Organic gardening specialist and creator of Riverview Living Soils, first time GrowCast Guest Ricky joins the program! Ricky talks about how he got started in the cannabis industry, and what led him to create his own soil company. This leads to a conversation about home soil gardening and Ricky discusses some basic fundamentals that are a great starting point for home grown success. Ricky goes a layer deeper and also talks about some of pitfalls that home growers face, with an emphasis on data collection and adjusting based on grow metrics. Specifically, Ricky recommends using moisture meters to get specific readings on your soil, as well as using light meters to detect PPFD and make sure you aren't over saturating your plants- especially in veg!

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (CODE GROWCAST for 20% OFF) returns to the show for the nutrient deep dive series. This time we are moving away from fertilizer elements and taking a look at humic and fulvic acids. Nik picks up with his analogy about your plant acting as a pump- and he adds the carbon piece- meaning your plant is taking carbon from CO2 in the ambient air, but it's also sequestering carbon into the soil with the help of microbes in the forms of humic and fulvic acids. Nik talks about what this means from a grower perspective, and which situations call for fulvic acids versus humic acids. This also leads to a conversation about water dynamics, teasing the next episode all about H20 and how it acts.

*ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT for this Saturday's OKCalyxx Natural Farming Autumn Immersive! Grab your tickets now! Shawn from CBG Gurus is on the program for the very first time! He joins us to today to share his journey from academia to permaculture cannabis cultivation. Shawn talks about his background in ag science, and how his passion eventually shifted from cultivating type 1 flower to instead focusing on the benefits of ancillary cannabinoids. He discusses what it's like to grow boutique low thc flower, and how the genepool is so much more limited than the traditional type 1 hybrid pool. This leads to a conversation about processing these types of strains, and how difficult it is to find a good washer within the limited CBD and CBG dominant gene pools. Shawn also shares his thoughts on the benefits of CBG and how ancillary cannabinoids can alter your experience.

Check it out at www.okmushfest.com and come see us. Jacob shares some of the work he's been involved in since we last spoke, including looking at the concept of using cannabis leaf waste as mushroom growing mediums. This leads to a conversation about natural farming and soil life in general, as well as how fungi play into the soil food web. Jacob discusses a project he recently undertook where he grow a mushroom into an ashtray shaped mold, and actually made a real "living" mushroom ashtray. He wraps up the show by talking about some of his favorite culinary mushrooms and how he likes to cook them!

Jason and Seth from www.aroya.io and the Office Hours podcast are on the show for the very first time! High tech growers rejoice- the guys discuss how they got into the world of agricultural monitoring and eventually education and content creation. Seth and Jason share some of the issues that they work with large scale growers on, including dialing in their setup through comprehensive monitoring. This leads to a conversation about growing in coco coir, and how different substrate reactions can alter ones grow styles in more ways than one. They also troubleshoot things like input and output readings for EC, while factoring in other environmental metrics. Jordan talks about his new Aroya GO Kit, and how monitoring your garden opens up the ability to analyze historical data.

We sit down for GCTV once a week, and a QnA every other week- to make SURE that GrowCast Members get ALL their grow questions answered, and get ALL the help they need! Today's QnA covers things like end of harvest flush, and determining when your plant is senescing versus when your plant is just hungry in late flower. We also talk to a home grower who is working with small pots and using bottled nutrients- this leads to a conversation about runoff and how critical it is to understand runoff whether you're running bottled nutrients or soil. We cover a whole host of other Member Questions and give some updates to our members as well- if you want to catch EVERY QnA and EVERY GCTV check out GrowCast Membership today!!!

PESTAPALOOZA ILLINOIS THIS WEEKEND! Rockford Saturday - Frankfort Sunday - Use code GROWCAST for $20 off Dr. Coco returns to the show after a long hiatus- and boy does he have some great stories to tell! Coco catches us up on his recent travels, and his consult work with large scale commercial operations. He tells a story of a client who was dealing with sick plants, and the diagnosis rabbit hole leads down a variety of educational topics. First Dr. Coco discusses the importance of oxygen in water, and how many growers aren't incorporating oxygen into their feed even though they should be- even if it's just a simple shake of the watering can. He also talks about water temperature and why cool water holds more oxygen than hot water. The goose chase then led Coco to discover what appeared to be rice root aphids in the medium- this transitions into a discussion about biological applications, and translating the often obscure application rates to something that makes sense in a canna grow environment.

Apologies for the late update, we will be back on track shortly. Thank you to all my loyal fans

Today we have a first time guest on the podcast side- Aaron of ATG Acres joins us for an episode about his journey from legacy to legal, organic commercial cannabis production, and more! Aaron tells his story of growing up cultivating and how he moved around and crafted his style in order to survive legalization as a craft farmer. This leads to a discussion about his living soil oriented grow style, and how Aaron views the end of the cannabis plant's life cycle in particular. Aaron shares his pre harvest strategies, as well as a step by step walk through of his actual harvest and hang dry process. He puts an emphasis on lowering temperatures during his very particular drying and curing parameters, and making up for the slower dry time with a pre harvest dryback. Aaron also extrapolates on curing and storage- as well as gives some rapid fire strain breakdowns from cultivars currently running on his farm. The GRAND PHENO HUNT IS ON! $1,000 up for grabs.

Today Team Hygrozyme joins us for an entire episode about ROOT PATHOGENS. I cannot personally tell you how many times I've seen these pathogens misdiagnosed as a nutrient deficiency. Doug discusses his work in the lab where he starts by individually testing specific antagonistic compounds on living samples of these pathogens in vitro. Once he has found 3 or 4 top candidates for anti pathogenic substances, Hygrozyme enlists real life field tests to see if the new compound is effective when the rubber meets the road. Leanne gives us a tease as to what the newest product in the line is going to be- being dubbed with the amazing name "Hygropunch!" Our two guests also explain exactly what it takes to maintain healthy, clean root systems- and highlight the importance of keeping your medium free of necrotic material and other things that invite in the worst pathogens that you would never want to see in your garden!

Continuing our IPM theme we revisit with the great Potent Ponics Steve! Steve gives an update on his travels and his work with Copyleft, which leads to a conversation about the new Phylos seed drop. Steve gives his thoughts on the history of cannabis genetic patents, and the new controversies we face today. The conversation turns back towards Steve's amazing journeys around the world, and he regales us with stories of the worst pest infestations he's ever seen. From aphid attacks that turn into aphid farms, to having to battle elephants and hippos in Africa- Steve has seen just about everything. He also gives a great breakdown on IPMO, and how insecticidal microbes work on the pests that we hate most!

Pest expert and instructor of Pestapalooza Matthew Gates is back on the podcast! Today Matthew discusses how the health of your plant may or may not play into garden infestations, and how we often think about how pests take hold incorrectly. Matthew explains how simply interrupting the pests "economy," and reducing their efficiency, will be a huge step in saving your garden. This goes against the "pest decides to attack or not" mentality, and Matthew emphasizes the need for more data and studies on plants' abilities to resist pests of all varieties. Matthew also talks about beneficial insects, how to use them optimally in different types of setups, and how to incorporate them into your current IPM plan. HUGE ROOTED LEAF 420 SALE!

Nik gives a good overview of the history of fertilization, from ancient people's following kelp blooms for fertilizer harvests all the way to the comparatively recent development of modern petro fertilizers. This leads to a conversation about how cannabis specific targets are a new and developing science, and how even now you can find some blends where the nutrient levels are way out of whack. Nik talks about the importance of calcium delivery and how Rooted Leaf differs from so many other lines- which leads to a conversation about the evolution of chelating agents, including a very interesting story about anthocyanin acting as a nutrient chelator. Nik wrap the show by reminding folks that Rooted Leafs HUGE 420 sale is on, code GROWCAST420 saves you 42% on ROOTED LEAF NUTRIENTS!

*NEW HOME HASH MAKING GUIDE AVAILABLE NOW FOR GROWCAST MEMBERS ONLY* Brand new guest of the show JLS Monster is on the program for an episode all about washing for hash and pressing it into rosin! JLS gives a brief background on what brought him into the world of cannabis, and how pursuits of certain medical strains for his partner led him to create his own rosin at home- and eventually end up breeding specifically for washing. Monster talks about what makes a good hasher strain, and how you can use your senses in your garden when trying to get an idea of which cultivar will do well in the wash and press. JLS walks us through the glove test, where he describes different consistencies of resin and emphasizes which consistencies do the best when it comes to return percentages. JLS also extrapolates on his favorite hasher strains, both of his own creation and also classics that he has washed with great success in the past.

Steve aka Potent Ponics returns to GrowCast for a podcast all about FISH! Steve is a talented and knowledgeable cultivator with a vast amount of grow knowledge, but today we are returning to his roots of aquaponics to discuss one of the most fascinating cultivation styles on Earth. Steve talks about the easiest ways for home growers to incorporate an aquaponics setup- the only setup that produces meat protein! This turns to a conversation about simply incorporating some aquatic microbes even if you aren't an aquaponics grower- this means adding something like fish waste, aquarium water, or even creek/pond water under the right conditions. Steve also talks about the work he is doing with the Natural Farming AI Chat Bot, and how the bot has been shining when it comes to questions that pertain to specific geographic locations. If you want more content from Steve and Jordan, check out GrowCast Membership where he has hours of GCTV appearances.

The one and only Marybeth Sanchez from Team GrowCast is back on the program for an episode all about helping home growers just like you identify deficiencies with confidence! Marybeth teases some upcoming work she will be doing with us here at GrowCast to create a deficiency deep dive series. She goes on to talk about how once you've nailed down which mineral is lacking in the plant- the first step isn't always to just add more minerals. MBS shares the telltale signs of sulfur deficiency, focusing on where the yellowing occurs and how it progresses. She also highlights how this differs from the very rare iron deficiency- and how we can correct these different mineral deficiencies with inputs that are easy to find and safe for the plant. MBS also discusses why humic acids are always so highly recommended when it comes to improving nutrient uptake- especially when your plant is lacking in micronutrients.

Creator of Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST) Nik is back on the line for an episode all about heavy metals! On this round of our nutrient/element deep dive, Nik discusses the less desirable elements that exist in soil. Mercury, lead, cadmium, and more- these are the elements you DON'T want your plant to uptake or interact with. First Nike explains how these elements occur in nature, and how various industrial processes also contribute to heavy metal extraction and contamination. He goes on to talk about how these elements short circuit and interfere with the plant's ability to grow and develop properly- making them a major threat to healthy plant production. Nik also talks about how to lock up these elements within soil, and how chelation through the use of compounds like humic acids can lock away these harmful substances rendering them benign.

Michael Box from Sustainable Village is BACK and code GROWCAST is live for 10% off Blu Mats for this month only! Michael joins the program again for another banger of an episode all about watering and irrigation. Michael starts off with a brief history of irrigation practices, and how the brilliant ancient practices were eventually evolved into our modern irrigation products. This leads to a conversation about how water operates within a medium physically, and why it's more complicated than just measuring "how much" water is in your soil. Michael also recaps on his work with moisture retention curves AKA moisture release curves- and how water doesn't dry out of all mediums equally! Michael points out the finer points of understanding soil saturation, and how the different properties of your medium affect the physics within.

Good friend of the show Matthew Gates of Zenthanol Consulting joins the podcast for a TOP FIVE episode which covers the MISTAKES you should certainly avoid in your IPM practices. Matthew talks about the problem with improper scouting or even lack of scouting at all, and how people tend to bury their head in the sand when it comes to infestations. This leads to a conversation about proper treatment when you do see a pest, and how some people tend to only try and treat an infestation with one spray application. The boys cover some other big mistakes including not knowing the natural pest pressure in your area, and not applying pesticide applications to the correct area of your plant/garden...

Brandon Rust is back on GrowCast- apologies for the extra foul language as Brandon comes in hot while discussing the incredible injustice that is taking place in the Oklahoma Cannabis Community. Brandon emphasizes the need for the industry to organize, mobilize, and put legal pressure on the entities that are virtually extorting and destroying countless cannabis businesses, one after another. The conversation shifts towards Brandon's breeding work including the long list of lime work he's done- and Brandon discusses what he thinks about the classic topic of "old school weed vs new school weed." Brandon gives us a sneak peek of what's to come from his breeding work before moving on to maybe his favorite subject: humic and fulvic acids. Brandon talks about how these products are NOT created equally, the different processes they may or may not undergo, and how that determines the effectiveness in our gardens.

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST) is back on the show to continue our nutrient deep dive series! This time we take a step away from soil fertilizer elements and instead discuss PH, EH, and nutrient uptake. Nik talks about what PH is (potential of hydrogen) and why the amount of hydrogen can be used to deduce how available nutrients will be in the solution. Nik talks about the donation of hydrogen atoms and how chelation works inside a solution- highlighting that these availability processes take place totally independently of each other. This leads to conversation about EH, and Nik talks about the redox cycle as well as how oxygenation plays a role in plant health. Nik ties it all together back to photosynthesis and nutrient availability as a whole, and emphasizes how PH is NOT the only determining factor in nutrient availability, just one among other factors that may even be more important in certain scenarios...

The wave of cannabis patents ARE COMING! Today we have a brand new guest Caleb from Copyleft Cultivars- he joins us with mutual friend Steve Raisner to talk about the implications of patenting cannabis genetics. Copyleft explains his mission of open sourcing as many genetics as possible, while also building an open to anyone cannabis genome galaxy. Caleb highlights the difference between his project and other similar projects in the past- and how he is looking to reshape patent law both inside AND outside of cannabis. This leads to a conversation about patent trolls- people who engage in lawsuits around budding new industries and use lawsuits over intellectual property as extortion to get paid off. These groups are incredibly harmful to a variety of industries and cannabis is RIPE for this type of legal attack- which is why it's so important to open source our genetics. Caleb and Steve wrap the show by showcasing their new Natural Farming AI Bot that will produce answers and solutions to garden problems using natural farming inputs.

Good friend of the show Dr. Coco is BACK! This time he's on the line for a deep dive exploration of vapor pressure deficit. Coco recaps what VPD really is- an environmental metric of how "thirsty" the air is. This leads to a conversation about ideal VPD range charts, and how the charts give you a guideline to follow, but no specific instructions on how or why to achieve specific VPD in veg and flower. Coco reiterates that temperature is king, and you should never sacrifice optimal temperature in order to achieve specific VPD levels. The conversation turns towards what's happening to those trichomes on a micro level, with the pressure deficit or "vaccum" affecting how the plant transpires, grows, feeds, and maybe even how it dries and cures. The two wrap up the show by talking about the upcoming new years grow challenge, and the cloning side challenge where people are taking their best, biggest, and smallest clones.

GrowCast Team Member and legendary natural farming expert Marybeth Sanchez is back on the program! MBS is wrapping up her harvest on her amazing property, and talks about her full season cycle and regenerating her land. The conversation turns towards helping growers identify issues in their garden, and Marybeth shares some important tips on identifying problems. She starts by focusing on soil borne pathogens and how they attack your plant tissue DIFFERENTLY than nutrient issues. This is an important distinction because many growers misdiagnose a pathogen as a deficiency, and try to treat the issue with more minerals- which will only worsen the problem. This leads to a larger conversation about how to approach a deficiency in general, and how you should address all other possible solutions before just adding more nutrients.
