// From the Episode
Panel discussed extensively. Jenn Doe (SPEAKER_01) emphasized contacting beneficial insect suppliers for proper diagnosis. Orius bugs need 18 hours light so they go dormant in 12/12 flower. Arbico Organics mentioned as reliable supplier with feeder mites included. Risk of overpopulating beneficials and swapping one pest problem for another. GML argued UVC will replace beneficials within 3 years commercially. Cost about $120 per 3 months for home growers.
