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 No outdated myths.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.
