Nuke Em®:

OMRI-listed: For use in all organic gardens
Kills spider mites, leaf and root aphids, Russet mites and more
Kills eggs, larvae, juvenile and adult insects
Controls the spread of molds and mildews
Concentrated and economical
Approved for use on the day of harvest
Safe around people and pets when used as directed*
Will not alter the taste or smell of crops or finished produce
Does NOT contain pyrethrins or oils
Will not slow photosynthesis or leave a residue like oil-based pesticides

Flying Skull Plant Products is proud to introduce Nuke Em® to the gardening community. Nuke Em® will not significantly lower the photosynthetic rate of your plants nor will it obstruct transpiration through the leaf’s stomata like oil-based pesticides do. Nuke Em® has the ingredients to maximize the kill rate of pests while allowing your plant to thrive. Its unique formula also controls the vast array of mildews and molds found in gardens.

Is Nuke Em® registered in Washington State for I-502?

Yes

Is Nuke Em® registered and on the Official List in Florida State for commercial grows?

Yes

Nuke Em® won’t lower the value of your harvest like other pesticides/fungicides!

Be wary of insecticides made with oils because they plug the plant’s stomata which causes the photosynthetic process to slow. This causes slower plant growth and makes it harder for the plant to recover from insect attack. This is why your plants’ growth slow or become stunted after you sprayed with oil and detergent-based products. These concentrated plant oils include Neem, Rosemary, Soybean, Canola, et al.

Should I add a wetting agent to Nuke Em®?

Yes, we produce a product called Spread Coat which is OMRI-listed and formulated with Nuke Em® in mind. It is now available here.

Using a wetting agent helps Nuke Em® to cover the leaf’s surface more evenly increasing kill rates of the pests. A lot of plants’ leaves have a waxy surface which will tend to shed water, but by adding the wetting agent the leaf will get better overall coverage.

Pro Growers Note: Our rigorous studies have shown that nearly 80% of the time when plants are under a pest/pathogen attack it indicates a root zone problem! We highly recommend adding Z⁷ to your arsenal. It has saved countless growers from major devastation and made huge differences in yield and crop consistency.

I have an extreme infestation of spider mites, broad mites, Russet mites, or Cyclamen mites. What are my options?

We recommend these modified applications for extreme infestations of pests:

Before you spray, flush the plant site with Z⁷ treated water. You should have 20-50% runoff from the bottom of the container than what you put into it. Wait one hour before applying Nuke Em® to make sure the plant is fully hydrated.

MODIFIED APPLICATION #1 – Most aggressive takedown method.

DAY ONE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength and wait for it to dry. Spray a second time and wait for it to dry. Spray a third time and allow to dry.

DAY THREE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength.

DAY SIX: Apply once at moderate/strong strength. Check for any signs of insects in the following days.

Moderate strength: 6oz Nuke Em® concentrate to a gallon sprayer with 1-2 tsp of Spread Coat.

Aggressive strength: 8oz Nuke Em® concentrate into a gallon sprayer with 1-2 tsp of Spread Coat.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Whenever using Nuke Em® at a dilution rate more than the standard strength (4oz/gal), it is important to test on one plant to make sure no burning occurs before applying to your entire crop!

MODIFIED APPLICATION #2 – Moderate takedown method.

DAY ONE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength and wait for it to dry. Spray a second time at moderate/strong strength and allow to dry.

DAY THREE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength.

DAY SIX: Apply once at moderate/strong strength. Check for any signs of insects in the following days.

MODIFIED APPLICATION #3 – Use this method following modified applications one or two until no further signs of insects can be found.

DAY ONE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength and wait for it to dry.

DAY THREE: Apply once at moderate/strong strength.

DAY SIX: Apply once at moderate/strong strength. Check for any signs of insects in the following days.

Because Nuke Em® is a contact killer, it is particularly important that Nuke Em® contacts every mite and egg. Even in the best conditions with careful applications it can be difficult to get complete coverage on the first spray. To increase the likelihood of complete coverage we recommend adding our wetting agent, Spread Coat. Spread Coat does a great job of allowing Nuke Em® to penetrate deep into nooks and crannies where pests tend to hide.

Nuke Em® is not registered with the US Federal Environmental Protection Agency because its ingredients qualify it for exemption under FIFRA section 25 (b).

*NOTE: People with a citrus allergy should exercise caution when handling Nuke Em. You should contact your physician if you have any questions.

SAFE!

Hands down, this is the best fungicide in the world. Wipes out sooty mold and powdery mildew overnight. I have used it for several years and have gotten over a dozen others converted from dangerous chemical solutions to this natural product. I would give it 10 stars out of 5!

The best product for mites

I used this a year out of date. The consistency has changed a little over time but it didnt seem to affect the outcome. I applied this at the lower rate and it got rid of the spider mite problem with one treatment and this was late in flower. It didnt slow my plants one bit and by the next day you wouldnt have known it had been treated

Finally something that really works

Was just about to start self harming when the nice lady at the local grow shop gave me a sample bottle of nuke em to try It was a small bottle and I was sceptical I could cover everything with it but I managed to cover everything and kill all the uninvited guests and I still have enough for one more go at them if I need to I wasn’t aware of the info on the web site at the time but I followed the instructions on the bottle I stripped any damaged leaves and fully watered the plants and then sprayed them keeping away from any strong light until they were fully dry I did this 3 times leaving 3-4 days between spraying All my plants came out beautifully!! No more spider mites I used it on flowers and clones without any problems No oily films or funky smells Like zero I’m really amazed to be honest Bummer is my local grow shop isn’t a stockist so I’ll be after buying myself some more from Nuke Ems website directly Absolutely worked for me and I’ve had no real luck using other products until now This seems to be really gentle on the plants but it definitely kills spider mites Good stuff!! ??????

So far, so good!

I started out at the lowest dose to get rid of the spider mites and it worked for about a week before the little demons were back. I’ve blasted the plants twice with preventative doses and they don’t seem to be reappearing. Time will tell as the winter wears on. I’ll need to be vigilant with prevention doses.

Saved my neighbors girl

In Oregon you can grow 4 mj plants per household. Every year I tried growing in the garden my plants kept getting infested, trying neem and soap etc. until I used FS Nuke em. It flat out works. My neighbor is growing one plant this year and although huge and bushy it started getting spots and curled leaves. We sprayed his plant right before dark and 4 days later it looks so much better. No new spots or canoe leaves. If you want to nuke those bugs from your plants and know its still gonna be ok to consume this stuff is the ticket.

Mixing Rates:

Normal 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:

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.
Shake the bottle well before diluting into a spray or dip. 30 gallon drums should be mixed before pumping into smaller containers
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)
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:

Mix up enough Nuke Em® to saturate the growing medium.
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.
Turn lights OFF and use low supplemental lighting to see. This is best done at the beginning of the light OFF cycle.
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.
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.

MODIFIED Application for Broad Mites:

Nuke Em® has been found effective in treating Broad mites but now having said that, it is important to realize that these little guys are really tough to kill because you have to completely cover them with spray. You will need three applications of Nuke Em® if you are in infestation stage. they can be on the same day if you let each application dry before you apply the next spray.

DAY ONE: Apply one application at strong strength (lights OFF), wait until it dries and then spray another application at strong strength, wait for it to dry and then spray another application at strong strength. (Three applications on the same day allowing the plants to completely dry between applications).

DAY THREE: Spray one strong strength application of Nuke Em®.

DAY SIX: Spray one strong strength application of Nuke Em®. Let the Nuke Em® dry and apply a mist of Z⁷on the plants and let it dry.
