That's right, I am now an unfortunate member of the 'I got spider mites' club. Without a doubt, I am 100% sure they hitched a ride on a six pack of what was supposed to be chem dog clones. Since I have always grown from seed, or my own clones, and have taken proper care of my grow areas, I did not have any major pest, thus did not know what to look for, or that I should quarrantine 'outside' plants; now I do.
The infected clones had been in the veg garden/room for about a month before I noticed the infestation. They were given to me unrooted in rockwool, so were not much more then 6 inches or so. After noticing discolored leaf spotting, I looked underneath the leaves and seen them moving around along with alot of white things, eggs.? I immediately took the infected clones out of the garden, permanately! However problem now is, what to do with other healthy teens. I soil drenched and foiler sprayed with Azamax a couple of days ago. I will repeat process a couple more times over the course of a couple of weeks. But is that enough to erradicate them forever? I don't think they reached the flowering room, but as a precaution I plan to bomb, sterilize, and leave flowering room empty for a couple of weeks. With all the once 'you get spider mites you can't get rid of them, only hope to control them' post/threads, is there any hope of a spider mite free grow again? I don't want 'outside' clones anymore. Anyhow, sorry for the long post, wanted to be thorough, thanks to all who reply with advice and or comments.
