Growing with my fellow growers #134 aka GWMFG #134: Chat q&a, testing seeds for breeders,  surprise panelists, crop cover, saponins & MORE    This week host @jackgreenstalk is joined by a mostly full panel of @spartangrown who can be emailed [email protected] ,  @Dr MJ Coco  of cocoforcannabis.com , @theamrericanone aka @theamericanone_with_achenes on instagram,  @brandonrust of bokashiearthworks.com for products, seeds and merch, @atgacres aaron the grower also joins and can have more info merch, plant packers (the best way to send clones!) can be found www.atgacres.com ,  @Zenthanol  on youtube matthew gates joins as well and can be found @synchangel on all social media you can support his patreon for access to private discord (https://www.patreon.com/Zenthanol) starting at $1 a month, @noahtheegrowa. joins as well.  This week we missed kyle breeder aka @pure_breeding now from pbreeding.com  This week the panel starts off with chat questions and answer. We received a relatively low amount of questions that tagged @jackgreenstalk or @cheaphomegrow and so we dove deep into one of the first questions which asked what breeders look for in a good seed tester, and what are some common faux pas to avoid.  Most panelist who grow seeds and have tested weigh in and share their thoughts on their own experiences and speculate on what might be best way to do it, and why some may be motivated to do things one way or another.  We also then go into talking about saponins in response to a question.  at roughly the 1 hour mark, Jack shares the zoom link with the live chat, and sour diesel tangie joins the conversation, shows off his garden and lights a bit and then we have some discussion about c02 and ppfd levels.  This goes on into some organic vs synthetic conversations related to that topic and also in relation to implications for the planet. after sour diesel tangie left, brandon comes back and we field a question on crop cover.  once we cover the crop cover topic for a bit, we have a few other special surprise panelist join, for the first time ever @chetterbob13 joins the panel and shows off his garden with a few great SCROGs and discusses his thoughts on living soil bed grows he runs compared with his sea of green (SOG) grows in similar/the same sized grow spaces, using very different plant count and management techniques.  Right at the very end crack babies DWC also joins the show for the first time and shares a bit about their grow, and lessons they have learned thanks to cocoforcannabis.com overall a great week with lots of chat involvement both in youtube live chat but on the panel as well.  We will do more of these in the future, so be prepared.. have zoom downloaded, ideally headphones (and a mic, even if its just your phone) we are happy to have new growers on the panel to show off their gardens and ask questions, and hope more will feel comfortable to join on shows like this in the future! growers love, always!
