I’m hoping after rove beetles have done their due diligence there will be no larvae or pest left to worry about.. I’m not so sure that will be the case but I hope. Lady bugs for back up. Any other recommendations? Recommended IPM sprays? Thanks

I have been seeing good results with cannacontrol and pyganic alternating every other week. I try to get 2 sprays of each in before week 2 of flower.
Also spinosad sprays are decent.

then I also use sns209 I think it is. The systemic one. Root drench 5 days ina row during early veg. And again during flowering stretch.
All these options will not harm your beneficials

How To Grow Your Own Rove Beetles & Save Lots of Money By building a Rove Beetle Farm

A few years ago I got fed up with buying rove beetles. They are just so damn expensive to be blatantly honest. That being said, I also feel they are an integral part of a no-till growing environment indoors. They are some of the best soldiers you can have to help you defend against fungus gnats...

I’ve used all three of VT composts soils including their cannabis specific one when I started and have since found the growth in buildasoil (and I Imagine other better put together blends) to be much quicker and more vigorous. Personally I’d shoot for a higher ratio of nectars or even try 100%. Curious to see how this goes!
 
I'm about to make a mix of a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 parts fort vee to a part of pro mix hp. Adding in alot of rice hulls in hopes of getting a lighter soil.

Silica sand, is the only sand that provides air and drainage does not hold water. Greensand, always in My mix. It'll hold 40-50% water (35 minerals ++)
