An instant classic episode today- good friend of the show Molokai Kevin debuts on the main podcast for the first time! Kevin is a multi decade cannabis grower who specializes in outdoor soil gardening- and is currently living on the Hawaiian desert island of Molokai. Kevin talks about how Hawaii has changed over the years, and shares some wild stories of guerilla growing and running from the law back before legalization swept over the state. He also discusses the differences between growing on Molokai and other islands, emphasizing the incredible power of the rich jungle soil on islands like Oahu. This leads to a conversation about microbes, and Kevin gives a history lesson his favorite microbial input known as BAM (beneficial anaerobic microbes) and how it impacted the soil growers of Hawaii. Kevin wraps the show by talking about some legendary Hawaiian strains like Molokai Frost and Hawaiian Duckfoot... GrowCast Classes (Coming to VA, MA, and MO!)

We are starting a whole new episode series about plant nutrition! Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show to explore minerals individually- starting with nitrogen! Nik explains how complex the many roles that nitrogen plays actually are, while emphasizing that 80% of your nitrogen goes towards a few primary processes. This leads to a conversation about the rubisco enzyme, and how nitrogen plays into photosynthesis and energy production. Nik also explains how nitrogen deficiency and toxicity work, and how too high levels of nitrogen can lead to nutrient burn. This leads to a conversation about how nitrogen moves throughout media and throughout nature- and how it acts when we water to runoff. Nik extrapolates on the difference in nitrogen needs between the vegetative stage and the flowering stage, and how the balance of nitrogen in the bloom cycle is extremely delicate...

Follow along with our viroid resource at www.growcastpodcast.com/viroid Contributor to the Human Genome Project and cannabis viral expert Kevin McKernan debuts on the show for a DEEP DIVE into viral cannabis pathogens! Kevin starts by breaking down the science of what a viroid is, how it differs from a virus, and what it's role in the natural world is. He discusses hop latent viroid in cannabis, and explains the mechanisms by which it replicates itself using the plant's energy, and stops the expression of desirable traits like potency, terpene expression, and more. This leads to a conversation about the hops industry, where instead they opted to breed cultivars that would carry the virus but resist it- as opposed to the cannabis approach of testing for viruses and culling any positives. Kevin wraps up the show by talking about tobacco mosaic virus, why it's so misdiagnosed, and just how many varieties there are of these types of plant virals...

Wolfman and Jordan discuss the story of how they originally connected out in Eureka California, and how Wolfman set up Jordan's Humboldt grow. The duo also discuss all the strains that were going around during their time growing in the iconic region, from Matanuska Mist all the way to Purple Mister Nice and more... Wolfman talks about his growing history, and how he got into the hydro retail industry to begin with. He also discusses how legalization has largely ruined much of what made this region great, and hypothesizes on the future of the industry and retail as a whole... *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients! get $50 OFF when you use code FOOPFIFTY on orders $99 or more! www.thefoop.com FOR A LIMITED TIME: CODE FOOPFIFTY at www.thefoop.com * *Shout out to Ohana Greenhouse Garden Supply!

Long time behind the scenes friend of GrowCast Tony G is on the show for the first time to discuss the cannabis culture in Sin City- Las Vegas Nevada! Tony shares his backstory which starts in the emerald triangle as he grew up in a traditional legacy cannabis community. He talks about the juxtaposition to enter the white market cannabis space- in Nevada specifically- and what the state has done well and what it's done poorly. Tony expounds on the state of home growing culture in NV, and how the laws tend to keep growers hidden and in low numbers. Tony also shares some tales of cannabis corruption and scandal in Sin City, including producers lying about using nuclear remediation to clean up their mold-ridden cannabis products before puttin them out on the shelves for Nevada consumers... *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!Certified organic nutrients, clone gel, mist, NEW BLOOM PACK and more!

Our Canadian friend and co host of the High on Homegrown Podcast Temple Grower is on the program! Today Temple joins us to share stories about growing in Saskatchewan, Canada, and how the Canadian cannabis culture has evolved over the years. TG talks about cold climate growing, and how to deal with the combination of short growing seasons, low temperature, and super low humidity. Temple Grower explains how the laws have progressed in Canada, with multiple phases of legislation that both legalized and re-illegalized many growers in the process. TG also talks about the grow scene, and some of the strains that are super popular to grow north of the border. Temple Growers wraps up the show by expounding on his own breeding (or seed making) work, having created some sought after strains after an very happy accident type pollination... *Rain Science Grow Bags the BEST grow containers on Earth!

Worldwide December is heeeeeere! That's right, today we are traveling all the way to THAILAND to discuss what's happening in the cannabis scene in Southeast Asia... But today's guest is a recognizable one! Our friend Potent Ponics Steve is currently working on a large scale grow in the heart of the Thai countryside. Join Jordan and Steve as they talk about the medical legalization wave, the ever evolving laws surrounding cultivation, and more.

Matthew explains the difference between a virus and viroid, and shares how those differences result in different behaviors between them. The guys talk about viral vectors, and how many different ways these pathogens can infect the plants within your garden. They also discuss specific viroids and viruses that plague the cannabis industry, like the hop latent viroid, which can devastate a harvest and leave buds dudded and lacking potency. Matthew also expounds on the tobacco mosaic virus which is known for it's visual symptoms- and while viruses like these won't necessarily kill your plants, they can be lethal, which is why it's best to clean your genetics through tissue culture cloning if you suspect an infection... *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * FOOP BLACK FRIDAY SALE IS ON!

Alexandria Irons AKA Queen of the Sungrown is back on GrowCast! Today she is on the line for a NO NONSENSE discussion about... Poop. Alex extrapolates the power of the great poop loop in this episode, the cycle of consumption and excretion that powers so much of our soil's mineral content. She talks about different manures, and how and why NPK ratio differ from species to species. Alexandria also addresses how to best incorporate manures and guanos into our composting process, so that we can safely apply the microbes and minerals in these inputs without worrying about tainting our garden with things like animal hormones, dewormers, and other toxins. Alex wraps the show by talking about a tissue culture challenge that she is putting on in her Patreon, and how viroids are remediated by this specific cloning technique. *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

Back again on the show is the one and only Dr. Coco from Coco for Cannabis! The good Doctor joins us after completing an in depth YouTube episode where he shares everything there is to know about LED grow light diodes! Those little dots on your lights mean a lot when it comes to the overall performance and efficiency of your light- and Dr. Coco shares the most important things you need to know about LED light builds! This leads to conversation about lighting schedule where Dr. Coco talks about how plants operate during the lights off period, how to switch your plants into flower with minimal stress, and what just how in tuned plants are with the rhythms of the on/off light cycles. Dr. Coco also discusses non 12/12 schedules, theorizing that an 11/13 schedule could in fact encourage plants to finish sooner than a full 12/12 schedule... *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * ---NEW PARTNER SD Microbes!

Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show for another cannabis nutrition deep dive! Today Nik joins the program and discusses how calcium is taken up and deposited by the plant, and what that means for cannabis growers. He contrasts this nutrient cycle to something like phosphorous, which requires less reapplication and isn't deposited into the plant structure the same way. This leads to a conversation about the different pathways that nutrients and plant phenols take, and how flavonoid production plays into the nutritional cycle. Nik talks about flavonoids, what they are, how they're produced, and how they end up affecting the overall cannabis consumption experience. The guys also discuss tea- the master of flavonoid production- as well as coffee, and what we can learn from these two plants as cannabis growers. *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * ---NEW PARTNER SD Microbes!

The one and only irreplaceable Marybeth Sanchez is BACK! MBS updates us on all the wonderful things happening in her garden as the end of the season approaches, and what she has planned for harvest time and the winter beyond. Marybeth tells us about growing outdoor full term, and highlights how different that is than how many growers operate with multiple back to back indoor runs. This leads to a conversation about long cures, and MBS shares how she appreciates a long cure with full term flowers so she can experience all the different evolution of expressions that come from aging. She goes on to talk about harvest, dry and cure techniques- as well as the flavors she's experiences from this year's cultivars like Peach Armageddon. MBS Also discusses some old school cannabis stories from back in the day before she wraps up the program. *Join The Order of Cultivation - 100s of Hours of Bonus Content - Personalized Garden Support - Community Events - Members Only Discounts - Giveaways - Join The Order of Cultivation www.growcastpodcast.com/membership * *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

Today's episode resource: www.growcastpodcast.com/microbecontrol Jason from Lighthouse Solutions and Filtr is back on the program for Croptober! Today Jason is here to discuss the optimal ways to approach cleanliness in your grow, and how to keep those pesky pathogens out. Jason dives deep into the different ratings and types of filtration systems, and also expounds on how these filters actually function and remove particles from the air. Jason goes on to talk about different pathogens and their sizes, including small airborn viruses and large dust particles that can carry other pathogens. He expands on the idea of both air cleanliness and surface cleanliness, and how they interact- which leads to a larger conversation about biofilm.

Matthew dives deep into the most common and detrimental pests that affect our gardens late in the harvest cycle- and how to prevent them. He covers all things bud worms and moths, including their breeding and behavior- which is crucial to understand in order to stop them. The bud worm conversation leads to a discussion about botrytis- which goes right along with the bud worm damage- and Matthew Gates gives us a great overview on how to avoid this powerful and undesirable fungus. Synchangel also touches on the less vigorous but still undesirable powdery mildew, and how to reduce the environmental stimuli that trigger this powdery pest!

Rhizo Rich is back again! Today we get an update on The Rhino's health and where he is at with his breeding work. Jordan and Rhizo talk about the state of the cannabis community as a whole, how it's intertwined with social media and Instagram specifically, and how the dilution of those platforms with scammers and bots is ruining both the social media experience and the ability for the cannabis community to interact. Rhizo also talks about his impersonator, and how they're still running a giveaway scam. This leads to a discussion about a recent breeder controversy, and brings up the question of whether or not it's moral for ex law enforcement to work within the industry. Rhizo also of course gives some detailed updates on the work he's doing, including some new strain reviews, an upcoming clone drop, and he even teases the next pollination from GrowCast Seed Co, which you may not expect... *Thank you to MIGHTY HYDRO SAN DIEGO for hosting our LIVING SOIL MASTERCLASS THIS WEEKEND!

First time guest and talented breeder Chemma Lab joins the show for an episode that was intended to be all about breeding environment, but Chemma was so easy to talk to we spoke on all sorts of subjects- from transitioning from growing for flower to breeding seeds, to what drives Chemma's work, and more. Chemma and Jordan break down how they approach flavor and taste testing, and categorizing flavors in high and low end notes- like sound frequencies. This leads to a conversation about all the "yummy" weed that people have been breeding for- driven by popularity and the consumer market... But Chemma and Jordan talk about the nostalgia for good old OG strains, noxious chem strains, and funky foul fucked up nasty cultivars. Chemma of course also extrapolates on the strains she has available for purchase, and what you can expect from her work with chems, OGs, and more. *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *BIG THANK YOU to The Coffee Joint in Denver for hosting our amazing Living Soil Masterclass!

You know her, you love her, Marybeth Sanchez is back on the main podcast! Today Marybeth shares her deep passion for outdoor gardening, and gives us some incredible tips on how to control your environment (as best you can) in an outdoor setting. Marybeth discusses the importance of mulching through the entire episode, and she emphasizes the variety of benefits it brings from shielding the soil from sun, to reducing root temperatures, and more. She talks about a variety of mulch options, and which ones you should and shouldn't apply to your garden beds. This leads to a larger conversation about root zone temperature, and how in an outdoor grow it is often most beneficial to focus on shading and cooling your POTS rather than your CANOPY. MBS also discusses shade cloths before wrapping the show, which percentage of shading is right for you, and when it's best to grow your plants under stippled shade instead of a full blown shade cloth! *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

The great and powerful Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com is back on the show! Today he joins us for our inaugural Habitat September episode- and the topic is all about environment! Dr. Coco doubles back and does some more in depth exploration of two hot topic abbreviations in the grow world: VPD and DLI. He discusses the misconception around DLI and how it's often misused as a LIMITING measurement, when in reality it's simply a TOTAL measurement of how much light a plant receives per day. Dr. Coco also dismisses some VPD myths, and talks about how some aspects of our environment are simply more important than others- temperature for instance. Dr. Coco also shares his thoughts on veg times, and how increasing plant count and reducing pot size for a quicker veg cycle can drastically improve your garden's overall efficiency and productivity. Dr. Coco wraps the show by speaking on his plant training grow challenge, which you can find at Coco for Cannabis with a category for everybody- even misfits and leaf strippers! *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!Certified organic nutrients, clone gel, mist, NEW BLOOM PACK and more!

Jameson discusses how hash making has evolved so quickly over the past few years, and which direction the global market is currently headed. Jordan and Jameson discuss good hashing strains, and some of the best rosin cultivars they have come across in their travels trying hash across the country. This leads to a conversation about home rosin pressing, and how home producers can implement some tips and tricks to make their home made hash higher quality, and yield better as well.

The great and powerful Rhizo Rich is back on the podcast- having just dug himself from the grave after a bout with the kahuna virus, the Rhino returns! Today Jordan and Rich do a couple deep dive reviews into recent strains that they've cultivated. From the doughy, sweet and syrupy Pancakes that Rhizo Rich just did an open pollination with, to the Hawaiian cultivars that Jordan just took down. Rich also discusses more about the GAWD cut that he was super impressed with during his pheno hunt, and how he will almost certainly be working with that female in the future. Jordan talks about the Molokai Citrus Kush and how impressed he was with the exotic yet non traditional tropical terpenes that were expressed- this leads to a conversation about heavy feeding cultivars, and how to keep up with those monster eaters in your grow tent! *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!

Great friend of the show Michael Box joins the program again for an update on all things Sustainable Village. Michael gives us an update on his bottomless pot tech, and how the team is still dialing in cap mats to work with this interesting plug and play soil bed style. This leads to a conversation about new BluMat technology, where they are allowing the carrots to trigger a circuit to activate a solenoid switch- allowing for a high outflow of water for irrigation... Michael discusses the new irrometers available on his website, and how they differ from a traditional hygrometer - being far more accurate at measuring actual soil water tension, but also far more delicate and frail. Finally Michael also gives us a little history lesson when it comes to the BluMat system, and highlights a story where the owners visited his headquarters all the way from Austria! *Code GROWCAST is now LIVE AGAIN for a LIMITED TIME at www.sustainablevillage.com - grab yourself a Blumat now while they're on sale, use code GROWCAST for 10% off!* *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

(Members check Discord for code) Alexandria Irons is back on the line! Fan favorite Queen of the Sungrown is on the podcast again for an entertaining and informative episode about biochar, microbes, heavy metals and more. Queen and Jordan talk about the presence of heavy metals in cannabis gardens- where we have to be careful of how cannabis can act as a bio accumulator and store these elements that are toxic to humans. Alexandria explains how they are both found naturally in the Earth's crust, and also find their way into our soil through the inputs we use. This leads to a conversation about sea products, and how they are often contaminated with high levels of heavy metal- though not always. Jordan and Queen go on to talk about bio-char, and how useful biochar can be in a system where you're establishing and regenerating soil for long term use. This leads to a broader conversation about creating an in ground permaculture type grow, and how some theorize the Amazon Rainforest may have been a permaculture planted by indigenous peoples local to the area from the past. The duo also discuss their upcoming grow classes, where they cover so much of this info and more, make sure to visit www.growcastpodcast.com/classes to see where we will be next! *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

OK Calyx is back for part two of his interview, perfect for Plant Health July! OK Calyx discusses some of his favorite natural farming techniques to employ when growing cannabis and other plants. He starts by talking about composting, and how learning to compost really led him down the road of microbiology forward, closed loop farming. OKC gives us some great composting tips, differentiating between static piles and turned piles. He also talks about some minimal turning experiments he is doing, to see how much he can speed up his compost pile with just a few turns a year. OK Calyx goes on to talk about JADAM farming, and specifically what JADAM means versus KNF. This leads to a conversation about his cannabis specific JLF- a water steeping based fertilizer that is made from cannabis plant waste. OK Calyx talks about why you should never let your plant scraps go to waste, tips as to how you can create a powerful cannabis specific JLF at home, and which input he has kept around steeping the longest. *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!

Sorry for the late upload everyone, hope you had a spectacular 4th of July! As we transition from Cannabis History June into Plant Health July, we have a wonderful guest on the line with our old friend Breeder Steve! Steve has been hard at work down in Colombia of all places, and he updates us on all the incredible cannabis advancement going on south of the border. He talks about breeding strains that work in an equatorial climate, and what traits he is looking to select for in order to have a thriving, replicable cannabis crop. Steve shares how he brought many modern poly-hybridized strains down to Colombia, and how some adapt to the local climate much better and more quickly than others. Steve then takes the conversation back towards his homeland of Canada, and gives us an update on where Canada fits in the global market scene. He also talks about the good old days in Canada, and what the cannabis culture was like when he was growing up. *Looking for a positive place to connect with other growers and expand your knowledge of cultivation?

First time guest and old school Oklahoma grower OK Calyx joins the podcast for an awesome episode about the history of cannabis in Oklahoma, and how it shifted from a harsh black market state to the current cannabis epicenter. OK Calyx talks about the days of growing underground, how hard the police were on cannabis, and how limited the genetic availability was to cultivators. He also talks about how he had to live in secret with his own medicinal use of cannabis, having transitioned from harmful pharmaceuticals and alcohol to medical cannabis usage. Calyx also discusses the breeding work that he is doing, largely revolving around multiple blueberry crosses- working with both the BlueBerry Muffin and Blueberry TrainMac, among other strains. OK Calyx has a "hard out" as they say in broadcasting- but assures us he will return for a part two soon to discuss more about his KNF work! *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!

The one and only Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com joins the show for an incredible explanation of the history of horticultural lighting. Starting all the way back with incandescent technology in the 1800s, Dr. Coco talks about the lighting advancements that took us into the 1900s like fluorescent technology, and eventually HPS high intensity discharge bulbs. Dr. Coco talks about the development of street light techonology, and how grow lights originated from this tech that was intended to put a lot of light into large areas at night. He also breaks down the exact differences between metal hallide, ceramic metal hallide, high pressure sodium, and more. This of course all culminates in the creation of LED technology which is now far and away the best lighting option- Dr. Coco explains why that is unlikely to change for some time, but also speculates on new lighting tech stating: it's hard to imagine what we can't imagine yet! *New PEACHQUAKE Pollination is LIVE at GrowCast Seed Co - experience the incredible Tectonic Truffle cross with the GC Cup winning Truffle Cake lineage, available now while supplies last at GrowCast Seed Co!* * www.ceogrow.xyz use code GROWCAST for all your bad-ass tent upgrades!

Friend of the show and creator of Jinxproof Genetics- the one and only Jinx is back on GrowCast! He and Miss Rose are on the line today to discuss some of the their awesome new crosses that are dropping soon, and share some old school stories from their time influencing cannabis history on the west coast. Jinx talks about the Seattle grow scene back in the 1990s, and explains how there really was no way to get quality cannabis seeds or cultivation education. He talks about how some of the most prolific strains that he crossed came from bag seed early on, but how Seattle was still hungry for more genetics. Jinx tells the story of how he met the late Subcool, and the huge impact that these two figures had in the Pacific Northwest cannabis seed scene. Jinx emphasizes the importance of head shops during this time, and talks about how the cheapening of the glass industry is driving out these classic venues, and depriving the next generation of an entire genre of cannabis establishment... *Illinois Classes!

*LAST CALL on Oklahoma Classes! Soil Microbiology Class with Queen of the Sun- THIS FRIDAY: Tulsa.... THIS SATURDAY: OKC... Visit www.growcastpodcast.com/classes and sign up today* Brand new guest and organic cultivator Harry Rose joins the show for the first time to talk about making hash, and NorCal cannabis history- as well as his place in it. Harry shares stories from the old school Northern California days, giving massive credit to some players in the breeding scene who created some of the world's most renowned CBD strains for medical consumption. This leads to a conversation about his precious cut of Ringo's Rose, which Harry almost lost at one point. Harry also discusses how important organic cultivation is to him as a person and as a grower, emphasizing that although he encourages people to grow in all mediums- microbiologically driven organic cannabis is his hands down favorite product to consume. *Double mid-roll ad was an error, not our new ad schedule* *Join www.growcastpodcast.com/membership - The Order of Cultivation.
