I do what I have to, to feed my family. I support many people and many people depend on me, so I can't mess around without pesticides.
If I didn't have to worry about money, then I would certainly try to attain a growing environment where successful organics could be realistic. But until then, I would recommend to all growers to use pesticides regularly. Again, that's only if you need to earn profits. If you're rich, then you can afford to buy the time to learn how to create a well balanced environment where pesticides are not necessary.
I totally disagree...
We grow for different reasons and probably look at life much different...
I do all the same that you do..family, bills, people rely on me and my meds I produce...
...yet I still avoid them, the only time I EVER used them was if new cuts were aquired.
I'm not rich, I'm a farmer, I'm just dedicated to creating the best and SAFEST meds for my patients and not being lazy to rely on pesticides. (I'm not calling you lazy, i'm calling the practices of using pesticides regularly lazy).
I run all organics in all of my rooms, big or small. I feel as if I use the benefits of mother nature to help me create an environment where bugs and mold are non existent issues. I use the same practices on my little 4x4 grow as i do my warehouses. Do it right no matter how big or small. To me if it can't be done right, the scale down...
What happens when the bugs you always fight develop a resistance to your spraying and you breed super mites that laugh at
Avid or
Floramite....
Not hating at all.
Cheers
