Good friend of the show Miles of WeedShouldTasteGood is back on the program! Today Miles discusses all of the natural farming, education, and breeding work that he has been up to since we last spoke- and he gives some amazing tips on soil growing as well! Miles breaks down how the bacteria in his ferments work, and how he applies a variety of recipes to the same fermentation process to see their different results on cannabis. Miles shares some recent shifts in perspective when it comes to growing with these ferments, and he also points out several common mistakes and misconceptions that he thinks many soil growers of the world hold. Miles wraps up the show by discussing his breeding work, and highlights some of the new pollinations and hunts where he is working with both landrace strains and poly hybrids.

Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code GROWCAST) is back on the line to wrap up the soil nutrient elements in our Nutrient Deep Dive series! Nik catches us up with a quick recap and then dives into a few of the most important micronutrients, or the nutrients that are required in very small quantities. Nik talks about what those nutrient ratios should look like, and how minerals like Potassium will be needed in vastly greater quantities than the micronutrients we discuss today. Silica is first up, as Nik explains how it plays into cell structure and more. This leads to a conversation about Boron, and what causes plants to develop hollow stems. Iron and Manganese are next on the list, and Nik tells us what we need to do to ensure that these minerals are not only present, but also available in solution- highlighting the importance of proper PH, and understanding how nutrients antagonize one another.

Potent Ponics Steve is back on the show! Our good friend returns from Thailand to do some gigging around the US while Thai politics and turmoil shakes out in the cannabis industry. Steve tells us stories from his time doing large scale soil grows in Thailand. He talks about the different strains that he got to observe and experience while traveling the Thai countryside, and he talks about the different profiles he experienced as well as the interesting local names. Steve discusses the struggles of growing in the Thai setting, with heavy pest pressure from insects like thrips and more. This leads to a conversation about IPMO, or indigenous predatory micro organisms, and how we can utilize the natural pest devouring microbes found all around us. Steve wraps the show by diving into soil microbiology in general, and where he thinks many growers hold misconceptions. GrowCast Membership (bonus content, member discounts, member discord and more!)

[Re-uploaded with fixed sound] First time on the GrowCast Podcast feed- Jacob AKA OklahomaFungi joins the program! Jacob is a fungi expert and today he is here to talk to us about soil dwelling fungi, and why they should be on your mind as a cannabis gardener. OKFungi delves into the world of mycorrhizal fungi and explains to us what this classification means, and the many benefits that plants see from their presence- from making minerals soluble to transporting water and more. Jacob goes on to discuss trichoderma in depth, and why this aggressive fungi is so useful in the garden- and so damaging in the mushroom grow. This leads to a conversation about grow products, where OKFungi tells us how to distinguish different types of products and their potency.

Gates shares his thoughts on biocontrols in general, and talks about how we need to take a specific approach to selection and application of these products. He talks about pest killing fungi, and how different species tend to operate. Gates goes on to extrapolate on a few of the most common biocontrol sprays, including BTI, BTK, spinosad, and more. This leads to a conversation about biocontrol extracts versus living applications, and how things like enzymes and bacterium extracts differ. Matthew wraps the show by discussing specific applications of these species, and how to work them into your IPM schedule without having redundancies or knocking back your own beneficial bio controls...

Good friend of the show and creator of Bokashi Earthworks Brandon Rust is back! Today he joins the program to discuss dealing with extreme heat, nutrient exchange, and more. Brandon expounds on the important role of silica when dealing with extreme heat, and also emphasizes that having adequate silica available helps deal with both extremely hot AND extremely cold temperatures. This leads to a conversation about bottled silica products, and how depending on the form of the silica provided, you should be adding these products at different stages of growth. Brandon also talks about silicic acid and how the more processed a form of silica, generally the more expensive it becomes. Brandon wraps the show by talking about his Calsil+ and how silica plays with other minerals in a solution. NEW ROOTED LEAF LUSH GREEN!

Rich gives us an update on his new Apes in Space pollination, and we highlight on of his more popular recent strains, the Peaches En Regalia (named by Wolfman). Rich shares the different expressions he's observed in the PER as well as the other Peachquake crosses, and how well each of them seems to wash. The conversation turns towards taking cuttings, and Rich dives deep into his favorite cloning techniques, which lights and plugs to use, and how to apply additional nutrition early to keep your cuttings extra healthy. This leads to a discussion about adding compost into your soil mixes early, and which composts on the market are some of the most active and effective.

Rooted Leaf Nutrients has BOOSTED code GROWCAST to 30% discount for AUGUST ONLY! Nik is back to discuss possibly the most important soil fertilizer nutrient for cannabis: Potassium! Nik extrapolates on the incredible variety of biological processes that require potassium within our cannabis plants, and how it's a crucial building block when it comes to producing the compounds that we care about in the trichome head. Nik also expounds on the link between potassium expenditure and the plant's ability to take up  water- which leads him to reiterate the importance of water uptake when it comes to hydrogen utilization during terpene and cannabinoid synthesis. Nik wraps up the show talking about balancing potassium, and how it's less important to continue to add potassium- and more important to make sure it's applied in the correct ratios.

Grower Joe from The Basement Grow Show joins us for the first time on GrowCast Podcast! Joe is here to share his personal journey into cannabis cultivation, and what eventually led him to be a cannabis content creator full time. Joe talks about growing up in Canada, and how cannabis was treated pre legalization. This leads to a conversation about how wild the legalization of cannabis was in Canada, and the strange differences to compare to USA- such as the ability, and at times requirement, to mail cannabis through the postal system. Joe tells us all about what good weed was like growing up north of the border, and how now that cannabis culture has expanded they are running many of the same strains as us in the states. Grower Joe also breaks down his MUST HAVE items in the grow room, including his very favorite electrostatic sprayer by Petra Tools.

Identifying issues quickly and accurately in your grow can be the difference between a successful harvest, and total crop loss- on this episode of GrowCast, fan favorite Marybeth Sanchez joins the program to help you identify FOUR COMMON PROBLEMS that plague growers. MBS starts with two common deficiencies: magnesium, and potassium- she walks us through how to accurately ID these issues, why they are important to address, and how to quickly fix them. This leads to a larger conversation about making sure that everything else is dialed in before adding more nutrients- being sure to optimize your temperature, humidity, watering, and light saturation before piling on more minerals. MBS then informs us how to identify and treat septoria, a nasty plant pathogen that can devastate a crop. MBS rounds out the show by talking about an insidious pest that could be lurking in your garden without you even knowing it... www.thefoop.com CODE GROWCAST20 for 20% OFF ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT!

Great friend of the show OKCalyxx is back again on GrowCast Podcast! Today he is here to discuss his preparations for a potentially blazing summer, followed by a cooling autumn season. Calyxx highlights the importance of avoiding mold and mildew during the hot muggy summer months, with an an emphasis on the need to properly prune your plants right around flowering time. Avoiding heat in the summer is also critical, and getting those shade cloths up can be a life saver. OKCalyxx goes on to say just because the fall and winter comes quickly, don't let that stop your natural farming work. Prepping for winter, and then working throughout winter to prep for the new year- that's the secret to natural farming success. Calyxx wraps the show by talking about the crosses that he is currently working on, including some work with our own Peach Dosi which was born from GrowCast Membership using Rhizo Rich's Peach Pie Dumpster Cut pollen.

As we continue our nutrient deep dives, Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show to discuss all things SULFUR! From it's role as an antioxidant to how it moves in nature, Nik let's us know what we need to know about this important mineral. Nik talks about how sulfur is not needed in as high as quantity as one might think, but he emphasizes that your plant will require more sulfur in order to deal with stressors- stressors like increase in light saturation, environmental pressure, and more. This leads to a conversation about how sulfur is truly utilized as the main anti oxidant within plants, and how it affects the redox cycle. Nik also discusses the important compounds known as thiols- which are not only the molecules that could shift a plant's aroma into the realm of skunk, but are also utilized within the plant's growth process itself...

He also talks about different types of OHN, and not being afraid to switch up ingredients depending on your need. This leads to a conversation about some of his other experiments, incuding his bokashi input tests. From bo-coffee, to poo-kashi, OKC explains how these different materials work when being innoculated by the fermentation process. Calyxx also talks about his bamboo IMO, and even talks about the natural function of bamboo sticks themselves, acting as a carrier for the IMO collection and easily stored into a bamboo imo spear!

BLU MAT 10% off APRIL ONLY: use code GROWCAST at www.sustainablevillage.com The great Doctor Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com is back on the show for an episode about optimal consistent environments, and maximizing your grow space production. Coco starts by diving deeper into some concepts that have been brought up on the show before- specifically the idea of increasing your productivity per square foot by adding more plants and vegging them for less time. While this isn't an optimal method for those in low plant count situations, the idea of only vegging for a short period of time not only increases overall production- but also reduces manual labor and labor costs... Doctor Coco also discusses the importance of consistency, calling back to an episode where he had discussed leaving your plants alone as much as possible. This leads to an interesting conversation about how it's even more important to leave your plant alone the later in life it advances. The conversation turns towards harvest, and Coco has an interesting take to share when it comes to the differences in home grown harvests depending on the season in which you're cutting down...

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST for 20% off) is BACK for another installment of his nutrient deep dive - this time focusing on phosphorous and magnesium. Nik shares his beliefs around the myth of the PK booster, and why phosphorous has been mislabeled as a nutrient that should be overapplied during the flowering stage. Nik instead encourages to think more about the relationship between MAGNESIUM and phosphorous, tracing these minerals all the way back to the very beginning of the photosynthetic process- where magnesium helps capture energy from light and transfers into the tri-phosphate bond known as ATP. Nik extrapolates on what this means to us cannabis growers, and how we can maximize our plants biomass production when we full understand the link between magnesium, phosphorous, and light intensity.

Michael Box is back on the show for quite possibly the best episode he has appeared on yet- today's episode is all about dialing in the PERFECT watering technique and moisture ratio, tips for Blumats, and the best way to care for your reservoirs. Michael explains the concept of moisture retention curve, as he has been diving deep into exactly how drybacks occur and what the perfect pressure is in your specific media. This leads to a conversation about different moisture retention curves in coco vs soil for instance, and how the constituents of your media will heavily affect the optimal mbar reading. Michael gives some amazing tips for using the Blumat automated watering system (my favorite system, code GROWCAST now active again for April) including how to reset your moisture meters, how to dial in your blumats before you even put them into your soil, and the best way to run nutrition through a Blumat system. Michael wraps up the show by sharing the do's and dont's of maintaining a reservoir- covering enzymes, nutrients, microbes and more! Community Cup: Oklahoma!

Wife of the late great Frenchy Cannoli is on the program for an incredible episode about traditional hashish, stories from Frenchy's past, and the upcoming documentary Frenchy Dreams of Hashish! Madame shares some personal stories about Frenchy and his mission, as well as what he was immersing himself in just before his passing. This leads to a larger conversation about the direction the cannabis community is headed, and how the hashish culture has changed at warp-speed over the past few decades (especially in North America). Kimberly opens up about producing the new Frenchy Dreams of Hashish documentary, and how that project changed and evolved during the time of production. Madame also talks about her time in Japan, and what her upcoming schedule looks like with the doc tour! GrowCast Membership (bonus content, member discounts, member discord and more!)

PESTAPALOOZA! is coming to Long Island and San Diego! All day Pest Fest with Matthew Gates and Jordan River - In depth IPM Class - QnA Learn n' Burn - Fully Catered Afterparty - Gift bag LOADED with goodies! Grab your early bird pricing tickets today!* World renowned cannabis IPM expert Matthew Gates is back on the show to do an in depth exploration of all things RUSSET MITES. These worm-like little creatures wreak havoc on your grow and can cause total crop loss if not handled correctly. Matthew gates talks about mites in general and how they behave, as well as the differences between the two most common cannabis oriented microscopic mites- broad mites and russet mites. This turns the conversation towards insect identification, and Matthew shares exactly how to identify the worm shaped russet mite under a scope, as well as the fatter, football shaped broad mite. Actual plant symptoms are also discussed, with the first infected plants to exhibit the worst leaf clawing, warping and twisting - followed by the telltale "rust" that accompanies the russet mite (sometimes also called the rust mite). Synchangel also extrapolates on how these microscopic mites breed, highlighting the importance of understanding the reproductive cycle of the pest you're trying to combat. Dormancy and hibernation is a threat as well, with the russet mite producing a particular type of female when environmental factors are reached that allow the population to overwinter. Matthew wraps the show by talking about environmental factors such as heat influencing how fast the pests in your tent reproduce- and how fast they decimate your precious flowers...

Second generation horticulturalist and talented grower of all types of plants Kyle from The FOOP is on the show! Today Kyle is here to talk about both indoor and super large scale veggie production, home grower tips, soil mixes and more. Kyle shares what he thinks are the TOP THREE best veggies to transition into for a home cannabis grower- and how you can craft a grow style that works for multiple species of plants. The conversation turns towards home cannabis growing, and Kyle shares his super simple grow style based around Pro Mix, some dry amendments, and FOOP. Kyle also emphasizes the importance of proper watering technique for home growers, with many growers hampering themselves by either overwatering and suffocating their plants OR underwatering them- worrying about runoff- and leaving the bottom of their pots dry.

⚠️ROCKFORD BREEDER CLASS THIS WEEKEND! Grab your tickets now Illinois: www.growcastpodcast.com/breederclass Cannabis activist and independent journalist Grant Smith-Ellis is on the program to discuss some recent revelations that have come to light regarding a powerful brand in the cannabis space- who has previously positioned themselves against homegrow; Curaleaf. Grant expounds on the now multiple investigations that have been launched into this company from multiple states- highlighting alleged employee testimony citing the use of nuclear remediation machines without proper certifcation or proper protective gear, unlicensed testing of new products on employees of Curaleaf, and maybe the biggest rabbit hole of all... The alleged link between the investment capital behind Curaleaf, and the oligarchs of Russia... While it's important to focus on cultivation education and our mission of overgrow, we must also keep an eye on those who have actively stood against home grow rights- and do our best to prevent those efforts!

The one and only Wolfman is back on the line and this time he brings his friend Sean from Cutting Edge Solutions! Wolfman catches us up on all his recent travels and exploits, and gives us the backstory on what finally brought him to work with Cutting Edge Solutions. Sean and Wolfman talk about how the west coast market is rapidly changing, with pack prices plummeting and cultivators fleeing states like Oregon and California due to an inability to stay afloat. The conversation turns towards breeders, and how the legacy cultivator and the legacy breeder are becoming more and more endandgered. Conversely, other countries around the world are coming online, and are building their cannabis industry in ways that are much more effective and efficient than how we've done it in North America. Home grow laws, free international trade- these are the methods that countries like Columbia are employing to build a better legal market... And North America may end up being left behind entirely...

Today we have the one and only Cap'n from Seattle Chronic Seeds on the line for a return feature after over a year away from the show. Seattle Chronic Seeds updates us on what he's been up to over the past year plus, the move from Seattle to Oklahoma, and the breeding projects that he's been focusing on. SCS talks about returning to his roots of passion breeding projects after spending some time on the cultivation side of things in Oklahoma. He expounds on his work studying varins, and breeding for these specific cannabinoids like THCV and CBDV. He goes on to explain some of the known medical science behind these compounds, and why they can be so beneficial.

Nik from Rooted Leaf is BACK to continue our individual nutrient explorations- this time focusing on CALCIUM. Nik explains how calcium is absorbed and utilized by the plant, and how cannabis calcium consumption changes throughout the cannabis grow cycle. He goes on to expound on different forms of applicable calcium, and compares the sources based on solubility, nitrogen content, and more. Nik goes on to explain a few mind blowing phenomena involving calcium; the first being the intracellular exchange of calcium - making it pretty agile for an immobile nutrient - and also the production of calcium waves that originate from a point of stress and ripple throughout the plants entire cellular being. Nik also talks about the upcoming INDUSTRY NIGHT and GROW CLASS (with Jordan River speaking) which you can find tickets to at www.rootedleaf.com (code growcast for 20% off products) GrowCast Classes (IL Breeding Workshop on sale now!
