| Light, Yield, and Quality: The Science Behind Cannabis Cultivation with Travis Higginbotham | 05 Sep 2024 | 00:53:26 | |
Growing cannabis is like navigating a path in many directions. Are you cultivating for smokable flowers or extract? How do you take a skill once passed down from person to person and translate that into high-end cultivation practices that can be standardized across employees or even scaled across companies? These skills demand a unique blend of rigorous science and an intuitive "feel" that's hard to quantify. This Week We Sit Down with Travis Higginbotham to Discuss the Following:
About Travis Higginbotham Travis Higginbotham is the Founder and CEO of Due Diligence Horticulture (DDH), LLC, specializing in safeguarding investor capital in cultivation-specific businesses.

| Mushrooms + Cannabinoids ft. Eric Levitt | 03 Feb 2022 | 00:46:50 | |
Eric Levitt Founder of Pure Wisomds joins The Dime to discuss
Learn More about Pure Wisdom Eric Levittis the Founder of Pure+Wisdom Foods.The reason I started this company was to create everyday health and wellness supplements that you could actually feel and quickly knew were making a positive difference in your daily routine. (And also to provide an alternative remedy to some of the harmful opioids and drugs on the market today.) Creating a functionally different product starts with combining hemp-derived cannabinoids and adaptogen mushrooms. The next key ingredient comes in the form of technology, specifically applying Time Release capabilities to the CBD. The reason we do this is because CBD has a unusually short half-life in the body; from the time you take traditional CBD in the form of tinctures or soft gels, it’s typically reached it complete absorption in the blood plasma within 75 minutes and it’s done. Using time-release technology, we’re able to increase the amount of time you’re still absorbing the CBD for up to six hours.
