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:

• Maximizing Yield Through Light Accumulation
• Why Harvest Timing Matters for Extracts vs. Flower
• Defining Quality in Cannabis Cultivation
• Challenges in Cannabis Cultivation
