"Welcome to another episode of Your Average Grow with co-hosts Johnny Apple and The Reverend Pirate Frog. In this episode we touch on why you shouldn’t put up with a duck bully, or frog bully for that matter, as well as how to have a thriving worm population in your garden beds, managing multiple worm bins, Johny’s conversion to the autoflower side, and managing challenges with indoor and outdoor cultivation like humidity. We also touch upon the desire for safe, tested medicine and frustrations with the gray market as well as how “apothecary b******t” is indeed not b******t.Tune in to join a semi-coherent conversation about making the most of your grow, your wallet, and your life. Because, as we often say, cannabis is an "absolute gateway drug" – not in the way you've been told, but in the way that "once you grow it, you'll start growing a bunch of shit you never thought you'd grow"always consider the source
