Ricky from Riverview Living Soil has returned to the program for a stellar episode about optimizing your grow through improved nutrient uptake! Ricky gives us an update on his new product line and his foray into worm farming, which leads to a conversation on the benefits of quality castings. Castings aside, live worms themselves do incredible things in the soil to optimize nutrient uptake for plants. Not only do they increase the bio-availability of all types of nutrition, but they also help carry minerals from one area of the soil- where the mineral may be rich- to another part of the soil- where the mineral may be lacking. Ricky describes the three main ways that plants uptake nutrients, and extrapolates  on how things like saponins- as well as worms- help increase the efficiency of all three types of nutrient uptake.

FREE bottle of micro flow for a limited time with ANY ORDER using CODE GROWCAST at www.rootedleaf.com We always talk about microbes, and how magical they are. But compared to plants microbes are like ancient cave people, rubbing sticks together and painting cave paintings for the almighty plant gods. Join Nik as we explore the complexity of Oxygen in our gardens, and the incredible electrical power that plants have to split the oxygen apart from H2O molecules. Oxygen is like the stoner friend who always shows up to the smoke circle, smokes everyone else's bud, and ruins the circle. Oxygen is constantly degrading things, "downhill," while plants have the incredible power to reverse this oxidative process that affects virtually all of the world around us.

What are the most important actions you can take as a cannabis grower to SUPERCHARGE your soil system for healthier, heavier plants? Organic gardening guru and GrowCast team member Marybeth Sanchez is back on the podcast for an episode about helping your plants thrive via a thriving soil system. The exploration starts out with the basics, an overview of minerals, microbes, and moisture. Then we dive into trips and tricks to try employing in your soil grow... Such as increasing your top dress decomposition, tips on raising worms, and how to avoid inviting pathogens into your grow when incorporating mulch. Then the conversation turns to micronutrients, the last jigsaw piece in the perfect plant puzzle. Marybeth talks about zinc, boron, and molybdenum deficiencies- and how to spot them easily. We wrap up the show talking about sea based products, and how so many micro nutrient products are derived from sea flora or sea water itself.

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST) returns for another deep dive- this time moving away from soil fertilizer elements and delving into watering dynamics. Nik introduces us a concept called SPAC, or soil, plant, air, continuum (AKA the soil, plant, atmosphere continuum). This concept encompasses a more holistic view when it comes to optimal climate conditions in our cannabis grows- whereas singular metrics like VPD can sometimes be only part of the picture. Nik discusses how we should be thinking about what happens to all that water that we dump into the soil system after we put it in there... Plants, after all, are just water lifting mechanisms designed to move that water from the soil into the atmosphere. Understanding and mastering this cycle leads to a healthier, and more vigorous garden.

Can we actually use cannabis plants to uptake precious metals like nickel and maybe even GOLD using the power of bio-accumulation? Spectacular brand new guest Song Jin from Gaia Technologies joins the program for an absolutely incredible episode about microbes, mineral solubility, soil remediation, and more. Song talks about his journey from environmentalism work into plant health and fertilizer, and eventually what led him to create Ginate digest humate products. Song discusses some of the incredible work he now does, including his recent trip to DC for a phyto-mining summit- where they are researching how to use hyper accumulator plants to actually extract precious minerals from the ground by using a special microbial metal solubility enhancer, and process the metal out of the harvested plants. Can you imagine using cannabis to mine gold from the ground?

He expanded his work into his own brand, Grease, and now deals in soil conditioners, ferments, additives and more. Mike breaks down exactly how the hormone Triacontanol triggers your plant into producing up to 20% more flower weight- and how additives like these differ from other bottled products. Mike also shares more information about his love of applying cannabis and trichome ferments to his own garden, and how feeding the plant back to itself can produce major benefits.

Dr. Colin Bell - formerly of Mammoth Microbes and currently working with the incredible Miim Horticulture - returns to the show! Today we are doing a microbial deep dive in an attempt to understand what is essentially a massive iceberg of microbe knowledge. We only know a brief portion of how powerful and influential micro organisms are, but every year we are understanding more and more about how bacteria, fungi, and other tiny beings shape the world around us. Colin gives us a great breakdown of how microbes work from a basic perspective, how they interact and communicate with plants, and eventually dives deep enough to explain that just about everything to do with the human experience is powered by the microbiology within our own human microbiome. Even plants themselves, may have evolved from collections of ancient bacteria- thus it is crucial to understand and employ more of these tiny organisms in our own home gardens!
