​how fast do isopods take over beds? and is chopped and dropped cover crop enough to keep em happy? I am looking to add isopods, not remove btw 🤣


turp symp​ @Zenthanol how do you attempt to match the pest threat size with the number of applied beneficial predators? I am interested in application for smaller indoor grows specifically.

turp symp ​I guess further question, where can we draw the line for beneficial predators. If someone is over run by say russet mites, when to throw the towel and reset, when to try to save it with beneficials?
