Unleash the Secrets of Living Soil with Luna Whitcomb! 

Get ready to dive deep into the groundbreaking world of terroir, organic cultivation, soil food web, and growing stinky plants in big ass pots with our guest, Luna Whitcomb, on this episode of The Circle!

Luna reveals how every element – from soil composition, light spectrum, and water quality to microbial biodiversity – profoundly influences the genetic expression and aromatic profile of your plants.In this must-listen episode, you'll discover:

• The Science of Terroir: Understand how location, environment, and precise soil building can create truly unique and expressive cannabis.

• Boosting Genetic Potential: Learn how to leverage precursors, co-factors, and beneficial biology to amplify desired aromas and characteristics in your plants, even discussing specific methods to enhance traits like a "blueberry type terp" expression.

• Beyond the Basics: Advanced Inputs & Teas: Explore Luna's innovative use of prebiotic-rich beets for fostering diverse biology, the power of malted barley and sprouted seed teas for enzyme activity, and how to "stage cycle" your compost teas to tailor bacterial and protozoa populations for rapid nutrient cycling.

• The Power of Companion Plants: Hear how integrating plants like alyssum and even aromatic jasmine can naturally enhance growth rates through phytohormones (like methyl jasmonate) and potentially influence terpene communication in your grow space.

Luna candidly shares her journey, from her early hydroponic days to becoming a living soil consultant, emphasizing foundational knowledge like soil mineral balancing theory to avoid common pitfalls (like her infamous "dissolved roots" incident!).

This episode is packed with invaluable insights for both beginners and experienced growers looking to "nerd out" and elevate their craft.

Whether you're curious about maximizing genetic expression or simplifying your approach to organic gardening, Luna's passion and practical expertise will change the way you think about growing.
