Application Instructions
Foliar Spray: Dilute 15 – 30 mL (0.5 – 1.0 fl. oz.) per 1 gallon of water and apply as a foliar spray. Apply onto the foliage of the plant until the canopy is evenly saturated. To ensure contact with the pest, cover the under and over sides of the leaves.
Heavy infestation: Apply once a day for a heavy infestation and reduce applications to once every 3 days after infestation is controlled.
Light/Moderate infestation: For a slight infestation, apply once every 2 or 3 days and reduce applications to once a week after infestation is controlled.
Preventative maintenance: For preventative treatments, apply once a week from seedling/clones to week 3 or 4 of bloom.
For best results, apply with an atomizer and allow time to dry before artificial lights come on, or before/after peak sun after spraying.
Soil Drench: Dilute 15 – 45 mL (0.5 – 1.5 fl. oz.) per 1 gallon of water and drench the soil. Apply for 2-3 waterings straight then regain normal nutrient feedings. Apply as a drench once a week thereafter to ensure full control of root-based pests.
