Going from 2- 20ft x100ft long greenhouses on a commercial farm in California to a indoor grow in WA state. 

Enjoy!

In this episode we chat about the science around the transplant root dip and why this is the best and most efficient way of inoculating a root system. Starting with germinating seeds with beneficial microbes and water all the way to weekly root drenches. Supper mycorrhizae is a microbial inoculant including microbe foods David feels you should be applying microbes with a food source to make sure the microbes can colonized a root system and help the system charge forward.    

Tyler- We chat with Brandon about his efforts to make only scientifically guided decisions on nutrient management, foliar spraying and soil chemistry in his Co-founded commercial Greenhouse Grow in Oklahoma. Brandon has been a cultivator of cannabis medicine for over 20 years. He has a wealth of information about the plant and how it should be grown in its most natural environment possible. Growing Cannabis is not easy in Oklahoma, with its crazy weather and random rain storms. Things can get crazy and Brandon has his ways of producing a very high quality crop.

Tyler chats it up with Matthew Gates, an integrated pest management specialist.

Tyler connects with... Jenny Garley from New Age Laboratories specializing in Sap testing for Hemp and Cannabis. Also with us today is David Olsen the creator our line of concentrated microbes and microbe food mixtures. We break down how and why we are doing the formulation we are doing based of of scientific data. Are you looking to eliminate Bro science from your garden or farm... aren't we all?? Nutrients can move very fast from the top of the plant down to the roots when foliar sprayed. Driving forward healthy plants that BAD bugs don't want. Its our goal to bring typical farming practices to the everyday or seasonal cannabis farmer.
