Today we have a first time guest on the podcast side- Aaron of ATG Acres joins us for an episode about his journey from legacy to legal, organic commercial cannabis production, and more! Aaron tells his story of growing up cultivating and how he moved around and crafted his style in order to survive legalization as a craft farmer. This leads to a discussion about his living soil oriented grow style, and how Aaron views the end of the cannabis plant's life cycle in particular. Aaron shares his pre harvest strategies, as well as a step by step walk through of his actual harvest and hang dry process. He puts an emphasis on lowering temperatures during his very particular drying and curing parameters, and making up for the slower dry time with a pre harvest dryback. Aaron also extrapolates on curing and storage- as well as gives some rapid fire strain breakdowns from cultivars currently running on his farm.  The GRAND PHENO HUNT IS ON! $1,000 up for grabs.

Be sure to follow @hygrozyme on Instagram and hit their newest post to enter the giveaway!! www.instagram.com/hygrozyme  After a hit first episode, Doug and Leanne from Hygrozyme are BACK! Today Team Hygrozyme joins us for an entire episode about ROOT PATHOGENS. I cannot personally tell you how many times I've seen these pathogens misdiagnosed as a nutrient deficiency. Doug discusses his work in the lab where he starts by individually testing specific antagonistic compounds on living samples of these pathogens in vitro. Once he has found 3 or 4 top candidates for anti pathogenic substances, Hygrozyme enlists real life field tests to see if the new compound is effective when the rubber meets the road. Leanne gives us a tease as to what the newest product in the line is going to be- being dubbed with the amazing name "Hygropunch!" Our two guests also explain exactly what it takes to maintain healthy, clean root systems- and highlight the importance of keeping your medium free of necrotic material and other things that invite in the worst pathogens that you would never want to see in your garden!

Continuing our IPM theme we revisit with the great Potent Ponics Steve! Steve gives an update on his travels and his work with Copyleft, which leads to a conversation about the new Phylos seed drop. Steve gives his thoughts on the history of cannabis genetic patents, and the new controversies we face today. The conversation turns back towards Steve's amazing journeys around the world, and he regales us with stories of the worst pest infestations he's ever seen. From aphid attacks that turn into aphid farms, to having to battle elephants and hippos in Africa- Steve has seen just about everything. He also gives a great breakdown on IPMO, and how insecticidal microbes work on the pests that we hate most!

Pest expert and instructor of Pestapalooza Matthew Gates is back on the podcast! Today Matthew discusses how the health of your plant may or may not play into garden infestations, and how we often think about how pests take hold incorrectly. Matthew explains how simply interrupting the pests "economy," and reducing their efficiency, will be a huge step in saving your garden. This goes against the "pest decides to attack or not" mentality, and Matthew emphasizes the need for more data and studies on plants' abilities to resist pests of all varieties. Matthew also talks about beneficial insects, how to use them optimally in different types of setups, and how to incorporate them into your current IPM plan.  HUGE ROOTED LEAF 420 SALE!

Rhizo Rich is back on the program for another top 5 episode- this time we're focusing on things that you AREN'T doing in your garden, but probably should be. Whether you're still relying on your finger test or lift test instead of using a moisture meter, or you don't have any form of automated watering so you never ever get a break from your garden- these are things you could implement to totally up-level your gardening game and more importantly, balance your life! One of the TOP things I don't see people doing is using protective equipment in their grow... Don't burn out your eyeballs on those powerful grow lights. Don't inhale all those nasty soil inputs and perlite dust. Get yourselves some garden sleeves, sunglasses, and a mask. Your body will thank you! While you're at it, you should really be trying out some new growing styles! We learn little from our successes. You won't regret it! If you already do ALL FIVE of these things, or if you liked today's episode, you have to write us via email at contact@growcastpodcast.com so we can hear about your thoughts :)  HUGE ROOTED LEAF 420 SALE!
