Apologies for the late upload as I've been traveling! Rhizo Rich is back on the podcast for an important episode updating us on all his amazing work. Rich gives us a rundown of the top strains he has in his current hunt including his plachata, double stuffed, cookie truffle shuffle and more. Of course he also gives us an update on his incredible key lime madness pheno, which is the current front runner for a possible reversal and feminized pollination drop. Rich also covers the current community challenge his work is involved in- the Grand Pheno Hunt. One of the strains has already been revealed. Rich also tells us a story about an amazing plant that he has growing out of a literal crack in the sidewalk.

Today we have a first time guest on the podcast side- Aaron of ATG Acres joins us for an episode about his journey from legacy to legal, organic commercial cannabis production, and more! Aaron tells his story of growing up cultivating and how he moved around and crafted his style in order to survive legalization as a craft farmer. This leads to a discussion about his living soil oriented grow style, and how Aaron views the end of the cannabis plant's life cycle in particular. Aaron shares his pre harvest strategies, as well as a step by step walk through of his actual harvest and hang dry process. He puts an emphasis on lowering temperatures during his very particular drying and curing parameters, and making up for the slower dry time with a pre harvest dryback. Aaron also extrapolates on curing and storage- as well as gives some rapid fire strain breakdowns from cultivars currently running on his farm.

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...

Our good friend from The Midwest Terp Wizard rejoins the program for another jam-packed episode! Today the Wiz is here to discuss his recent pollination, growing in Michigan outdoors, harvest timing, and more. Wizard shares a story about how drying in the barn on his property led to some unforeseen pest issues when apparently a gang of rats infiltrated his dry space and ate a few thousand dollars worth of seeds! Terp talks about the strains that survived, and what's included in this next drop. He also shares an update on his gardens, where he is growing both indoor in tents as well as outdoor using organic hugelkultur practices to produce both cannabis and veggies. Terp Wizard also talks about hash rosin color, timing harvest, and more...

Alexandria Irons AKA Queen of the Sungrown is back on GrowCast! Today she is on the line for a NO NONSENSE discussion about... Poop. Alex extrapolates the power of the great poop loop in this episode, the cycle of consumption and excretion that powers so much of our soil's mineral content. She talks about different manures, and how and why NPK ratio differ from species to species. Alexandria also addresses how to best incorporate manures and guanos into our composting process, so that we can safely apply the microbes and minerals in these inputs without worrying about tainting our garden with things like animal hormones, dewormers, and other toxins. Alex wraps the show by talking about a tissue culture challenge that she is putting on in her Patreon, and how viroids are remediated by this specific cloning technique.

Back again on the show is the one and only Dr. Coco from Coco for Cannabis! The good Doctor joins us after completing an in depth YouTube episode where he shares everything there is to know about LED grow light diodes! Those little dots on your lights mean a lot when it comes to the overall performance and efficiency of your light- and Dr. Coco shares the most important things you need to know about LED light builds! This leads to conversation about lighting schedule where Dr. Coco talks about how plants operate during the lights off period, how to switch your plants into flower with minimal stress, and what just how in tuned plants are with the rhythms of the on/off light cycles. Dr. Coco also discusses non 12/12 schedules, theorizing that an 11/13 schedule could in fact encourage plants to finish sooner than a full 12/12 schedule...

Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is back on the show for another cannabis nutrition deep dive! Today Nik joins the program and discusses how calcium is taken up and deposited by the plant, and what that means for cannabis growers. He contrasts this nutrient cycle to something like phosphorous, which requires less reapplication and isn't deposited into the plant structure the same way. This leads to a conversation about the different pathways that nutrients and plant phenols take, and how flavonoid production plays into the nutritional cycle. Nik talks about flavonoids, what they are, how they're produced, and how they end up affecting the overall cannabis consumption experience. The guys also discuss tea- the master of flavonoid production- as well as coffee, and what we can learn from these two plants as cannabis growers.

The one and only irreplaceable Marybeth Sanchez is BACK! MBS updates us on all the wonderful things happening in her garden as the end of the season approaches, and what she has planned for harvest time and the winter beyond. Marybeth tells us about growing outdoor full term, and highlights how different that is than how many growers operate with multiple back to back indoor runs. This leads to a conversation about long cures, and MBS shares how she appreciates a long cure with full term flowers so she can experience all the different evolution of expressions that come from aging. She goes on to talk about harvest, dry and cure techniques- as well as the flavors she's experiences from this year's cultivars like Peach Armageddon. MBS Also discusses some old school cannabis stories from back in the day before she wraps up the program.

OKC shares an update on his garden, and lays out his plans for how he intends to overwinter parts of his property, as well as do some winter gardening in other areas. He goes on to discuss how the winter time and freezes affect his JADAM work, and what to do when a freeze is coming. This leads to a conversation about how long to take your plants before harvest, and how OK Calyx times the harvest on his own cannabis plants. The guys also discuss OKC's newest breeding work as he continues to work down multiple blueberry terp lines into his own unique cultivars.

After a hit first episode, Doug and Leanne from Hygrozyme are BACK! Today Team Hygrozyme joins us for an entire episode about ROOT PATHOGENS. I cannot personally tell you how many times I've seen these pathogens misdiagnosed as a nutrient deficiency. Doug discusses his work in the lab where he starts by individually testing specific antagonistic compounds on living samples of these pathogens in vitro. Once he has found 3 or 4 top candidates for anti pathogenic substances, Hygrozyme enlists real life field tests to see if the new compound is effective when the rubber meets the road. Leanne gives us a tease as to what the newest product in the line is going to be- being dubbed with the amazing name "Hygropunch!" Our two guests also explain exactly what it takes to maintain healthy, clean root systems- and highlight the importance of keeping your medium free of necrotic material and other things that invite in the worst pathogens that you would never want to see in your garden!

Jason from Lighthouse Solutions and Filtr is back on the program for Croptober! Today Jason is here to discuss the optimal ways to approach cleanliness in your grow, and how to keep those pesky pathogens out. Jason dives deep into the different ratings and types of filtration systems, and also expounds on how these filters actually function and remove particles from the air. Jason goes on to talk about different pathogens and their sizes, including small airborn viruses and large dust particles that can carry other pathogens. He expands on the idea of both air cleanliness and surface cleanliness, and how they interact- which leads to a larger conversation about biofilm. Jason talks about what biofilm is, how it reproduces, and how the organisms within the slimy biofilm bubble actually communicate with one another on a microscopic level...

The great and powerful Matthew Gates AKA Synchangel is back on the show for an episode about Croptober pest prevention! Matthew dives deep into the most common and detrimental pests that affect our gardens late in the harvest cycle- and how to prevent them. He covers all things bud worms and moths, including their breeding and behavior- which is crucial to understand in order to stop them. The bud worm conversation leads to a discussion about botrytis- which goes right along with the bud worm damage- and Matthew Gates gives us a great overview on how to avoid this powerful and undesirable fungus. Synchangel also touches on the less vigorous but still undesirable powdery mildew, and how to reduce the environmental stimuli that trigger this powdery pest!

Rhizo Rich is back again! Today we get an update on The Rhino's health and where he is at with his breeding work. Jordan and Rhizo talk about the state of the cannabis community as a whole, how it's intertwined with social media and Instagram specifically, and how the dilution of those platforms with scammers and bots is ruining both the social media experience and the ability for the cannabis community to interact. Rhizo also talks about his impersonator, and how they're still running a giveaway scam. This leads to a discussion about a recent breeder controversy, and brings up the question of whether or not it's moral for ex law enforcement to work within the industry. Rhizo also of course gives some detailed updates on the work he's doing, including some new strain reviews, an upcoming clone drop, and he even teases the next pollination from GrowCast Seed Co, which you may not expect...

First time guest and talented breeder Chemma Lab joins the show for an episode that was intended to be all about breeding environment, but Chemma was so easy to talk to we spoke on all sorts of subjects- from transitioning from growing for flower to breeding seeds, to what drives Chemma's work, and more. Chemma and Jordan break down how they approach flavor and taste testing, and categorizing flavors in high and low end notes- like sound frequencies. This leads to a conversation about all the "yummy" weed that people have been breeding for- driven by popularity and the consumer market... But Chemma and Jordan talk about the nostalgia for good old OG strains, noxious chem strains, and funky foul fucked up nasty cultivars. Chemma of course also extrapolates on the strains she has available for purchase, and what you can expect from her work with chems, OGs, and more.

You know her, you love her, Marybeth Sanchez is back on the main podcast! Today Marybeth shares her deep passion for outdoor gardening, and gives us some incredible tips on how to control your environment (as best you can) in an outdoor setting. Marybeth discusses the importance of mulching through the entire episode, and she emphasizes the variety of benefits it brings from shielding the soil from sun, to reducing root temperatures, and more. She talks about a variety of mulch options, and which ones you should and shouldn't apply to your garden beds. This leads to a larger conversation about root zone temperature, and how in an outdoor grow it is often most beneficial to focus on shading and cooling your POTS rather than your CANOPY. MBS also discusses shade cloths before wrapping the show, which percentage of shading is right for you, and when it's best to grow your plants under stippled shade instead of a full blown shade cloth!

The great and powerful Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com is back on the show! Today he joins us for our inaugural Habitat September episode- and the topic is all about environment! Dr. Coco doubles back and does some more in depth exploration of two hot topic abbreviations in the grow world: VPD and DLI. He discusses the misconception around DLI and how it's often misused as a LIMITING measurement, when in reality it's simply a TOTAL measurement of how much light a plant receives per day. Dr. Coco also dismisses some VPD myths, and talks about how some aspects of our environment are simply more important than others- temperature for instance. Dr. Coco also shares his thoughts on veg times, and how increasing plant count and reducing pot size for a quicker veg cycle can drastically improve your garden's overall efficiency and productivity. Dr. Coco wraps the show by speaking on his plant training grow challenge, which you can find at Coco for Cannabis with a category for everybody- even misfits and leaf strippers!

The conversation turns back towards Steve's amazing journeys around the world, and he regales us with stories of the worst pest infestations he's ever seen. From aphid attacks that turn into aphid farms, to having to battle elephants and hippos in Africa- Steve has seen just about everything. He also gives a great breakdown on IPMO, and how insecticidal microbes work on the pests that we hate most!

Our good friend from The Banyan Tree Jameson Welbourn returns to the show to wrap up Cultivar-gust! Jameson sits down to share from his extensive pool of knowledge, and gives us some prognostications as far as where the cannabis industry is headed- specifically when it comes to solventless extract consumption. Jameson discusses how hash making has evolved so quickly over the past few years, and which direction the global market is currently headed. Jordan and Jameson discuss good hashing strains, and some of the best rosin cultivars they have come across in their travels trying hash across the country. This leads to a conversation about home rosin pressing, and how home producers can implement some tips and tricks to make their home made hash higher quality, and yield better as well.

The great and powerful Rhizo Rich is back on the podcast- having just dug himself from the grave after a bout with the kahuna virus, the Rhino returns! Today Jordan and Rich do a couple deep dive reviews into recent strains that they've cultivated. From the doughy, sweet and syrupy Pancakes that Rhizo Rich just did an open pollination with, to the Hawaiian cultivars that Jordan just took down. Rich also discusses more about the GAWD cut that he was super impressed with during his pheno hunt, and how he will almost certainly be working with that female in the future. Jordan talks about the Molokai Citrus Kush and how impressed he was with the exotic yet non traditional tropical terpenes that were expressed- this leads to a conversation about heavy feeding cultivars, and how to keep up with those monster eaters in your grow tent!

The man with the mat is BACK! Great friend of the show Michael Box joins the program again for an update on all things Sustainable Village. Michael gives us an update on his bottomless pot tech, and how the team is still dialing in cap mats to work with this interesting plug and play soil bed style. This leads to a conversation about new BluMat technology, where they are allowing the carrots to trigger a circuit to activate a solenoid switch- allowing for a high outflow of water for irrigation... Michael discusses the new irrometers available on his website, and how they differ from a traditional hygrometer - being far more accurate at measuring actual soil water tension, but also far more delicate and frail. Finally Michael also gives us a little history lesson when it comes to the BluMat system, and highlights a story where the owners visited his headquarters all the way from Austria!

Brand new guest Bless Coast Seeds is on the podcast! Tune in to this awesome breeder feature as we enter Cultivar-gust for a whole month of strain and cultivar discussion! Bless Coast talks about what brought him into the world of seedmaking and breeding. He talks about what he focuses on when making selections, and what traits he likes to look for when he's going through extensive hunts. This leads to a conversation about intersex stability, and how much you can or cannot expect a specific strain of cannabis to hold stable and not throw pollen under any environmental circumstances. The boys also discuss the future of cannabis breeding and genetic variation- leading to a conversation about CRISPR and where gene editing could fit into the cannabis breeding world.

Today's episode is a WILD one folks- we are happy to introduce two new guests, Mike and Matt, who hail from a very unique place. Area 420 is a collective grow operation comprised of 420 acres of cannabis cultivation land in the high alpine desert of Colorado. Listen to the incredible story of Mike, who strives to create an incredible coalition of craft cannabis farmers who can go toe to toe with the big corporate multi state operators. Mike also shares the history of the towns local to Area 420, and points out the incredible benefits that the cannabis industry revenue has brought to these long forgotten towns. We also speak to Matt, the creator of Brainstrap Genetics and a lead grower at The Flower Factory Area 420. Matt is a great friend of GrowCast, and he talks about his incredible story going from a humble breeder who's given away thousands of seeds to now running The Flower Factory at Area 420 and helping push the entire project forward as well! Be sure to stay tuned for an Area 420 travel vlog dropping soon too...

First time guest Austin from Boone Farms joins the program for an in depth and informative interview all about taking healthy clones, growing at scale outdoors, and what it's like running the cultivation at Boone Farms. Austin discusses the absolute BEST cloning tips and tricks he uses to make sure he takes healthy cuts that root at a high success rate. This leads to a conversation about cloning products, from clone gels to scissors and trays, and the guys discuss which brands are their favorite and least favorite. Austin also shares how he grows organically at scale, and what it's like to care for thousands of plants at a time, as well as prepare for the next harvest...

Alexandria Irons is back on the line! Fan favorite Queen of the Sungrown is on the podcast again for an entertaining and informative episode about biochar, microbes, heavy metals and more. Queen and Jordan talk about the presence of heavy metals in cannabis gardens- where we have to be careful of how cannabis can act as a bio accumulator and store these elements that are toxic to humans. Alexandria explains how they are both found naturally in the Earth's crust, and also find their way into our soil through the inputs we use. This leads to a conversation about sea products, and how they are often contaminated with high levels of heavy metal- though not always. Jordan and Queen go on to talk about bio-char, and how useful biochar can be in a system where you're establishing and regenerating soil for long term use. This leads to a broader conversation about creating an in ground permaculture type grow, and how some theorize the Amazon Rainforest may have been a permaculture planted by indigenous peoples local to the area from the past. The duo also discuss their upcoming grow classes, where they cover so much of this info and more, make sure to visit www.growcastpodcast.com/classes to see where we will be next!

Pest expert and instructor of Pestapalooza Matthew Gates is back on the podcast! Today Matthew discusses how the health of your plant may or may not play into garden infestations, and how we often think about how pests take hold incorrectly. Matthew explains how simply interrupting the pests "economy," and reducing their efficiency, will be a huge step in saving your garden. This goes against the "pest decides to attack or not" mentality, and Matthew emphasizes the need for more data and studies on plants' abilities to resist pests of all varieties. Matthew also talks about beneficial insects, how to use them optimally in different types of setups, and how to incorporate them into your current IPM plan.

OK Calyx is back for part two of his interview, perfect for Plant Health July! OK Calyx discusses some of his favorite natural farming techniques to employ when growing cannabis and other plants. He starts by talking about composting, and how learning to compost really led him down the road of microbiology forward, closed loop farming. OKC gives us some great composting tips, differentiating between static piles and turned piles. He also talks about some minimal turning experiments he is doing, to see how much he can speed up his compost pile with just a few turns a year. OK Calyx goes on to talk about JADAM farming, and specifically what JADAM means versus KNF. This leads to a conversation about his cannabis specific JLF- a water steeping based fertilizer that is made from cannabis plant waste. OK Calyx talks about why you should never let your plant scraps go to waste, tips as to how you can create a powerful cannabis specific JLF at home, and which input he has kept around steeping the longest.

Sorry for the late upload everyone, hope you had a spectacular 4th of July! As we transition from Cannabis History June into Plant Health July, we have a wonderful guest on the line with our old friend Breeder Steve! Steve has been hard at work down in Colombia of all places, and he updates us on all the incredible cannabis advancement going on south of the border. He talks about breeding strains that work in an equatorial climate, and what traits he is looking to select for in order to have a thriving, replicable cannabis crop. Steve shares how he brought many modern poly-hybridized strains down to Colombia, and how some adapt to the local climate much better and more quickly than others. Steve then takes the conversation back towards his homeland of Canada, and gives us an update on where Canada fits in the global market scene. He also talks about the good old days in Canada, and what the cannabis culture was like when he was growing up.

First time guest and old school Oklahoma grower OK Calyx joins the podcast for an awesome episode about the history of cannabis in Oklahoma, and how it shifted from a harsh black market state to the current cannabis epicenter. OK Calyx talks about the days of growing underground, how hard the police were on cannabis, and how limited the genetic availability was to cultivators. He also talks about how he had to live in secret with his own medicinal use of cannabis, having transitioned from harmful pharmaceuticals and alcohol to medical cannabis usage. Calyx also discusses the breeding work that he is doing, largely revolving around multiple blueberry crosses- working with both the BlueBerry Muffin and Blueberry TrainMac, among other strains. OK Calyx has a "hard out" as they say in broadcasting- but assures us he will return for a part two soon to discuss more about his KNF work!

The one and only Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com joins the show for an incredible explanation of the history of horticultural lighting. Starting all the way back with incandescent technology in the 1800s, Dr. Coco talks about the lighting advancements that took us into the 1900s like fluorescent technology, and eventually HPS high intensity discharge bulbs. Dr. Coco talks about the development of street light techonology, and how grow lights originated from this tech that was intended to put a lot of light into large areas at night. He also breaks down the exact differences between metal hallide, ceramic metal hallide, high pressure sodium, and more. This of course all culminates in the creation of LED technology which is now far and away the best lighting option- Dr. Coco explains why that is unlikely to change for some time, but also speculates on new lighting tech stating: it's hard to imagine what we can't imagine yet!

Friend of the show and creator of Jinxproof Genetics- the one and only Jinx is back on GrowCast! He and Miss Rose are on the line today to discuss some of the their awesome new crosses that are dropping soon, and share some old school stories from their time influencing cannabis history on the west coast. Jinx talks about the Seattle grow scene back in the 1990s, and explains how there really was no way to get quality cannabis seeds or cultivation education. He talks about how some of the most prolific strains that he crossed came from bag seed early on, but how Seattle was still hungry for more genetics. Jinx tells the story of how he met the late Subcool, and the huge impact that these two figures had in the Pacific Northwest cannabis seed scene. Jinx emphasizes the importance of head shops during this time, and talks about how the cheapening of the glass industry is driving out these classic venues, and depriving the next generation of an entire genre of cannabis establishment...

Brand new guest and organic cultivator Harry Rose joins the show for the first time to talk about making hash, and NorCal cannabis history- as well as his place in it. Harry shares stories from the old school Northern California days, giving massive credit to some players in the breeding scene who created some of the world's most renowned CBD strains for medical consumption. This leads to a conversation about his precious cut of Ringo's Rose, which Harry almost lost at one point. Harry also discusses how important organic cultivation is to him as a person and as a grower, emphasizing that although he encourages people to grow in all mediums- microbiologically driven organic cannabis is his hands down favorite product to consume.

RHINO in the house. The great breeder and cultivator Rhizo Rich joins the program to wrap up Nug Mashin' May. He's here to recap some of the best rosin we've tasted over the course of our travels, as well as do some in depth reviews on hash strains. Rich and Jordan also share the story of their Colorado trip, where so much fun and merriment was had- however, the treacherous Loraine had other impressions of the GC boys... The conversation turns towards the recent Cultivators Cup event, and the strains that took down the top prizes- including Truffle Cake by Crzylgs, Ice Cream Wolfman by JT, and Jordan's personal favorite: Gary Payton by Handscold. The guys also tease their upcoming classes including a home breeding masterclass on the way, and Rhizo Rich's ongoing RSO class. The Rhino also gives us a detailed update on the upcoming pollinations, and talks to us about working with the Seed Junky London Pound Cake cross, as well as Beleaf's GAWD cut.

Rhizo Rich is back on the program for another top 5 episode- this time we're focusing on things that you AREN'T doing in your garden, but probably should be. Whether you're still relying on your finger test or lift test instead of using a moisture meter, or you don't have any form of automated watering so you never ever get a break from your garden- these are things you could implement to totally up-level your gardening game and more importantly, balance your life! One of the TOP things I don't see people doing is using protective equipment in their grow... Don't burn out your eyeballs on those powerful grow lights. Don't inhale all those nasty soil inputs and perlite dust. Get yourselves some garden sleeves, sunglasses, and a mask. Your body will thank you! While you're at it, you should really be trying out some new growing styles! We learn little from our successes. You won't regret it! If you already do ALL FIVE of these things, or if you liked today's episode, you have to write us via email at contact@growcastpodcast.com so we can hear about your thoughts :)

The great and powerful Queen of the Sun is back on the show for an episode in Nug Mashin' May that you won't soon forget! Alexandria updates us on all her recent exploits, and the big move from her old farm to her new spot. She talks about some of the hash processing that she has done recently, and speaks on the idea that processing trim becomes a massive undertaking in and of itself when you get to a point of true large scale production. This leads into a conversation about easy ways to process non flower plant material- from a simple alcohol extraction, to a bubble hash process, or even throwing your material right into the compost pile. Alex gives some best practices on making bubble hash, and shares her NorCal rooted strategy. Alexandria also discusses some of her favorite strains that she has produced for hash washing, shouting out such NorCal classics as Jilly Bean and work by the great Purple Caper. Queen of the Sun and Jordan wrap the show by talking about their "upcoming" tour of classes around the country- which may actually already be in the works as we speak...

Dr. Daniel Hayden PHD from Extractioneering is on the line for a deep dive episode into all things cannabis and extraction. Dr. Hayden talks about the evolution of cannabis extraction, from the old school hashish days to the solvent era and now the modern solventless scene- and Dr. Hayden discusses where Extractioneering fits into that picture. Daniel discusses cured flower/trim product used for extraction, versus the live extraction craze that is so prevalent across the US today. He emphasizes the difference in sugar leaf vs bud extraction, cured versus live, and the positives and negatives of each. He also warns us not to shop with our eyes, highlighting the wide variety of colors and tones that can arise from cured hash production- with many darker products even turning out to be some of the most potent and delicious around...
