Steve aka Potent Ponics returns to GrowCast for a podcast all about FISH! Steve is a talented and knowledgeable cultivator with a vast amount of grow knowledge, but today we are returning to his roots of aquaponics to discuss one of the most fascinating cultivation styles on Earth. Steve talks about the easiest ways for home growers to incorporate an aquaponics setup- the only setup that produces meat protein! This turns to a conversation about simply incorporating some aquatic microbes even if you aren't an aquaponics grower- this means adding something like fish waste, aquarium water, or even creek/pond water under the right conditions. Steve also talks about the work he is doing with the Natural Farming AI Chat Bot, and how the bot has been shining when it comes to questions that pertain to specific geographic locations.

The one and only Marybeth Sanchez from Team GrowCast is back on the program for an episode all about helping home growers just like you identify deficiencies with confidence! Marybeth teases some upcoming work she will be doing with us here at GrowCast to create a deficiency deep dive series. She goes on to talk about how once you've nailed down which mineral is lacking in the plant- the first step isn't always to just add more minerals. MBS shares the telltale signs of sulfur deficiency, focusing on where the yellowing occurs and how it progresses. She also highlights how this differs from the very rare iron deficiency- and how we can correct these different mineral deficiencies with inputs that are easy to find and safe for the plant. MBS also discusses why humic acids are always so highly recommended when it comes to improving nutrient uptake- especially when your plant is lacking in micronutrients.

Creator of Rooted Leaf Nutrients https://www.rootedleaf.com (use code GROWCAST) Nik is back on the line for an episode all about heavy metals! On this round of our nutrient/element deep dive, Nik discusses the less desirable elements that exist in soil. Mercury, lead, cadmium, and more- these are the elements you DON'T want your plant to uptake or interact with. First Nike explains how these elements occur in nature, and how various industrial processes also contribute to heavy metal extraction and contamination. He goes on to talk about how these elements short circuit and interfere with the plant's ability to grow and develop properly- making them a major threat to healthy plant production. Nik also talks about how to lock up these elements within soil, and how chelation through the use of compounds like humic acids can lock away these harmful substances rendering them benign.

Michael Box from Sustainable Village https://www.sustainablevillage.com is BACK and code GROWCAST is live for 10% off Blu Mats for this month only! Michael joins the program again for another banger of an episode all about watering and irrigation. Michael starts off with a brief history of irrigation practices, and how the brilliant ancient practices were eventually evolved into our modern irrigation products. This leads to a conversation about how water operates within a medium physically, and why it's more complicated than just measuring "how much" water is in your soil. Michael also recaps on his work with moisture retention curves AKA moisture release curves- and how water doesn't dry out of all mediums equally! Michael points out the finer points of understanding soil saturation, and how the different properties of your medium affect the physics within.

Good friend of the show Matthew Gates of Zenthanol Consulting joins the podcast for a TOP FIVE episode which covers the MISTAKES you should certainly avoid in your IPM practices. Matthew talks about the problem with improper scouting or even lack of scouting at all, and how people tend to bury their head in the sand when it comes to infestations. This leads to a conversation about proper treatment when you do see a pest, and how some people tend to only try and treat an infestation with one spray application. The boys cover some other big mistakes including not knowing the natural pest pressure in your area, and not applying pesticide applications to the correct area of your plant/garden...

Brandon Rust is back on GrowCast- apologies for the extra foul language as Brandon comes in hot while discussing the incredible injustice that is taking place in the Oklahoma Cannabis Community. Brandon emphasizes the need for the industry to organize, mobilize, and put legal pressure on the entities that are virtually extorting and destroying countless cannabis businesses, one after another. The conversation shifts towards Brandon's breeding work including the long list of lime work he's done- and Brandon discusses what he thinks about the classic topic of "old school weed vs new school weed." Brandon gives us a sneak peek of what's to come from his breeding work before moving on to maybe his favorite subject: humic and fulvic acids. Brandon talks about how these products are NOT created equally, the different processes they may or may not undergo, and how that determines the effectiveness in our gardens.

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients https://www.rootedleaf.com (use code GROWCAST) is back on the show to continue our nutrient deep dive series! This time we take a step away from soil fertilizer elements and instead discuss PH, EH, and nutrient uptake. Nik talks about what PH is (percentage hydrogen) and why the amount of hydrogen can be used to deduce how available nutrients will be in the solution. Nik talks about the donation of hydrogen atoms and how chelation works inside a solution- highlighting that these availability processes take place totally independently of each other. This leads to conversation about EH, and Nik talks about the redox cycle as well as how oxygenation plays a role in plant health. Nik ties it all together back to photosynthesis and nutrient availability as a whole, and emphasizes how PH is NOT the only determining factor in nutrient availability, just one among other factors that may even be more important in certain scenarios...

The wave of cannabis patents ARE COMING! Today we have a brand new guest Caleb from Copyleft Cultivars- he joins us with mutual friend Steve Raisner to talk about the implications of patenting cannabis genetics. Copyleft explains his mission of open sourcing as many genetics as possible, while also building an open to anyone cannabis genome galaxy. Caleb highlights the difference between his project and other similar projects in the past- and how he is looking to reshape patent law both inside AND outside of cannabis. This leads to a conversation about patent trolls- people who engage in lawsuits around budding new industries and use lawsuits over intellectual property as extortion to get paid off. These groups are incredibly harmful to a variety of industries and cannabis is RIPE for this type of legal attack- which is why it's so important to open source our genetics. Caleb and Steve wrap the show by showcasing their new Natural Farming AI Bot that will produce answers and solutions to garden problems using natural farming inputs.

Good friend of the show Dr. Coco is BACK! This time he's on the line for a deep dive exploration of vapor pressure deficit. Coco recaps what VPD really is- an environmental metric of how "thirsty" the air is. This leads to a conversation about ideal VPD range charts, and how the charts give you a guideline to follow, but no specific instructions on how or why to achieve specific VPD in veg and flower. Coco reiterates that temperature is king, and you should never sacrifice optimal temperature in order to achieve specific VPD levels. The conversation turns towards what's happening to those trichomes on a micro level, with the pressure deficit or "vaccum" affecting how the plant transpires, grows, feeds, and maybe even how it dries and cures. The two wrap up the show by talking about the upcoming new years grow challenge, and the cloning side challenge where people are taking their best, biggest, and smallest clones.

GrowCast Team Member and legendary natural farming expert Marybeth Sanchez is back on the program! MBS is wrapping up her harvest on her amazing property, and talks about her full season cycle and regenerating her land. The conversation turns towards helping growers identify issues in their garden, and Marybeth shares some important tips on identifying problems. She starts by focusing on soil borne pathogens and how they attack your plant tissue DIFFERENTLY than nutrient issues. This is an important distinction because many growers misdiagnose a pathogen as a deficiency, and try to treat the issue with more minerals- which will only worsen the problem. This leads to a larger conversation about how to approach a deficiency in general, and how you should address all other possible solutions before just adding more nutrients.

Nik from Rooted Leaf https://www.rootedleaf.com (use code GROWCAST) is back on the line to wrap up the soil nutrient elements in our Nutrient Deep Dive series! Nik catches us up with a quick recap and then dives into a few of the most important micronutrients, or the nutrients that are required in very small quantities. Nik talks about what those nutrient ratios should look like, and how minerals like Potassium will be needed in vastly greater quantities than the micronutrients we discuss today. Silica is first up, as Nik explains how it plays into cell structure and more. This leads to a conversation about Boron, and what causes plants to develop hollow stems. Iron and Manganese are next on the list, and Nik tells us what we need to do to ensure that these minerals are not only present, but also available in solution- highlighting the importance of proper PH, and understanding how nutrients antagonize one another.
