Holistic Pest Control Strategies
Integrated pest management (IPM) is not a one-size-fits-all approach; however, there are common practices cannabis cultivators and hemp farmers can employ throughout the growing season to keep their plants free of unwanted insects or animals. Take note of these tips for indoor, greenhouse and outdoor growers for better control—leaving you with better margins.

Proper Nutrition Leads to Profits
Just like with human health, where we must balance our intake of sugar, protein, grains, fruits and vegetables, too much of one item can lead to imbalances in the plant. Providing a comprehensive nutrition checklist that contains all the essential elements is important to maximize plant growth. In this session, learn how to design or adjust your fertility program and what key principles to keep in mind to ensure a nutritional balance.

Manage Disease with Ease
In addition to stress from pests, disease—such as root rot, powdery mildew or other infections—can also be a major threat to your cannabis or hemp crop—and spread rampantly throughout your operation if left unchecked. Take these preventative and reactive procedures into consideration for successful disease mitigation and stronger, healthier plants.

Horticultural Lighting Insights for Cannabis and Hemp Cultivators
The topic of lighting your crop can get complicated very quickly. With so many factors to consider, from choosing the right fixtures, to lighting spectra, lighting timing, lightings’ effects on other controlled inputs, and more—it’s no wonder that cultivators and hemp growers spend so much time, money and energy determining the perfect light recipes for their crops. In this session, university researchers break down the latest in R&D to update you about new and emerging lighting strategies that can help you achieve desired yield, and cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
