Eagle20 and clones

Hey guys I'm in need of some advice here. I have got a mother room with all these mother plants going but they all got a pretty bad case of powdery mildew. A lot of people suggest just throwing them out and buying new ones rather than take cutting from them, but these are very good plants and I cannot get access to them anymore so I can't just throw these away. I took cuttings from these mothers and they are now sitting in a dome getting cloned but from what I have read so far is that even though the clones dont look like they have mildew on them at all, they will get it sooner or later. I heard that these Eagle20 is kryptonite to powder mildew and people have nothing but great things to say about it when they used it on their PM infected plants, but my question is, if its ok to use the Eagle20 on my brand new clones that I just cut a few days ago. I just ordered the stuff and it should be coming in the mail pretty soon so quick help would be greatly appreciated. If you guys want pictures of what these clones look like I would be more than happy to show you guys what they look like. Thanks!

Dont use Eagle 20 it is banned for human consumption. It is also starting to show genetic mutations in mammals for several generations after consumption. You can spray with 1 part 2% milk to 9 parts water. Spray this every other day 3 times. Then you can folair feed with Potasium Silicate (I use Pro-tekt by dynagrow) and neem. Spray the Silicate Neem once a week. Powdery will slowly disapear and stay gone without using anything that will give you cancer and mutated children.

Eagle20 IS toxic stuff. It's a known reproductive inhibitor, so it's known to cause birth defects in animals. IF you decide to use it, spray all clones outside in a full body protective suit, respirator and goggles. There are safer ways to control PM, but not a lot of ways to solve the problem...Maybe that is why Eagle20 actually works, because of it's toxicity, but is it really worth it?

I've never used E20 on UN-rooted clones, so you'll find out.

Treat the mother plants, one application usually does the trick, get them healthy and take more cuts.

Follow the directions!!!!! Do NOT mix it stronger than the directions call for, or apply it more often than directed. You can harm your plants or yourself if you try and out think the manufacturer.

Eagle 20 ain't got shit on Fukushima.

Gear up with a resperator, googles and a tivek painter's suit. Spray with it once, water with it the next day. Good bye pm.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I already ordered the Eagle 20 stuff online and I'll take your guys word for it NOT to use it on my unrooted clones. For now, I will just spray the clones down with 1 part milk 10 parts water. I really dont know if the clones are in that bad of shape so I took pictures so you guys can tell me what you think. I also took a picture of another set of clones that I want your opinions on.

The first 2 pictures are the clones I had taken about 4 days ago. To me, they look healthy, but I dont know. The 3rd picture is of the clones that my buddy took about 2.5 weeks ago. Now believe it or not, the clones in the 3rd picture have ALL rooted, but I dont think we should waste our time with them IMO. Thats why I'm asking you guys. Tell me what you think. All responses will be much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: After doing a little more reading on other forums, I see where you guys are talking about how Eagle20 can be cancerous/toxic/mutated/etc.. But most people say that only comes if you happen to spray the plants down with Eagle20 during the flowering stages. I am still not going to take any chances, and I'm still going to use the milk/water method for now on the clones. It's just that if they get way too out of hand when we go to veg them, I think I might have to give them the Eagle20 using VERY low dosages (i.e. 1ml per gallon).
