Great friend of the show and upcoming instructor of the Autumn Natural Farming Immersive- OKCalyxx is back on the show! Today he is here to discuss all the happenings on regenerative plot of land, and share some great natural farming advice with us! OKC opens the show by opening up about the tremendous impact that plant medicines have had on his life and his mental health. This leads to a conversation about natural systems, and how engaging in them can bring you peace and health. Calyxx focuses in on some of his recent ferment work, and discusses in depth his use of horsetail FPE. He also updates on his now years old manure extract, and how these natural inputs are making an impact on his garden.

Today we have a first time guest on the podcast side- Aaron of ATG Acres joins us for an episode about his journey from legacy to legal, organic commercial cannabis production, and more! Aaron tells his story of growing up cultivating and how he moved around and crafted his style in order to survive legalization as a craft farmer. This leads to a discussion about his living soil oriented grow style, and how Aaron views the end of the cannabis plant's life cycle in particular. Aaron shares his pre harvest strategies, as well as a step by step walk through of his actual harvest and hang dry process. He puts an emphasis on lowering temperatures during his very particular drying and curing parameters, and making up for the slower dry time with a pre harvest dryback. Aaron also extrapolates on curing and storage- as well as gives some rapid fire strain breakdowns from cultivars currently running on his farm.

Be sure to follow @hygrozyme on Instagram and hit their newest post to enter the giveaway!! www.instagram.com/hygrozyme After a hit first episode, Doug and Leanne from Hygrozyme are BACK! Today Team Hygrozyme joins us for an entire episode about ROOT PATHOGENS. I cannot personally tell you how many times I've seen these pathogens misdiagnosed as a nutrient deficiency. Doug discusses his work in the lab where he starts by individually testing specific antagonistic compounds on living samples of these pathogens in vitro. Once he has found 3 or 4 top candidates for anti pathogenic substances, Hygrozyme enlists real life field tests to see if the new compound is effective when the rubber meets the road. Leanne gives us a tease as to what the newest product in the line is going to be- being dubbed with the amazing name "Hygropunch!" Our two guests also explain exactly what it takes to maintain healthy, clean root systems- and highlight the importance of keeping your medium free of necrotic material and other things that invite in the worst pathogens that you would never want to see in your garden!

Continuing our IPM theme we revisit with the great Potent Ponics Steve! Steve gives an update on his travels and his work with Copyleft, which leads to a conversation about the new Phylos seed drop. Steve gives his thoughts on the history of cannabis genetic patents, and the new controversies we face today. The conversation turns back towards Steve's amazing journeys around the world, and he regales us with stories of the worst pest infestations he's ever seen. From aphid attacks that turn into aphid farms, to having to battle elephants and hippos in Africa- Steve has seen just about everything. He also gives a great breakdown on IPMO, and how insecticidal microbes work on the pests that we hate most!

Pest expert and instructor of Pestapalooza Matthew Gates is back on the podcast! Today Matthew discusses how the health of your plant may or may not play into garden infestations, and how we often think about how pests take hold incorrectly. Matthew explains how simply interrupting the pests "economy," and reducing their efficiency, will be a huge step in saving your garden. This goes against the "pest decides to attack or not" mentality, and Matthew emphasizes the need for more data and studies on plants' abilities to resist pests of all varieties. Matthew also talks about beneficial insects, how to use them optimally in different types of setups, and how to incorporate them into your current IPM plan. HUGE ROOTED LEAF 420 SALE!

Nik returns just before 4/20 with an episode for our nutrient deep dive series- this time focusing on the development of nutrient formulas themselves. Nik gives a good overview of the history of fertilization, from ancient people's following kelp blooms for fertilizer harvests all the way to the comparatively recent development of modern petro fertilizers. This leads to a conversation about how cannabis specific targets are a new and developing science, and how even now you can find some blends where the nutrient levels are way out of whack. Nik talks about the importance of calcium delivery and how Rooted Leaf differs from so many other lines- which leads to a conversation about the evolution of chelating agents, including a very interesting story about anthocyanin acting as a nutrient chelator. Nik wrap the show by reminding folks that Rooted Leafs HUGE 420 sale is on, code GROWCAST420 saves you 42% on ROOTED LEAF NUTRIENTS!
