We're kicking off worldwide December with an EPIC episode from across the pond! Fervent cannabis activist and host of Martin's World Podcast Martin Condon joins the program for an in depth exploration of Irish cannabis cultivation in their unique climate, growing laws in Ireland and the EU as a whole, plus much more. Martin talks about battling the misty marshy Irish climate, and which regions became notable for cannabis cultivation. He also discusses some of the strains that the old heads in Ireland were working with, and his previous experience growing. The conversation turns towards activism and Martin gives several inspiring accounts of activism by himself and some of his European peers, which has finally put the legislators in a position to confront their atrocious medical program.

Rhizo Rich, the man with the plan, is back again! Today he gives us a rundown of all the breeding work he's been doing with GrowCast Seed Co, including the upcoming Peachquake line. Jordan and Rhizo break down some of their favorite new strains in Rich's garden, including the Peach Maraschino by Lovin' and Truffle Cake by In House. The conversation then turns towards popular microbial inputs, and the guys break down what you're getting with many of these microbe products, and where redundancies may lie. Jordan also talks about non cannabis facing brands, and how cannabis farmers can often save money by going to big ag sources for the same active ingredients. The guys also reveal the long awaited myco brand that a previous guest was too polite to mention ;)

A slight departure from Crobe-vember (don't forget pests are an important pathogen vector to address too!) with a beloved guest; Marybeth Sanchez returns to the podcast to discuss an area of her expertise that we haven't visited in a while- integrated pest management. MBS discusses the life cycles of the most common insect pests we face in the garden, and the importance of understanding how they breed. The fungus gnat (born pregnant) requires a different approach to treatment than, say, the spider mite, where sprays can be more effective in halting the entire pest cycle. This leads to a conversation about where pests like to congregate and reproduce, and how proper treatment relies upon understanding the movement patterns of insect pests as well. MBS also discusses general IPM strategies, her new toy The Microbiometer, and more...

Winter is coming... But 'Crobe-vember is now! You know her, you love her, Queen of the Sun is back on GrowCast! Today we are discussing the approach of winter, and what that means to outdoor cannabis farmers- as well as microbes in the soil. Alexandria talks about overwinter cover crops, and why it's so important to keep that biology thriving in the soil through the winter months and into the spring. She discusses the different companion plants and cover crops she likes to utilize, and what their primary purposes are. The Queen also talks about genetics that are suitable for outdoors, versus some of the more finicky hype indoor strains that might cause you severe problems when exposed to the elements...

It's Crobe'vember all month long here at GrowCast, and we're focusing on MICROBIOLOGY! Today's guest is Dr. Judith Fitzpatrick from the Microbiometer team (code growcast), and she's here today to dive deep into home microbe testing. Judith starts by talking about her incredible background experience in the medical testing field of all things, and how her many advances in the health field led her down the path of studying soil microbiology and regenerative agriculture. Judith talks about why microbiology is so important to cannabis growers, and she talks about the unique needs of cannabis and how it relates to the soil. She also discusses home testing with the microbiometer, her work with Jeff Lowenfels, and the importance of a robust microbial system in order to achieve a healthy organic garden.

You know him, you love him! From www.cococforcannabis.com Dr. Coco returns for another eye-opening episode about cultivation! Dr. Coco begins by goin' off on home grown plants (of various species) versus large scale agriculture produce- and shares a very poignant and analogous story about how tomatoes are harvested, treated, and processed for sale in the USA. This leads to a conversation about certifications, and the unintended consequences of different agricultural certifications. The discussion turns towards the wonderful and magical powers of humic acids, and Dr. Coco gives an overview of all the incredible uses humic acids have... From dechlorination to increasing nutrient uptake and even binding harmful heavy metals in the soil- be sure to use humic acids in your garden early and often!
