Victor Sheppard, Blue Ridge Consulting

Victor Sheppard joins me on the line from his home in New York State where he’s helping medical patients and veterans with genetics and some grow advice. He’s very passionate about the plant and his mission of helping those most in need and loves to focus on good quality genetics when starting off a grow. Victor starts off by getting into great detail talking about his current grow setup around the 9:30 mark, and shares exactly how his 2’x’4’ grow tent grows from seed through flower! Just after 12 minutes, we dig into his tips for keeping your plants as healthy as possible. His advice is to pay attention to the details. Keep your environment as simple as possible, but learn to pay attention to the nuances of your plants. At 15:30 we discuss how to increase yield off limited plant counts. Low-stress training is his go-to solution and suggests topping might not always be necessary. Right around 18 minutes we discuss IPM in an indoor garden. How does Victor keep his garden clean and healthy, beneficial nematodes and predatory mites. Strong work ethic and a willingness to learn are the 2 character traits that Victor suggests you cultivate within yourself in order to become a great cannabis gardener. Just before 24 minutes, Victor shares his last bits of advice and that is to keep trying new things, plant more seeds and share your knowledge.
