Ok guys. I'm getting a little scared. It has been 36 hours since the transplant and the plants seem to be growing but some of the leaves on a couple plants have appeared to dry up and shrivle and other plants are showing signs of yellow tiped leaves. A couple leaves have a couple tiny holes in them but there are no signs of spider mites anywhere. Ive attached some photos. Not sure if the quality is that great though. I did a a light complete soil water yesterday so I dont think they will need water for a few days. I havnt added any nutes or anything yet either.
they dont look to bad. it doesnt look like you watered very much the soil looks really dry except in the middle. is your water phed properly? effing spider mites destroy them quickly. I'll have fun watching this one good luck.

LOL - I agree
try no "pest strips" and ZERO TOLERANCE
Keep the temperature below 80 degrees.. actually... keep it at 70 degrees and the mites will me manageable.. at 80 degrees or MORE, you LOOSE big time

I thought I saw someone say you have to wipe off the leaves with a soap and water mix and then wth just water.

whiping leaves with spunges works well, soap water works well, lots of stuff to get rid of them, I just found I was infested the other day, sprayed the pants with some soap and it looks like all thoes fuckers died 
... but than eggs will still hatch after their dead. so you got to watch for them even when you think their gone

hope you get rid, how long have your clones been rooted, before you potted them on.
sort the mite problem out. or youll be infested, and fuck up all the grow. bad luck friend, and try to sort the problem asap. use dish soap mixed with water, and try to spunge/wash the infected bits, tops and under the leafs. if i was you id also buy a product from the hydro store.

Bomb them, then spray with neem every other day. They won't have a chance...The main problem with Spider Mites is that you can kill they adults pretty easily, but if you do not keep up with the hatching eggs, all you are doing is slowing them down. To annihilate them from your grow area you must be diligent, and open a can of woop ass on them every other day..Bomb, spray, bomb, spray, spray....a product from Folitec called Penetrator works well in conjunction with Neem oil...Just make sure that you PH your water after you add the penetrator to the water...$75 bucks in product and your spider mite problem is solved...GL, I hope you find a way that works for you...

Ok I had a couple buddies come over and they brought some shit that was dillutes with water. Dont remeber what it was called. We sprayed both sides of all the leaves and the roots. My friends say Im not aloud to use it again for at least five more days. I think we got them but again only time will tell. My friends also said they were waaay under waters and about to die so we watered them throughly and shit they look good. I am going to the store tomorrow to buy a magnefying glass and am going to spend a couple hours looking over 1 at a time. I must win this war. My fuckin grow room is so clean. They must of came in on the clones. Is it a good idea from now on to treat every clone with a product before I transplant it into my grow room. If so, what product?? I will take more pics in the morning.

The come in through the little gaps in the garage door from your garden.
Now that you have sprayed the plants all you can do is wait and hope for the best.
Putting a plastic bag over the top of each plant will increase the humidity which mites hate they like it nice and dry,this will also help to stop your clones from drooping.
The plastic bags will kill all the adults but not the eggs you will have to keep wiping to get rid of them

Hey look at it this way. Now that it looks like you have your mite problem a bit under control its one less thing to worry about, better then discovering them later in the grow
Looks good either way
