Yeah very first grow with any plant. I am certain that if I had caught the spider mites earlier it would have been alot nicer. My gf sister and her friends couldn't get enough of it, they were over my house like everyday to get some and they told me that it was the best they had ever had hands down, and they are total potheads. As for the clones, just make sure your cloning a female first and that the mother plant is strong.

To avoid the one small mistake I made, get a small jug of neem oil, mix a little with water and spray your plants/soil twice a week. I think I have pictures in my second grow log, you will see it leaves a nice shiny sheen coating on the leaves which makes them look very good and will be a proactive approach to stopping any kind of mite infestation. Something I could have easily avoided if I acted sooner rather than later. And a Hot Shot pest strip will do you good as well.
