Integrated Pest Management. Octopot Education:
In our third post on IPM we look at common physical controls, using biological controls (bios), and lastly chemical controls as management strategies of pest pressure in our grow.  Is all this a bit over whelming or above your pay grade?  We also consider what to look for in an IPM consultant.

Integrated Pest Management. Octopot Education:
In our second post on IPM we continue discussing monitoring strategies with key pests we should be looking for in our cannabis garden.  We also touch on some tools to assist monitoring and discuss the microbial side of pests.
Feel free to pause the slide show to get close up and personal in identifying these buggers!

Integrated Pest Management. Octopot Education:
What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and why do you need it?  In this post we talk about proactive control strategies to help keep your grow healthy and profitable.  There is a quote that roughly states, "the best fertilizer is the shadow of the farmer."  Although not literal in its application, it does speak to the importance of always being present in your grow, observing.
Here we take a "best practices" approach to scouting and the tools/methods to effectively identify issues before they become problems in your grow.  Then we scratch the surface of monitoring and consider what should we be looking for before things get out of hand.
