A guide created for growers who want to truly understand what they’re doing when they irrigate.
 
“Irrigation Strategy” by Julien Ricco, founder of Botafarm California, breaks down modern irrigation management in a clear, practical, and grower-focused way. This is not just another feeding chart or watering schedule — it’s a complete approach to crop steering, drybacks, EC management, climate control, and root zone performance.  
 
Inside the book, you’ll learn:
 
• how to control vegetative and generative growth
• how to properly manage drybacks
• how irrigation timing, frequency, and volume affect plant behavior
• how to avoid the most common mistakes limiting yield and quality
• how VPD, climate, and irrigation all work together
• how to push plants toward higher quality, resin production, and consistency
 
Everything is explained in a simple, direct, and actionable way — whether you’re running a small indoor tent or a commercial facility.
 
No fluff. No outdated myths.
Just modern cultivation knowledge based on real-world experience from California grows.
 
This book is made for growers who want to stop watering blindly… and start truly steering their crops.
