Roots and Reefer

Happy Harvest! Love, The Source


Listen Later

This episode of Roots & Reefer, we’re shaking things up a bit. Tune in and experience the magic that is a craft cannabis harvest. Your co-hosts, Wendy and Rochelle have all access passes behind the scenes of The Source's craft cannabis harvest.

A snip here. The sound of leaves rustling there, hear the sounds of harvest as if you were there. Imagine a room filled with 50 towering marijuana plants. Witness Wendy and Rochelle’s pure joy as they speak with a familiar voice, Arianna Pascoe, a lead grower, and with Brandy Hogan, harvester & Production Coordinator at The Source Craft Cannabis.

The amount of time it takes to cycle through each process in cannabis cultivation from seed to harvest to sales floor varies from grow to grow. Arianna explains that because Arkansas’s medical marijuana laws only allow for a small number of plants, it allows her and her like-family team of growers to pay attention to every detail. Listening, watching, and responding with intention to each plant makes what could be a monotonous routine into a 2-3 month cycle that brings new challenges and celebrations.

Harvest itself? The Source's team can harvest and hang to cure in just a couple of days. After about a week of hanging out in the cure room, the time consuming work of trimming the ladies to perfection begins.

Though the flowering female plants, affectionately referred to as “the ladies,” may be few in number, they leave nothing to be desired when experiencing a cannabis harvest. The largest plant of this harvest weighed in at a whopping 28 pounds.

At the end of the episode, Rochelle grows eager to smoke the freshest of fresh. And in just 2.5 months time (give or take), she would do just that.
