Bill from Orange County, growing cannabis in the Sea of Green method Jul 24, 2020

Show notes

Today I'm joined by Bill The OC Grower calling in from sunny Southern California where he's ready to share his cannabis story and tell us all about his current grow setup and the lessons he's learned from his years of growing marijuana. Bill shares how he found Cocoforcannabis.com and how Dr. Coco's site helped Bill reinvigorated love for cannabis cultivation, all about his unique Sea-Of-Green style and grow setup, as well as lessons learned from setting this style of grow up.

Bill does a great job bringing us into his grow room and through his decision to grow Sea of Green and how helpful some growers in the Cocoforcannabis.com forums were in helping encourage this decision. We walk through his strain selection process, including a discussion on genetics and also how important CO2 supplementation can be for a grow.

Find Bill on CocoForCannabis.com under OCMan76 or on Instagram at OCgrower76 and connect with him there!

Tyler from Kansas, all about autoflowering cannabis plants Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Tyler joins me from Kansas to talk all about being a closet-closet (not a typo - gotta listen) autoflower cannabis grower and how he got started consuming cannabis. As a "late bloomer" that found the only true relief from his medical issues from cannabis, and then started growing his own cannabis to relieve that pain, Tyler's story and the message should hit home for a lot of listeners. This is the type of interview that I continue to do what I do and help growers learn to become self-sufficient.

This was a perfectly timed interview because I had a ton of questions to ask that came up during our most recent GrowPass "Ask-Us-Anythings" and I got Tyler's take on all of them. The topics covered range from plant training & topping, light cycles, up potting, and more. Essentially, when it comes to growing autoflowers, the question really is how must stress can a plant endure. That brings us into the conversation about autoflower genetics and the variances that a grower can experience when growing autoflower cannabis plants.

Tyler will be joining our Slack Channel on June 26th at 10am EST if you want to chat about this episode or have questions about growing autoflowering cannabis strains. Join us in Slack HERE!

Show notes

Jordan joins me from Minnesota to finally connect and share his grower's journey!
