Anyone know of a good dipping product?

[DANKSY]

Does anyone know a good organic pesticide dip for my cuttings? I'm tired of getting cuttings with hitchikers on them..

depends on what you're trying to kill
neem oil
einstein oil

here's an organic pesticide chart i came across a while back. i don't know how accurate it is, so don't take it as gospel or risk a whole crop using the info, please.

Pistil, mostly mites..because they seem to be the most common.. Does Einstein kill the eggs? Do you know any organic that does? Thanks for the chart, Im sure that will come in handy..

It will, but the mites may build a tolerance to it over time. They're adaptive little bastards.
I use an alternating cycle of neem, einstein and a product called SMC (spider mite control). The SMC is organic ( i don't know why i didn't mention it in my prior post...had a stoner moment). Ingredients are: 1% coriander oil, 94% Canola oil, and 5% triethanolamine
But.... even with me alternating products, i seem to have contracted mites that just will not die right now.
To kill them for good, Floramite is the way to go, but it is in no way organic.

Bonide Brand..Captain Jacks Dead bug Brew..Bacterium that kills Mites and Thrips.SPINOSAD is the trade name of the bacteria.
