Can I add my nutes to the water when I do my soil
Can I add my nutes to the same water I'm using to do the soil drench with? @obijohn @calvin.m16

Anytime I ever did a soil drench with anything I always used nutrients as well

You're asking the wrong question, you should ask if spinosad is systemic.
You can add it to feed, if you got something in the roots.
It's translaminar mostly.
Some insecticides/miticides have translaminar, or local, systemic activity. These materials penetrate leaf tissues and form a reservoir of active ingredient within the leaf. This provides residual activity against certain foliar-feeding insects and mites. Insecticides/miticides with translaminar properties include aba-mectin (Avid), pyriproxyfen (Distance), chlorfenapyr (Pylon), spinosad (Conserve), and acephate (Orthene). In general, these types of materials are active against spider mites and/or leafminers. Because the active ingredient can move through plant tissues (that is, leaves), thorough spray coverage is less critical when using these materials to control spider mites, which normally feed on leaf undersides.

I didn't have an IPM program. I want to treat the soil and leaves. I saw a few webs on the lower canopy next to the soil.
I just did the drench. I added some P and K at a 0-10-10, small dose of calmag, small dose of silica, ph to 6.53. There's enough nutes in the soil to bypass any extra N. I'm ready to flip but need to get rid of these pest.

If its a live bio-fungide or insecticide I wouldn't mix nutrients with it as it could kill them. Otherwise chemical treatments can be mix with feed.
For thrips spray and an inch of sand on the top of the soil should work. They dont typically live in the soil but sometimes the young ones go into the soil to pupate.

I have used Captain Jacks as a rootzone drench many times successfully. It's just bacteria (spinosad). I would hit roots and spray plants when I caught thrips last year. I have been lucky this year somehow. fingers crossed.
I used plant therapy many times in the feed water mixed with nutrients and sprayed on plants/walls/floors etc.
