(Members check Discord for code) 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! *PROUD NEW PARTNERS: Pulse Grow Room Monitors, industry leader in grow room data and monitoring!

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. *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!

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! *Code growcast15 now works with grow KITS from AC Infinity! www.acinfinity.com use promo code growcast15 for 15% off the BEST grow fans in the game, plus tents, pots, scissors, LED lights, and now GROW KITS!* *Proud partner of FOOP Nutrients!

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! *New PEACHQUAKE Pollination is LIVE at GrowCast Seed Co - experience the incredible Tectonic Truffle cross with the GC Cup winning Truffle Cake lineage, available now while supplies last at GrowCast Seed Co!*

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... *Illinois Classes!
