Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com returns the to show for an incredibly informative episode in a new series where we examine the major differences between indoor and outdoor growing. Today we start with maybe the most significant difference that you can image: the difference between the sun, and the grow light in your home grow setup. Dr. Coco discusses the concept of light spectrum, and how grow light technology has evolved to have two main peak points of light within the full spectrum. This differs, he explains, from the incredibly full and rich spectrum of the sun- which Dr. Coco says is not truly replicable by any modern light tech. This leads to a conversation about UV light, which Dr. Coco isn't a huge fan of... Which begs the question, if the sun is so different from our grow light, how important is that difference anyways?

First time guest but long time friend of the show Jeremy from Elevated STL joins the program to describe some of the amazing crosses he's made - such as Cold Case - and share his journey from cannabis enthusiast to full time breeder. Jeremy shares the story behind the creation of Cold Case, which I can personally only describe as the best Trop Cookies you've never had. He goes on to talk about the crosses that work led to and beyond, including the Murder Weapon and Murder Ape. The boys talk about Snub Noze and how the lineage of Gary Peyton and Permanent Marker are both some of their favorite modern building blocks. Jeremy also gives some great tips on home breeding, specifically how to use reversal sprays with success.GrowCast Membership Weekly Live Streams - Personal Garden Advice- 100s of HOURS of Bonus Content - MEMBERS ONLY DISCOUNTS!

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.

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.GrowCast Membership Weekly Live Streams - Personal Garden Advice- 100s of HOURS of Bonus Content - MEMBERS ONLY DISCOUNTS!

Our friend Jacob from Oklahoma Fungi returns to the show! He has the big OK MushFest coming up on October 12th and 13th, where GrowCast will be appearing! 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.

This leads to a discussion about the importance of iron when it comes to a healthy soil system, and Brandon elaborates as to how important iron is to cannabis.

Our good friend Miles from WeedShouldTasteGood returns to the program for a long awaited second appearance! Miles gives us an update on all his amazing travels over the past year or so, and promotes an upcoming Build a Soil Days event at the BAS headquarters in November (which GC plans to attend). Miles shares his breeding philosophy with us, and talks about how his goals and values as a breeder have evolved over the years. He talks about his new Mesa 2.0 line and all the work he's done with that cross. He also expands on his landrace work, and speaks on the differences between the genepools that he's been fortunate enough to tap into. Miles goes on to discuss plant ferments with us- specifically highlighting some of his favorite plants to incorporate like comfrey. He wraps up the show by talking about his newer ferments, and what might be up next in his premium line Fermented Plant Extracts.

Today's episode is audio from a Members Only QnA Stream we do for GrowCast Members every other weekend! 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.

Today he is here to discuss all the happenings on regenerative plot of land, and share some great natural farming advice with us!

This leads to a conversation about natural systems, and how engaging in them can bring you peace and health. Calyxx focuses in on some of his recent ferment work, and discusses in depth his use of horsetail FPE. He also updates on his now years old manure extract, and how these natural inputs are making an impact on his garden.
