But seriously, mine came from the weed clinic (they since have stopped giving out clones, bummer). The guy said, we only have 3 left and they have spider mites, do you still want one? I said, what are spider mites? He said, they are no big deal, but I would need some neem oil to take care of the problem. I looked at the plant and didn't see anything, so I took it home and put it in with my others, sprayed it with neem oil, and wrecked my life for awhile. That guy was lieing or extremely mistaken.

A few of the many places they can come from besides weed clinics:
- through cracks in your grow area from the outdoors.
- from your clothes, after you visited an infested grow area.
- from your cat, after it was outside.
- from you, after you were outside.
- from a plant you brought home from a garden center.
- from the twilight zone.
