Lesson 5 — Cultural Controls (watering/spacing/air)

Goal: make the environment hostile to pests/diseases while staying optimal for growth.

High-impact cultural controls

• Water early to let foliage dry (avoid wet nights).
• Increase spacing when humidity rises in canopy.
• Keep air moving (fans / venting) in structures.
• Use clean water and avoid splash where possible.

Do this

1. Write your “watering rules” (what triggers a skip day, what triggers longer run).
2. Define spacing stages for 1g and 2g blocks.
