Yes sir Troon IPM is an Organic technique. Integrated Pest Management is an ecological theory of combating pests by building a strong environment and through utilizing natural amendments and oils, ect. to prevent and treat pests. It's based on understanding the environments we farm in and utilizing their natural abilities to resist pests. For instance by feeding certain enzymes or providing certain natural occurring compounds in herbs, bacteria and or fungi that consume or prevent insect larvae in soil can be fed and promoted as a natural management element. IPM is used in nearly all organic farming and is used in conv. farming also but with chemical pesticides as a step that we organic farmers exclude.
If you've never heard of Clackamass Coot and his methods of growing then Google him. BuildASoil is a great place for info and organic farm products. Check out these links and go from there.

A very basic but very effective method and great reading with links to teas and the likes. Also get fermented and botanical tea info and recipes by email. Read this entire page and it will bring you great knowledge on organic cannabis farming.

And to get more complicated yet with world class medicinal results check out this method.

These methods truelly due produce the best tasting cleanist hitting and super dank organic weed possible. I and many very good organic cannabis growers fallow very similar recipes.
Do a little research ounce you have read all of the above Troon and I think you may find yet another change in your farming style in the future. The initial inveztment in living soils is higher than conventional or semi organic but you use your soil forever and it only gets better with time. Also it's fully organic and sustainable. And you feed your soil organisms and not your plants directly so you early deal with nutrient issues caused buy mixing pre made products.
As for your old soil outside, if it wasn't used with chemicals you could make a vermipost(great schematics all over net) and let the worms reprosses it as to use again as top dressing or in teas. If used with Chems I'd say put small amounts in bags in trash over the long haul until it's gone.
Was unable to spray my IPM mix last night so am off to do that now. I have afew fungus gnats which have been expected as I'm just getting my soil life going strong this first run. After three runs the soil organisms seem to become very well established and adding worms and growing cover crops completes the habitat. Once this equilibrium is met and an IPM type system is routine the typical pest problems that hanker many growers are rare.
Be Well Troon

but I will be happy when I can finally use it. Plants are thirsty and look like they need some nitrogen. The pH should be fine but I have some purple stems? I've been pHing my water every water since they were established.
