Ive been searching and Im having a hard time finding out if I can apply floramite to freshly cut baby clones with no roots. Im trying to make sure I dont introduce no mites to the garden.
Any info helps and is greatly appreciated

are they so bad that you can't wait a week? I know I dip any "rooted" clones I bring into my room by stopping first at the laundry room and performing the deed.

I have also sprayed floramite on my mothers 1 day before cutting clones with no problems. I have done exactly what you are asking but I've danced all around it

when you are dealing with clones, you are better off just inspecting each clone and smashing all eggs and live mites with your fingers...

once they root, and have some sort of stability, then i would say go ahead and spray a weak mixture of the floramite on the plants...

Thanks lil wayne thats the kind of answer I was looking for. I actually did squish the little bastards and none were moving from the start so hopefully they are already toast. Im just gonna hit em with it when the y have decent roots
\Thanks BigGreen

I agree with lil wayne!

Ya, with clones being small you have a small area to deal with, rinse the bastards off under the sink and make them drown, then keep an eye out to see if anything hatched, I would also take my fingers and run them along the leaves to help pop there eggs like lil wayne has stated.
