Please, please tell me these aren't mites

Hey guys. This is my first grow and I just got a couple clones from my friendly neighborhood dispensary. After looking at a few threads, I think they may have mites. Can some kind soul please let me know if these are mites, or if I'm just an idiot newbie. I don't want to throw out good plants, but I don't want to infect my grow either. Pictures included. Thanks in advance!

Looks like mites

do you have small black dots under the leaves? if so those are mite eggs and you have mites...get yourself a magnifying glass or a loupe and look closely...they are barely visible to the human eye...go to home depot and get yourself some Natria...it will save the clone...

I don't see black dots, but I do see what might be egg sacks (pic 1). They kind of like like tiny clearish orbs.

If you guys think they're mites for sure, I don't wanna mess with them, just toss em. I have 4 expensive seeds I just germinated and I don't want to infect them.

Kind of a bummer.

i wouldn't toss em...you may have something special...and they are already clones...ready to grow...save em...

I agree, spray them they will be ok

from a dispensary? id take them back and complain, they probably wont care though

You got hosed. Return them. Buy seeds.

Quarrantine and dip any clones you get.

If you decide to keep them check my journal starting on page 5 mid column. Some excellent advice to deal with the BORG. Good luck...J

You can do it bro, those girls want to flower for you.

Do you guys really think its worth keeping infected plants when I have a bunch of 10£ each seeds I just germinated? How easily could they spread from my hands/air flow or whatever?

That is totally up to you my fine friend, It shouldn't be too big of an ordeal to get rid of the mites on those very small clones. I would take Snaps advice and quarantine them though. Give my journal a look and see if it's something you want to deal with, if not take em back or pitch em. Your choice....J

Mites hitch hike on your clothes and shoes and possibly the hair on your hands and arms if your one of those kinda guy's....they also crawl from pot to pot on the floor of your grow room....

Good god, really? That sounds honestly terrifying. I'm really torn now. Thanks for all the advice, guys. Slightly off topic question. Will adding a cool mist humidifier to my grow cab help keep kites from popping up?

Keep your temp below 68 deg. and they can't reproduce, then all you have to do is kill em off when they hatch...J

Thanks! Sounds like a humidifier may help keep them away. I've decided to try and return them and if that fails, put them outside. I'm just afraid of this spreading to my grow cab now. I was handing it after touching the clones.

My grow cab stays at 55 degrees outside. Will that low of a temp kill fresh clones?

No I wouldn't think so, but they won't grow much at that temp...

Don't need to go that low.. spider mites enjoy warm dry climates (70°F-80°F). They'll actively reproduce every 4-5 days in 80°F+

Lower your temps to 60-70, spray leaves with your choice of many available options (jointed's thread he shared mentions some). The lower temps, cool spray, and humidity will slow their reproductive rate drastically.
