First time on the GrowCast Podcast feed- Jacob AKA OklahomaFungi joins the program! Jacob is a fungi expert and today he is here to talk to us about soil dwelling fungi, and why they should be on your mind as a cannabis gardener. OKFungi delves into the world of mycorrhizal fungi and explains to us what this classification means, and the many benefits that plants see from their presence- from making minerals soluble to transporting water and more. Jacob goes on to discuss trichoderma in depth, and why this aggressive fungi is so useful in the garden- and so damaging in the mushroom grow. This leads to a conversation about grow products, where OKFungi tells us how to distinguish different types of products and their potency. Jacob wraps the show by discussing the use of salt fertilizers in conjunction with beneficial fungi, and also promotes his upcoming Mushroom Festival at www.okmushfest.com GrowCast Membership (bonus content, member discounts, member discord and more!)

Michael Box from Sustainable Village is BACK! Today Michael is here to talk about his favorite subject- WATER, and how to administer it. Michael gives us an update on what he's been up to since he was last on the show, and some of the advancements he's implemented with the Blu Mat system. The conversation turns to water conservation, which is an incredibly important yet often overlooked part of cultivation. Michael gives some tips on how to save water, and how to think about hydration in your garden. Then, Michael shares why he's such a big fan of rainwater collection (within your local guidelines) in order to both save water and to harness the mineral content and microbe content of the rain. Michael wraps the show by talking about new pre dialed Blu Mats that are basically plug and play, and how to install them into your new system!

Matthew Gates of PESTAPALOOZA is back on GrowCast! Today he joins the program to talk about biological controls- specifically bio control sprays. Gates shares his thoughts on biocontrols in general, and talks about how we need to take a specific approach to selection and application of these products. He talks about pest killing fungi, and how different species tend to operate. Gates goes on to extrapolate on a few of the most common biocontrol sprays, including BTI, BTK, spinosad, and more. This leads to a conversation about biocontrol extracts versus living applications, and how things like enzymes and bacterium extracts differ. Matthew wraps the show by discussing specific applications of these species, and how to work them into your IPM schedule without having redundancies or knocking back your own beneficial bio controls...

Good friend of the show and creator of Bokashi Earthworks Brandon Rust is back! Today he joins the program to discuss dealing with extreme heat, nutrient exchange, and more. Brandon expounds on the important role of silica when dealing with extreme heat, and also emphasizes that having adequate silica available helps deal with both extremely hot AND extremely cold temperatures. This leads to a conversation about bottled silica products, and how depending on the form of the silica provided, you should be adding these products at different stages of growth. Brandon also talks about silicic acid and how the more processed a form of silica, generally the more expensive it becomes. Brandon wraps the show by talking about his Calsil+ and how silica plays with other minerals in a solution.

Rhizo Rich from GrowCast Seed Co is back on the program for an episode about cloning, breeding, and more! Rich gives us an update on his new Apes in Space pollination, and we highlight on of his more popular recent strains, the Peaches En Regalia (named by Wolfman). Rich shares the different expressions he's observed in the PER as well as the other Peachquake crosses, and how well each of them seems to wash. The conversation turns towards taking cuttings, and Rich dives deep into his favorite cloning techniques, which lights and plugs to use, and how to apply additional nutrition early to keep your cuttings extra healthy. This leads to a discussion about adding compost into your soil mixes early, and which composts on the market are some of the most active and effective. Rich also discusses his upcoming breeding work, and we tease our upcoming VA Breeding Class...

The Flavor Pharm: A Terpene Tasting and Education Experience Tampa, FLA, Sept 9 (Use code GROWCAST) Rhizo Rich Breeder Workshop Richmond and VA Beach, Sept 16+17 (Use code GROWCAST) Today's episode is an audio from a Member's Only live stream from July 15th for an Ask Me Anything! Every other Saturday we go live for the members and answer all of their gardening and cannabis questions, you can find the entire video version in membership as well. On this AMA, Wolfman, Rich and MBS join me as we answer a variety of questions from members including questions about nutrient balancing and excess potassium, home breeding, and more. MBS and the team give some great advice on keeping rodents and mammals out of your garden, which takes a different approach to IPM than traditionally insect focused strategies. The crew also discusses using electrostatic sprayers, and how well microbiology could survive the spraying process with these devices- which is an important fact to note when applying things like biocontrols and beneficial microbes to your garden's foliage. The team also covers member questions about deficiency ID, proper up potting, and more. GrowCast Membership (bonus content, member discounts, member discord and more!)

Rooted Leaf Nutrients has BOOSTED code GROWCAST to 30% discount for AUGUST ONLY! Nik is back to discuss possibly the most important soil fertilizer nutrient for cannabis: Potassium! Nik extrapolates on the incredible variety of biological processes that require potassium within our cannabis plants, and how it's a crucial building block when it comes to producing the compounds that we care about in the trichome head. Nik also expounds on the link between potassium expenditure and the plant's ability to take up water- which leads him to reiterate the importance of water uptake when it comes to hydrogen utilization during terpene and cannabinoid synthesis. Nik wraps up the show talking about balancing potassium, and how it's less important to continue to add potassium- and more important to make sure it's applied in the correct ratios.
