 Floramite/Botanicare dip

Hey all,
I'm planning on dipping my kids in Floramite on the foliage, then Botanicare on m their roots. Any recommendations as to whether I can dip the Botanicare on the foliage after the Floramite? FYI, I'm dipping to kill both root aphids and spider mites on young (10" and less) bare root plants. Any guidance would be great! Thanks!

Ok, no help here, so just going to do the botaniguard dip on the roots and floramite on the foliage. Rinsing the leaves with a shower type sink faucet prior to floramite dip. If anyone's interested, I'll post the results here.

sounds like a good way to contribute to the development of resistant strains of pests, and could probably get the same results with being careful how you bring in plants from the outside.
Not to mention, I would still be sketchy with the safety of floromite with a smoked product, even though there has been limited approval with food crops

I hear you about the brining in clones, and the resistance thing. I'm going for complete elimination here, and as for bringing in clones from outside, beggers can't be choosers, idealism doesn't work when you're broke. take what you can get! period.

as for floramite and the smoked product, they won't get the stuff again, and have at least a two month flower ahead of them. I'll let you know how it works.

floramite stays active for a long time within the plant, and is only approved for very limited use with edibles
Also, i'm not seeing how the funds angle plays into being unable to just quarantine a plant
