In Episode 92, McCarter chats with Travis Michalowski, founder of Grateful Grove, a Boulder-based cannabis cultivation company powered entirely by the sun. Travis shares how his team combines sustainable energy, organic practices, and a deep respect for the plant to produce high-quality cannabis with a lighter environmental footprint. We discuss their recent win of first place at the 2025 Rooster Magazine THC Classic in the Sativa Flower competition with their strain Trop Pink Zkittlez. We dive into what it takes to run a solar-powered grow operation, the challenges of staying green in a growing national industry yet shrinking Colorado industry, and why conscious cultivation is the future.
