I want to talk about SOPs, how I integrate that with my IPM and best practices, Scotty. All right. How about that? We're going to talk about bugs, good and bad bugs, identifying bugs. IPM always made me feel fancy back in the day because I'd be like, I'm educated. IPM, buddy, do you know what that means? It's one thing to say it. It's another thing to actually do it, man.

All right.

We'll get into the tools of IPM today.

You got some tools?

Yeah, I was going to say this started by me hanging out and I was trying to watch football

yesterday, but it was terrible.

So I started scrolling the website and Sunny and Bektopia had something where she's like,

are these good bugs or bad bugs? And I figure we take a look at it. We haven't addressed

IPM in a little while. So there's great information on the internet out there and great information

than the DGC. We are the great information on the internet. Just watch the Dude Grow show, Scotty. Get entertained and learn. And we learn in public. I love it. Thanks for submitting a question, Sonny and Vectopia on DudeGros.com. Guys, our new site should be launched by the end of the month to where you're not going to have issues logging in and creating a bunch of posts and all that jazz. So stay tuned for that. But let's go to, is this a good bug or a bad bug right off the bat? Because she got a pretty good pitcher here. She's in a microscopy. Microscopy? Yeah, when I bought my microscope, she was, uh, uh, Bektopia was very interested. She's disappointed. I don't use it more. It's more just an ornament for me, kind of like Drake's chain. It just makes it, you like it. And it makes you look justified in the bakery. Like, damn, look at this catty's got a microscope. Yeah, when it has the dust all over it. But take a look at this bug. He says, well, good or bad. And even though it's a great picture, bugs have all different life cycles. And take a look at that. That to me, just from the claws, dude, that's two spotted spider mite ain't just got its spots yet right there. That's a baby. Basic things. I mean, this is an end all, but fast,

bugs moving fast around. It might be in the good. It's big. Start leading towards a good category.

Moving slow, bad. Thanks, newly from the comments. I know Maestro's comment on that before.

Again, that's not, you know that definitive thing i did notice

uh birmingham taro was asking where was this bug located and she said on the leaf now to me

unless i'm putting beneficiaries in there which are pretty damn small right do you find any good

bugs on your leaves i don't find any good bugs on my leaves. Maybe in the root zone, not on leaves.

Right.

It does depend, though, if you have been releasing, we'll get into IPM because some aspects of

IPM say release bugs, beneficiaries periodically, even if you don't have high insect pressures.

So you could, I mean, and Bektopia seems like the kind of person that might do that.

Well, she said it's bad in the end.

She didn't identify it.
