Wonderful friend of the show Kristina from Bloom Healthcare and formerly from the Chrom Six concentrate company joins the podcast for the very first time! Kristina gives a little background on her history cultivating in Oklahoma, and how medical legalization rocked the state- and propelled her growing career. She expands a little bit on what it's like to hunt phenotypes from seed to solvenetless, and shares some stories about losing amazing cuts from years past. This leads to a conversation about a cut that has been discussed on this show before- the legendary Chrome Cut of Duck Confit, a cross made by Terp Wizard. Kristina talks about her duck's recent "happy accident," and how the pollen is passing all sorts of raunchy and funky profiles onto the progeny- with aromas that make you physically recoil. Those are some seriously "fowl" plants! GRAND PHENO HUNT ROUND TWO - Who will walk away with $1,000 and the title of Hunt Champion?

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?

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.

*ONLY TWO SPOTS LEFT for this Saturday's OKCalyxx Natural Farming Autumn Immersive! Grab your tickets now! 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.
