Ducks, Dabs, and Questionable Decisions 

This week on The Circle, we mourn not having Stoney on and recap Freedumb Fest 2025—where the weed was fire, the ducks were fertilizing, and someone definitely dressed like Uncle Sam on acid. 

Plus, reviews on the Night Owl Hippie Slayer x Durban Poison photoperiod cross that'll slap you behind the eyes and glue you to the couch.Also: humidity struggles, moldy basements, and a heartwarming shoutout to the friend we all miss (Stoney ).

 Grow nerds, here's your hit:

- Why ducks and duck pond water might be the ultimate closed loop for your garden

- One guy dumped a plant in literal duck poop water—and the plant loved it

- Chaos garden update: 20 seeds in, 4 survived, and one grew taller than the grower

- Can autoflowers be terp monsters? Spoiler: yes- Tangy plants pollinated themselves during a neglect session. Nature finds a way.

Don't Flinch, It's Time to Penny Pinch! The Bare Minimum Grow: Soil, Sensors & Savvy Harvests

Alongside @reverend_pirate_frog, circle cohosts @howlingbuds and @stoney_alpinist, fill the gap @johnny__apple__ left behind for a special edition of YAG to present a multi-part series focused on achieving a cannabis grow "as cheap as possible" for cheapskates like Rev.

We focus on bare essentials, soil and moisture management, and what investments you should make now or later on once you have your first win.

The episode dives into the core challenge: establishing a bare minimum setup for a first-time photo or auto grow, starting from scratch, with a rough cash value.  For once, Howling Tech is the cheaper option!

Come sit back with The Circle as we talk about our gardening adventures, from new beds to upcycling soil, then dive deep into grow light technology, debating efficacy and the wild world of under-canopy lighting.
Plus, Johnny gives us a hilarious (and male-heavy!) update on his outdoor autoflower journey.  It’s good for a few quacks.
We also fire up the ovens for a sizzling discussion on pizza making (wood-fired vs. gas!) and reveal our ultimate favorite BBQ items, complete with expert tips for perfect pies and bean
Don’t miss our personal garden updates on various strains from Mass Medical, Sin City, Alebrije, Night owl, and more.
