JP from Minnesota joins the podcast to talk about the progression of patent and licensing laws in his industry; apple cultivation. JP talks about the story of the honeycrisp apple, and how it shaped the future legislation of the apple industry and agriculture as a whole. He talks about his concerns for cannabis breeders, and the possibility of a total corporate takeover of the industry if patent and licensing law doesn't form at a grass roots level. JP goes on to talk about new apple genetics out of Washington State University, and discusses the incredible financial implications of the type of patent legislation employed. The conversation shifts to hemp, and JP gives his forecast on the current state of the hemp market, and a possible impending market bubble. Jordan and JP round out the show by discussing what the average grower/breeder should be focusing on when it comes to genetic patenting, and self preservation. ---Today's sponsor is Green Craft Distribution, the online hydro and CBD superstore!

Nik gives a good overview of the history of fertilization, from ancient people's following kelp blooms for fertilizer harvests all the way to the comparatively recent development of modern petro fertilizers. This leads to a conversation about how cannabis specific targets are a new and developing science, and how even now you can find some blends where the nutrient levels are way out of whack. Nik talks about the importance of calcium delivery and how Rooted Leaf differs from so many other lines- which leads to a conversation about the evolution of chelating agents, including a very interesting story about anthocyanin acting as a nutrient chelator. Nik wrap the show by reminding folks that Rooted Leafs HUGE 420 sale is on, code GROWCAST420 saves you 42% on ROOTED LEAF NUTRIENTS!

*NEW HOME HASH MAKING GUIDE AVAILABLE NOW FOR GROWCAST MEMBERS ONLY* Brand new guest of the show JLS Monster is on the program for an episode all about washing for hash and pressing it into rosin! JLS gives a brief background on what brought him into the world of cannabis, and how pursuits of certain medical strains for his partner led him to create his own rosin at home- and eventually end up breeding specifically for washing. Monster talks about what makes a good hasher strain, and how you can use your senses in your garden when trying to get an idea of which cultivar will do well in the wash and press. JLS walks us through the glove test, where he describes different consistencies of resin and emphasizes which consistencies do the best when it comes to return percentages. JLS also extrapolates on his favorite hasher strains, both of his own creation and also classics that he has washed with great success in the past.

Steve aka Potent Ponics returns to GrowCast for a podcast all about FISH! Steve is a talented and knowledgeable cultivator with a vast amount of grow knowledge, but today we are returning to his roots of aquaponics to discuss one of the most fascinating cultivation styles on Earth. Steve talks about the easiest ways for home growers to incorporate an aquaponics setup- the only setup that produces meat protein! This turns to a conversation about simply incorporating some aquatic microbes even if you aren't an aquaponics grower- this means adding something like fish waste, aquarium water, or even creek/pond water under the right conditions. Steve also talks about the work he is doing with the Natural Farming AI Chat Bot, and how the bot has been shining when it comes to questions that pertain to specific geographic locations.
