Don't be surprised if I shut it down, they don't even seem healthy enough to make it through spraying yet.

Shit ;( that sucks bro. I never accept anything other then seeds simply cause you cant guarantee its pest free or healthy enough... I hope this is a tiny issue and resolves fast for ya fella.
Insane! I'll be smooshing two in flower in my 2x4.
And that too?
They look good to me, but I grow outside so bugs come with the territory. I'd spray them and keep them if you value the genetics. Otherwise out they go!
I just needed to relax and medicate. The problem seems manageable and not that bad really - way easier to control now while they are small. However the last time I sprayed clones right after they rooted one of them did some unusual clawing and shriveled growth that I attributed to spraying. Maybe it wasn't that. I don't particularly like the smell of safers solution either. I'm wondering if vinegar and soap is an adequate alternative. I've got some sticky cards too... not expecting them to help but I have caught my arm hair in the damn things twice 
What kind of bugs are you battling? Safers might be a bit strong for young clones, but there are lots of other choices depending on the bug.

Be sure to pass the word back up the line, perhaps they didn't know? Maybe they have not noticed them as much.
ah mites again... my bad I'd forgot to mention lol
Do the clones have roots? If so I would try some 70% iso alcohol spray. Usual dilution is 1:9 with water, but you could either go more diluted or do a test spray on one leaf with that. Actually...do a test spray no matter what! Undersides of the leaves are where they live.
If the plant takes it okay, I would use it every 3-4 days for a few weeks to break the life cycle.
Another option is diatomaceous earth mixed in water and sprayed on the undersides. Takes longer to work but works longer per spray.

Hey there 420
Since my last post here I have established that even the wonderful FC3000 will be defeated by a tight enough canopy. With 12 plants in my 4’x4’ room - 5 of them about 4’ tall - I am finally getting yellow leaves in the dark undergrowth.
Not that this is a goal. Just an update.
I’ve had to lift the light a couple of times lately. Some tops stretch to within 6-8” of the light with no apparent problem.
One thing I am noticing is ripeness occurring earlier than usual. I’m just running clones of clones, so I know how long a plant runs under 12/12.
I just harvested one 7 days ahead of schedule. An anomaly by itself, but I’m scoping the next two to be ready and their trichomes are milkier than expected. Both are looking like they’re going to be done a week earlier than usual.
Is this a known thing with LED’s or have I stepped through a crack in the spacetime continuum?

A little yellowing is expected, and for what it's worth my Candida clones ripened a week sooner than either of the mothers...in the sun!

Spooky. This is the quickening. The world is about to disappear up its own arse and gardeners of the world were the first to notice.
Wow donkey dick how do you control the smell

Hey mate. Talking about smells. My dogs found a dead seal to roll in the other day. Rancid seal blubber. It’s as good as it sounds. My black dog was white with it and my white dog was as ripe as her.
Dog shampoo only goes so far.
Now my bed smells funny.
As for the garden beds: just a charcoal filter on the exhaust.
Cheers 420
It's already Christmas in there DD!
When my dog rolls in something untoward we use my shampoo which is pretty much detergent! We give her fish oil pills for a few days after to replenish we've stripped.

Good idea to replace the oil in their coats.
Ours do ok. They get a bit of offal most days with their dinners. Vets always think they are on the most expensive foods, but nope.
Rolling in stuff and swimming lots is great for conditioning.

Phoning in another update here for the 420 of youse.
Still enjoying the hell out of the FC3000.
We’ve harvested seven plants since putting this light in here. Weights are on par so far. Steady as she glows.
Thanks for looking in
