Sure , tip number 1 clean the area
2) figure out why you got the bugs, and take the steps to solve the issues. it might be on the clones you brought in or on your cloths or your dog or your air intake or cracks in the wall, but solve this
3) sort your grow area, this is a big one obviously
4) if you are bringing plants in from outside your grow area have some pesticide on hand (avid+ dinomite) plus all the safety gear (chem mask googles throwaway paper suit, gloves throwaway shoes)
NOW you can start like a normal person

These were never outside. I cut my own clones. The reason for the mites I have no idea. I carefully checked for them before and had no signs until now. If some have no signs of mites can I keep them for mothers? What about putting the infected ones outside just to see what happen? Also what's the best ph tester and nute recipe to use. Medium will be b'cuzz soiless mix

Dude, sometimes you simply have to move on and do what your being taught and quit looking for the answer you want!
In this case, It's not coming!
That is severe mite damage!
BURN them all! I do mean burn too!
Now then, THE most important point. SANITIZE EVERYTHING! You have to do the bleach spray to start. Spray down everything - everywhere! Under, around - every surface in your grow area! Everything in it too! Got that done? Now drop a bug bomb in there! Use it as directed - look at Dr.Doom's or even the flea and tick house bomb's - same thing!
Now get some Pyrethrin concentrate..... Mix it well weaker then they say for use on plants. Spray this at every crack and cranny. be sure to get around any windows and doorways - inside and out. This is a strong repellent to mites and lasts longer then many think. Do this once a month.
Start from seeds and not have mites!
IF you must bring in clones. Do THIS!
Mix up a TBL of Greencure to a gallon of water, and the instructed amount for the pyrethrin in the same gallon of water - in that order (or half a gallon with the amounts added - halved).
Now take the clone in it's cup and hold the cup so when you turn it over it won't drop out or loose soil/media. Dip the plant in that mix as far as it will go. Now spray the soil/media surface with it and the cup too. Leave nothing "untreated".
Good Luck on the next run!

NO NO NO. Start the fuck over..as these fine ppl have said...these are not worth saving and starting over you will get alot more out of it. You will spend alot of money to try to save these and it wont be worth it.
Now that you have spider mites and whatever else..you learn aboit the mites..you study their habits..how they reproduce, effects on plants, hybernation and where they party on friday nights..once you know all this you can beat them forever. This is stage one of becoming a good grower. Identify, and solve before it hits you in your pocketbook
