Integrated Pest Management - Part 1

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.
