Green Source Gardens Farmcast

In this summer season update Nick, Liz and Ben check in about the happenings around the farm and start the episode off with a new idea, a Q and A segment! We address some of the questions that get tossed our way though Instagram and Email. This is something we would like to do from now on, so if you follow us on Instagram and we don’t specifically answer you questions, tune in the show and we may cover it in detail! The rest of the episode we touch on planting tactics, updates on our attempts to direct seed, our 34% THC testing result, mulching with wool, giant parsnips, plant breeding and MORE! We hope you enjoy the update. After the episode be sure to stick around for the cultivar review on the Cherry Lotus with Jesse Long.

We are releasing shorter “mini-sodes” in between our seasonal updates this year in the form of cultivar reviews, and here is the first installment! Join Elizabeth, Nicholas, and Jesse as they smoke the High Lama, and talk about their experience growing, harvesting and smoking this cultivar. We encourage you to find some in your local dispensaries and join along in the journey. This plant conveyed ideas about earth care, flavonoids, Buddhist monks, self awareness and Ruth Bader Ginsburg made it in there too! Here is a pic of Nick and our good buddy Danny at the top of the hill, standing among the High Lama plants!

Fall is here! Happy Equinox to everyone. The Sun is crossing the celestial equator and we are now preparing to reap our harvest of tomatoes, peppers, corn, cannabis and more!
