with your clones is not too small to take a bug bomb, you could try that.

Do not try to put a bug bomb in a little 3x3 tent or anything of that sort though.

Even if you do not see mites on your other plants, you should treat them anyway.

During veg cycle use FLORAMITE it's expensive but it will eradicate your pest & prevent it to come back. It protect your plant for up to 5 weeks with a chemical that prevent the mites from feeding, those little fucker die of hunger same happen to their eggs when they hatch. Unfortunately you can't use it (FLORAMITE) in the flowering cycle otherwise it would poison your bud. If you get mites during bud cycle, spray abundantly with LIQUID LADYBUG every 8-10 days to complete cycle then use FLORAMITE as preventive measure on your next batch ( during the veg cycle ).

Clones exchange is actually responsible for most case of spider mites, drying an outdoor harvest next to a grow-room would be the second worst thing to do, also mites infect species of vegetable you can import them with your groceries if you grow at home. You can spray with FLORAMITES once during veg cycle to prevent mites from ever adopting you grow-room. A natural product called Neem oil can also be sprayed, it a nut oil that's repulsive for the mites.

If I get new clones from the dispensary..I always hose em with azamax and a no pest strip room (isolated for 10 days) before putting them with other plants.
