Ricky from Riverview Living Soil has returned to the program for a stellar episode about optimizing your grow through improved nutrient uptake! Ricky gives us an update on his new product line and his foray into worm farming, which leads to a conversation on the benefits of quality castings. Castings aside, live worms themselves do incredible things in the soil to optimize nutrient uptake for plants. Not only do they increase the bio-availability of all types of nutrition, but they also help carry minerals from one area of the soil- where the mineral may be rich- to another part of the soil- where the mineral may be lacking. Ricky describes the three main ways that plants uptake nutrients, and extrapolates  on how things like saponins- as well as worms- help increase the efficiency of all three types of nutrient uptake.

The Wiz is back! Terp Wizard returns to the show to update us on aaaaall the work he has been up to. Wizard talks to us about his new pollination, where he is working with a sour profile he found in Top Dawg's work. The Wiz explains his fondness for sours, and the guys talk about old school Midwest dank. Terp Wizard also explains his shift in approach when it comes to releasing his work- where he is now doing long term testing and study to release just one or two at a time. The conversation turns to hashing, and Wiz tells us how to look for a good hasher, how to do a test wash, and how trichome structures influence the end product. Wizard gives us his top hashing strains as well, from his own work, and from others- while Jordan sings the praises of his Duck Confit which was grown by amazing member Okiestoney and processed by the incredible Chromsix of Oklahoma. Terp Wizard surprises us with a forgotten compost plant pollination update as well, and tells us to stay tuned to his IG for the upcoming drops!

From insecticidal fungi to predator mites, Matthew explains why these creatures are beneficial to us in our gardens, and how to apply them with success. Matthew talks about the killing power of parasitoid wasps, and how they are able to kill so many pests like aphids in such a short period of time. This leads to a conversation about when to apply your beneficials, and how to introduce them in conjunction with sprays as to not harm the beneficial population. Matthew wraps the show by talking about insectaries, middle-man bug dealers, and how to attract beneficials to your outdoor garden naturally...

Identifying issues quickly and accurately in your grow can be the difference between a successful harvest, and total crop loss- on this episode of GrowCast, fan favorite Marybeth Sanchez joins the program to help you identify FOUR COMMON PROBLEMS that plague growers. MBS starts with two common deficiencies: magnesium, and potassium- she walks us through how to accurately ID these issues, why they are important to address, and how to quickly fix them. This leads to a larger conversation about making sure that everything else is dialed in before adding more nutrients- being sure to optimize your temperature, humidity, watering, and light saturation before piling on more minerals. MBS then informs us how to identify and treat septoria, a nasty plant pathogen that can devastate a crop. MBS rounds out the show by talking about an insidious pest that could be lurking in your garden without you even knowing it...

Great friend of the show OKCalyxx is back again on GrowCast Podcast! Today he is here to discuss his preparations for a potentially blazing summer, followed by a cooling autumn season. Calyxx highlights the importance of avoiding mold and mildew during the hot muggy summer months, with an an emphasis on the need to properly prune your plants right around flowering time. Avoiding heat in the summer is also critical, and getting those shade cloths up can be a life saver. OKCalyxx goes on to say just because the fall and winter comes quickly, don't let that stop your natural farming work. Prepping for winter, and then working throughout winter to prep for the new year- that's the secret to natural farming success. Calyxx wraps the show by talking about the crosses that he is currently working on, including some work with our own Peach Dosi which was born from GrowCast Membership using Rhizo Rich's Peach Pie Dumpster Cut pollen.

Rich talks about how far his breeding work has come, from giving away thousands of seeds for free, to becoming a full time breeder with demand for his amazing work. This leads to a little history lesson about Rhizo Rich, what he was involved in before becoming a breeder, and how he got the Rhino monicker. Rich and Jordan dive deep into some rare GC strain reviews including the super rare and frosty covered Magma Monster, the prolific and funky Moon Monster, and the resurging and massively yielding Earth Monster. Rich teases his upcoming pollination where he is about to lock down his final male, and hit it to a variety of his most impressive female stock...

As we continue our nutrient deep dives, Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show to discuss all things SULFUR! From it's role as an antioxidant to how it moves in nature, Nik let's us know what we need to know about this important mineral. Nik talks about how sulfur is not needed in as high as quantity as one might think, but he emphasizes that your plant will require more sulfur in order to deal with stressors- stressors like increase in light saturation, environmental pressure, and more. This leads to a conversation about how sulfur is truly utilized as the main anti oxidant within plants, and how it affects the redox cycle. Nik also discusses the important compounds known as thiols- which are not only the molecules that could shift a plant's aroma into the realm of skunk, but are also utilized within the plant's growth process itself...

First time guest Mark from GreenGro is on the program for an amazing deep dive into biochar, soil microbiology, and what comprises a thriving rhizosphere. Mark shares the idea of mimicking Terra Preta- the rich black earth that is found in the Amazonian Rainforest. This leads to a discussion of how ancient indigenous people's understood and utilized microbiology, and how the Amazon itself could be the result of a permaculture garden. Mark discusses why microbial diversity is so important, and how biochar plays such a big role in the life of your soil. He does however caution adding too much biochar, and talks about how he came up with the formula for his GreenGro Earthsine product (use code GROWCAST10). Mark and Jordan wrap the show by talking about the similarities between the human microbiome and the plant's rhizosphere, and how important it is to look at our own health as intently as we look after our plants' health...

He's on the program today to give an in depth overview of how we should think of light spectrum when we are growing cannabis. Dr. Coco highlights the different attributes of specific spectrums, including how efficiently they deliver photons, how deeply they penetrate your canopy, and what their inherit affects on the plant are. The conversation transitions into a new style of LED grow light that uses lenses to redirect the small light's spread- and Dr. Coco talks about sacrificing some efficiency in exchange for better coverage from your fixture. Coco wraps up the show by talking about growing the biggest "sticky dicky" auto, and how to grow a plant to maximum size without skipping a beat through veg.

The great Doctor Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com is back on the show for an episode about optimal consistent environments, and maximizing your grow space production. Coco starts by diving deeper into some concepts that have been brought up on the show before- specifically the idea of increasing your productivity per square foot by adding more plants and vegging them for less time. While this isn't an optimal method for those in low plant count situations, the idea of only vegging for a short period of time not only increases overall production- but also reduces manual labor and labor costs... Doctor Coco also discusses the importance of consistency, calling back to an episode where he had discussed leaving your plants alone as much as possible. This leads to an interesting conversation about how it's even more important to leave your plant alone the later in life it advances. The conversation turns towards harvest, and Coco has an interesting take to share when it comes to the differences in home grown harvests depending on the season in which you're cutting down...

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST for 20% off) is BACK for another installment of his nutrient deep dive - this time focusing on phosphorous and magnesium. Nik shares his beliefs around the myth of the PK booster, and why phosphorous has been mislabeled as a nutrient that should be overapplied during the flowering stage. Nik instead encourages to think more about the relationship between MAGNESIUM and phosphorous, tracing these minerals all the way back to the very beginning of the photosynthetic process- where magnesium helps capture energy from light and transfers into the tri-phosphate bond known as ATP. Nik extrapolates on what this means to us cannabis growers, and how we can maximize our plants biomass production when we full understand the link between magnesium, phosphorous, and light intensity.

Michael Box is back on the show for quite possibly the best episode he has appeared on yet- today's episode is all about dialing in the PERFECT watering technique and moisture ratio, tips for Blumats, and the best way to care for your reservoirs. Michael explains the concept of moisture retention curve, as he has been diving deep into exactly how drybacks occur and what the perfect pressure is in your specific media. This leads to a conversation about different moisture retention curves in coco vs soil for instance, and how the constituents of your media will heavily affect the optimal mbar reading. Michael gives some amazing tips for using the Blumat automated watering system (my favorite system, code GROWCAST now active again for April) including how to reset your moisture meters, how to dial in your blumats before you even put them into your soil, and the best way to run nutrition through a Blumat system.

World renowned cannabis IPM expert Matthew Gates is back on the show to do an in depth exploration of all things RUSSET MITES. These worm-like little creatures wreak havoc on your grow and can cause total crop loss if not handled correctly. Matthew gates talks about mites in general and how they behave, as well as the differences between the two most common cannabis oriented microscopic mites- broad mites and russet mites. This turns the conversation towards insect identification, and Matthew shares exactly how to identify the worm shaped russet mite under a scope, as well as the fatter, football shaped broad mite. Actual plant symptoms are also discussed, with the first infected plants to exhibit the worst leaf clawing, warping and twisting - followed by the telltale "rust" that accompanies the russet mite (sometimes also called the rust mite). Synchangel also extrapolates on how these microscopic mites breed, highlighting the importance of understanding the reproductive cycle of the pest you're trying to combat. Dormancy and hibernation is a threat as well, with the russet mite producing a particular type of female when environmental factors are reached that allow the population to overwinter. Matthew wraps the show by talking about environmental factors such as heat influencing how fast the pests in your tent reproduce- and how fast they decimate your precious flowers...

We always talk about microbes, and how magical they are. But compared to plants microbes are like ancient cave people, rubbing sticks together and painting cave paintings for the almighty plant gods. Join Nik as we explore the complexity of Oxygen in our gardens, and the incredible electrical power that plants have to split the oxygen apart from H2O molecules. Oxygen is like the stoner friend who always shows up to the smoke circle, smokes everyone else's bud, and ruins the circle. Oxygen is constantly degrading things, "downhill," while plants have the incredible power to reverse this oxidative process that affects virtually all of the world around us. If you love advanced plant science, this episode is for you. Don't forget to aerate that feed water, growmies!

Second generation horticulturalist and talented grower of all types of plants Kyle from The FOOP is on the show! Today Kyle is here to talk about both indoor and super large scale veggie production, home grower tips, soil mixes and more. Kyle shares what he thinks are the TOP THREE best veggies to transition into for a home cannabis grower- and how you can craft a grow style that works for multiple species of plants. The conversation turns towards home cannabis growing, and Kyle shares his super simple grow style based around Pro Mix, some dry amendments, and FOOP. Kyle also emphasizes the importance of proper watering technique for home growers, with many growers hampering themselves by either overwatering and suffocating their plants OR underwatering them- worrying about runoff- and leaving the bottom of their pots dry.

Cannabis activist and independent journalist Grant Smith-Ellis is on the program to discuss some recent revelations that have come to light regarding a powerful brand in the cannabis space- who has previously positioned themselves against homegrow; Curaleaf. Grant expounds on the now multiple investigations that have been launched into this company from multiple states- highlighting alleged employee testimony citing the use of nuclear remediation machines without proper certifcation or proper protective gear, unlicensed testing of new products on employees of Curaleaf, and maybe the biggest rabbit hole of all... The alleged link between the investment capital behind Curaleaf, and the oligarchs of Russia... While it's important to focus on cultivation education and our mission of overgrow, we must also keep an eye on those who have actively stood against home grow rights- and do our best to prevent those efforts!

The one and only Wolfman is back on the line and this time he brings his friend Sean from Cutting Edge Solutions! Wolfman catches us up on all his recent travels and exploits, and gives us the backstory on what finally brought him to work with Cutting Edge Solutions. Sean and Wolfman talk about how the west coast market is rapidly changing, with pack prices plummeting and cultivators fleeing states like Oregon and California due to an inability to stay afloat. The conversation turns towards breeders, and how the legacy cultivator and the legacy breeder are becoming more and more endandgered. Conversely, other countries around the world are coming online, and are building their cannabis industry in ways that are much more effective and efficient than how we've done it in North America. Home grow laws, free international trade- these are the methods that countries like Columbia are employing to build a better legal market... And North America may end up being left behind entirely...

Nik from Rooted Leaf is BACK to continue our individual nutrient explorations- this time focusing on CALCIUM. Nik explains how calcium is absorbed and utilized by the plant, and how cannabis calcium consumption changes throughout the cannabis grow cycle. He goes on to expound on different forms of applicable calcium, and compares the sources based on solubility, nitrogen content, and more. Nik goes on to explain a few mind blowing phenomena involving calcium; the first being the intracellular exchange of calcium - making it pretty agile for an immobile nutrient - and also the production of calcium waves that originate from a point of stress and ripple throughout the plants entire cellular being. Nik also talks about the upcoming INDUSTRY NIGHT and GROW CLASS (with Jordan River speaking) which you can find tickets to at www.rootedleaf.com (code growcast for 20% off products)

JB talks about being a second generation grower, and how closely held some of the cultivars were by the old heads. JB then discusses his breeding work, including his overall philosophy, why he thinks back-crossing cannabis is some of the most important work to be doing, the history of some of the most iconic strains like crippy - and also his all-time top strains from 2022.

An instant classic episode today- good friend of the show Molokai Kevin debuts on the main podcast for the first time! Kevin is a multi decade cannabis grower who specializes in outdoor soil gardening- and is currently living on the Hawaiian desert island of Molokai. Kevin talks about how Hawaii has changed over the years, and shares some wild stories of guerilla growing and running from the law back before legalization swept over the state. He also discusses the differences between growing on Molokai and other islands, emphasizing the incredible power of the rich jungle soil on islands like Oahu. This leads to a conversation about microbes, and Kevin gives a history lesson his favorite microbial input known as BAM (beneficial anaerobic microbes) and how it impacted the soil growers of Hawaii.

We are starting a whole new episode series about plant nutrition! Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show to explore minerals individually- starting with nitrogen! Nik explains how complex the many roles that nitrogen plays actually are, while emphasizing that 80% of your nitrogen goes towards a few primary processes. This leads to a conversation about the rubisco enzyme, and how nitrogen plays into photosynthesis and energy production. Nik also explains how nitrogen deficiency and toxicity work, and how too high levels of nitrogen can lead to nutrient burn. This leads to a conversation about how nitrogen moves throughout media and throughout nature- and how it acts when we water to runoff. Nik extrapolates on the difference in nitrogen needs between the vegetative stage and the flowering stage, and how the balance of nitrogen in the bloom cycle is extremely delicate... Stay tuned for more mineral deep dives with Nik coming to this feed soon!

Follow along with our viroid resource at www.growcastpodcast.com/viroid

Contributor to the Human Genome Project and cannabis viral expert Kevin McKernan debuts on the show for a DEEP DIVE into viral cannabis pathogens! Kevin starts by breaking down the science of what a viroid is, how it differs from a virus, and what it's role in the natural world is. He discusses hop latent viroid in cannabis, and explains the mechanisms by which it replicates itself using the plant's energy, and stops the expression of desirable traits like potency, terpene expression, and more. This leads to a conversation about the hops industry, where instead they opted to breed cultivars that would carry the virus but resist it- as opposed to the cannabis approach of testing for viruses and culling any positives. Kevin wraps up the show by talking about tobacco mosaic virus, why it's so misdiagnosed, and just how many varieties there are of these types of plant virals...

TG talks about cold climate growing, and how to deal with the combination of short growing seasons, low temperature, and super low humidity. Temple Grower explains how the laws have progressed in Canada, with multiple phases of legislation that both legalized and re-illegalized many growers in the process. TG also talks about the grow scene, and some of the strains that are super popular to grow north of the border.

Good friend of the show Matthew Gates returns to the program for an entire episode about viroids and viruses! Matthew explains the difference between a virus and viroid, and shares how those differences result in different behaviors between them. The guys talk about viral vectors, and how many different ways these pathogens can infect the plants within your garden. They also discuss specific viroids and viruses that plague the cannabis industry, like the hop latent viroid, which can devastate a harvest and leave buds dudded and lacking potency. Matthew also expounds on the tobacco mosaic virus which is known for it's visual symptoms- and while viruses like these won't necessarily kill your plants, they can be lethal, which is why it's best to clean your genetics through tissue culture cloning if you suspect an infection...
