I am a relative newbie. Spidermites took a toll on my first crop of clones but I managed to contain them with Doktor Doom.
I have been advised to dip clones in a toxic--put your eye and hand gear on--solution before transplanting them. I did this with my first group (see above) and ended up with a large, but controlled in the end, mite breakout.
My questions are:
1. Can I avoid the toxic dip that didn't seem to work anyways or is it not big deal and I am just getting worried about nothing?
2. Thoughts on Doktor Doom?
3. Any insight into more organic pest/mite control strategies would be appreciated.
