Organic gardening specialist and creator of Riverview Living Soils, first time GrowCast Guest Ricky joins the program! Ricky talks about how he got started in the cannabis industry, and what led him to create his own soil company. This leads to a conversation about home soil gardening and Ricky discusses some basic fundamentals that are a great starting point for home grown success. Ricky goes a layer deeper and also talks about some of pitfalls that home growers face, with an emphasis on data collection and adjusting based on grow metrics. Specifically, Ricky recommends using moisture meters to get specific readings on your soil, as well as using light meters to detect PPFD and make sure you aren't over saturating your plants- especially in veg!

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (CODE GROWCAST for 20% OFF) returns to the show for the nutrient deep dive series. This time we are moving away from fertilizer elements and taking a look at humic and fulvic acids. Nik picks up with his analogy about your plant acting as a pump- and he adds the carbon piece- meaning your plant is taking carbon from CO2 in the ambient air, but it's also sequestering carbon into the soil with the help of microbes in the forms of humic and fulvic acids. Nik talks about what this means from a grower perspective, and which situations call for fulvic acids versus humic acids. This also leads to a conversation about water dynamics, teasing the next episode all about H20 and how it acts.

Shawn from CBG Gurus is on the program for the very first time! He joins us to today to share his journey from academia to permaculture cannabis cultivation. Shawn talks about his background in ag science, and how his passion eventually shifted from cultivating type 1 flower to instead focusing on the benefits of ancillary cannabinoids. He discusses what it's like to grow boutique low thc flower, and how the genepool is so much more limited than the traditional type 1 hybrid pool. This leads to a conversation about processing these types of strains, and how difficult it is to find a good washer within the limited CBD and CBG dominant gene pools. Shawn also shares his thoughts on the benefits of CBG and how ancillary cannabinoids can alter your experience.
