       Brian joins us from Colorado after recently leaving a job with Success Nutrients and Three-A-Light where his responsibilities were helping people that were starting to use their nutrients dial them in, and eventually work towards that coveted three pounds of cannabis per light in your grow room, so he's got loads of knowledge on how to increase your yields! What's the one thing that Brian suggests that growers do to improve overall plant health? The energy and attitude that you bring into the grow room. Tune in to hear how he thinks about it and how it can help in your grow room. How do you increase yields off each plant? It starts with the plant health answer we just covered and then moves on to a few more steps. If you're not happy, your plants won't be happy - listen up to know what we're talking about.
