My clones are barely rooting now. Taking preventive measures to not go through hell. They already have some thrips from the guy I got them from. I've dipped in Avid once. Didn't kill em. 3 days later I dipped in spinosad (Monterey). That was yesterday. I want to dip in Avid once more then eagle 20 for PM insurance. I'm unsure of how many days to wait in between different dips.

Can I just dip in eagle 20 today and Avid tomorrow? Or vice Versa? Or do i have to wait 3 days. Can't find info on this. Any help is much appreciated!

I don't dip in anything except spinosad. I would never use the eagle 20.. The spinosad should take care of the thrips.

I dipped spinosad yesterday night. 0.25oz for 16oz of water. It's been about 12 hours but they're still crawling around. How long does it take for them to die?

Also, if you guys don't mind, the main question is how many days in between different dips? I know it's 3 days between dips for spinosad but what if I were to dip Avid, would it still be 3 days or could I do it the very next day?

I mean if I do spinosad do I have to wait a few days before doing Avid or since they are different it doesn't matter and I could just do it the very next day or even same day

Dipping them again will wash off the spinosad. It takes a few days to kill them all.

Thank you! So the spinosad is sitting on the leaves all dried up? And dipping again won't give it enough time to do its job, let the buggers injest the leaves to get poisoned?

I thought the chemical was on the bugs and they are infected by it already so it wouldn't matter. Thought the reason they require a few days between applications is to prevent overdose or toxicity, etc.

AVID and FLOROMITE contain nasty chem's! Very nasty. They are in the top 5 of a list of don't use for cannabis products! Same for Eagle 20!

Dip in greencure (PM) and Pyrethrin (bugs). The pyrethrin lasts about 24 hrs and is broken down by air and UV light....It is a contact killer.

Save your Spino for bigger plants.

BE SURE to spray some of each on the cup and soil surface to be sure you got everything.....

Dip clones in BOTH (after letting them dry between things) Green Cure (light mix at 1 TBL per gallon max) AND Pyrethrin...

I don't dip until rooted. I also hate cuttings. So, I only send rooted clones that have been dipped before shipping.

I dip everything clone wise that comes in, FIRST thing.... Don't even open the package in a grow op.
