In this week's episode, host Cian is joined by Jason Van Leuven, AROYA's Director of Applied Technology, for an in-depth look into the nuances of late flower cultivation—specifically, how to manage the crucial ripening stage and those last two weeks before harvest.
Together, Cian and Jason break down what "ripening" really means for cultivators, how to spot the telltale signs that your flowers are reaching peak maturity, and why dialing back nitrogen and chloride—but maintaining calcium—is essential for finishing strong.
They cover ripening strategies, trichome and pistil development, nutrient transitions, and common missteps related to senescence and flushing.
The episode also features thoughtful Q&A, tackling listener questions about replacing calcium nitrate with calcium sulfate or formate, achieving optimal ash quality in your final product, and the real-world challenges of dialing in irrigation and nutrition across different media and facility scales.
