Mixing Rates:ormal Strength spray is 1 ounce Nuke Em® to 31 ounces of water.

• Enhanced Strength is 1.5 ounces of Nuke Em® to 30.5 ounces of water.
• Strong Strength is 2 ounces of Nuke Em® to 30 ounces of water.

General Leaf Application Directions:

• Use the normal strength mix first, if needed use the next stronger strength.
• For complete control, 3 applications may be needed; each application should be 3 days apart.
• For cuttings and clones, use the normal strength.

PRO GROWERS NOTE: For infestations, 3 applications may be done in one 24-hour period. Some plants may desire to have the diluted Nuke Em® pH adjusted to 7 before for spraying. We do not have enough data to confirm a label change at this time. Should you wish to try adjusting the diluted Nuke Em® to pH 7, try it on one plant before applying to the whole crop.

Leaf insect and powdery mildew control:

1. Water growing media, pots and containers to leach fertilizer from the root zone and add turgor to the plant cell structure. No watering is required for field grown plants.
2. Shake the bottle well before diluting into a spray or dip. 30 gallon drums should be mixed before pumping into smaller containers
3. If growing indoors, turn the main lighting OFF before spraying plants. Apply in low light then turn OFF all lighting until Nuke Em® dries. (Nuke Em® is a pesticide, not a leaf feed)
4. If growing outdoors, spray on leaves on stems just before sundown or at the coolest part of the day under heavy cloud cover.

Root Aphid Control for Soil Growers:

1. Mix up enough Nuke Em® to saturate the growing medium.
2. Use the normal strength of Nuke Em® which is 1 ounce Nuke Em® to 31 ounces of water. Adjust the pH of the Nuke Em® dilute to the target pH desired in your soil. Use stronger strength if test plant still shows signs of root aphids.
3. Turn lights OFF and use low supplemental lighting to see. This is best done at the beginning of the light OFF cycle.
4. Slowly pour Nuke Em® into the soil. There is a space or pocket just under the main stem that harbors many Root Aphids and is most likely the main habitat for the colony. Normally in an outdoor environment, this pocket is protected from rain or runoff. This will be a hard area to treat unless you take the time to slowly and carefully pour around the stem where it meets the soil. Work out from there making sure the soil is totally drenched.
5. Nuke Em® needs to be in contact with the Root Aphids for 1 hour. Longer contact time is advisable if your plant variety responds well to extended duration. Before the lights turn ON, rinse the growing media well.

Pro Growers Note: Tests are currently being done to determine if Nuke Em® needs to be washed from the soil at all, or what time is the very best contact time for many plants. When we get this data, will let you know. Major university studies will eventually tell us the whole story. Should you decide to try the test of not washing Nuke Em® out of your soil on your own, only try it on one plant before you treat the whole. Let Flying Skull know what you found to be true.

Root Aphid Control for Hydroponic Growers:

• Ebb and Flow, NFT, Aero Tube
• Mix up enough Nuke Em® to saturate all of the growing medium and roots.
• Use the strong strength of Nuke Em® which is 2 ounces Nuke Em® to 30 ounces of water if your growing medium is soaking wet. If the growing medium is dry or moist use the normal strength. Adjust the pH of the Nuke Em® dilute to the target pH of your nutrient solution.
• Turn lights OFF and use low supplemental lighting to see. This is best done when at the beginning of the light OFF cycle.
• Slowly pour Nuke Em® into the hydroponic growing media. There is a space or pocket just under the main stem that harbors many Root Aphids and is most likely the main habitat for the colony. Normally in an outdoor environment, this pocket is protected from rain or runoff. This will be a hard area to treat unless you take the time to slowly and carefully pour around the stem where it meets the growing media. Work out from there making sure the growing media is totally drenched.
• Nuke Em® needs to be in contact with the Root Aphids for at least 1 hour. Longer contact times may be desirable if the plant variety can handle it. Always test one plant before testing the entire group. Before the lights turn ON, rinse Nuke Em® from the growing media, roots and hydro system before refilling the tank and turning Lights ON.

• Deep water culture systems may need a slightly different procedure for treatment.
• Drain the system and let the plants drip free of nutrient.
• Take a clean empty bucket and fill it with diluted Nuke Em® at standard strength and pH adjusted to your nutrient pH.
• Dip the plant and growing media into it. Submerge long enough for all growing media and roots to be saturated
• Replace plant back into the hydro system for your hour wait time. Treatment should be done in Lights OFF cycle.
• Rinse the growing, roots media and hydro system well with water before adding nutrient and turning ON lighting.

After the one hour minimum of contact in the root zone, the residual from the main Nuke Em® application (after being rinsed from the root zone) may be run through the hydroponic system to clear any threat posed to the plants from insects inside the pipes and tubes. Taking the plants out of the system while it is being flushed is advisable should larvae or adult Root Aphid be in the tubes, buckets or tanks. The entire system needs to be flushed before turning ON the main lighting. This procedure will clear dead adult, juvenile and larvae from the hydroponic system.

Powdery Mildew:

Some Powdery Mildew will take three applications of the Nuke Em® to fully kill it. We suggest treating all Powdery Mildew the same by making sure that three applications are made.

Maintenance programs for Powdery Mildew: Weekly applications of outdoor plants using a dilution rate of 2 ounces Nuke Em® concentrate to every gallon of water has been found to be successful in controlling most molds like Powdery Mildew. Nuke Em® should be applied immediately after rains or while in periods of water droplets formed on leaves after fog or dew.

Hydroponic System Recommendation: Using Flying Skull s Z⁷ after the Nuke Em® treatment is advised. Add the Flying Skull Z⁷ Hydro System Cleanser to every tank change and every 4-5 days if nutrients are being recirculated in flood and drain, NFT or Deep Water Culture.
