knats and thribs?


Hello!!, this is my VERY FIRST post here! So very cool!

here is my question. I purchased Merit 75 wp AND Spinosad to kill knats and thrips that have infested my veg room. I am in week 4 in veg and cant transplant until i kill these fuckers.

So heres my question, I know Im supposed to add these 2 products to my water and nuts but i have ABSOLULTELY NO IDEA how much to add!!!???

how much of these products do I add to one gallon of water?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi brettsilva welcome to the forum!!

I have never used Merit 75 wp, but I have used spinosad.
You do not mix in your nutes!!!
It is a foliar spray.

The brand I use calls for 4 tbl per gallon.

Read your instructions mixing directions are required to be there.

Good Luck :hippy:

AWESOME!!! Thank you very much Dreadscale!! ya man, I was about to pour it into my water/nuts. Close call there.

Ok, I got me a bottle to spray it. Im going to mix the Merit in with it. A double wammy ya know.

The spinosad I am using is the Monterey Garden Insect spray. It says 4 tbls as well. Is this just a one time spray? or do I have to spray it more often?

thanks Dreadscale

Don't over do it. Most people end up hurting there plants because of panicking over bugs. Hit them about every 3 days, being sure to spry the underside of the leaves. Most bugs have a 3 day egg cycle, so if you hit them about every 3 days you'll get them when they're young when they're easy to kill.

The easiest way to keep bugs out of your space is to use a No Pest Strip. They are like $7 at Lowes in the garden section. This eliminates the error in applying too much or not enough.
