Was watering today and noticed the following on one of the clones in the dome.

No sign of mites crawling on the plants, what else should I be looking for? Are these eggs?

That's weird looking, but it doesn't look much like mites to me. You really do need a higher power loupe (15x or better) or pocket magnifier to ID them. I would get one of those (they're cheap. Rock shops, hobby shops, etc, lots of places have something like it) and take a closer look.

not mites.
I have seen the borg.
We have gone to war.
The little bastards died.

I suspect the nutes are slightly hot in the mixture.

if thats coming out of a domed enviroment, that is mold. Mold spores to be exact. Ive seen that exact type in some of my trimm after it sat and got moldy. just like that..

Mold...cut those leaflets in half!
Take the dome off, only need it on a few days if that, and take it off 3x a day and let air recirculate.
 
Yep, it's probably a little mold. If you are watering you probably don't need the dome anymore. I only use a dome when I clone in Peat or Rapid Rooters, and then only for the first 10 - 14 days or so.. until they have roots. Once they have roots they are now plants, and don't need the super high humidity. I don't use a dome at all when I clone in my EzCloner! However, I do use a humidifer to keep the humidity in the mid 50s.... it's so dry here in Colorado, MJ plants can't handle 15% humidity, which we get here in the mountains.
My 2 cents, happy growing!
