Episode 25: It's a SOLO SHOW! It's just me, Rob, sharing my thoughts!

, I start off sharing more details about my background and history within the cannabis space. I know a lot of people have heard me on episodes of Growcast or have followed my entrepreneurial journey with Atlas Plant Trainer but I’ve never really shared the full details of our grow before. So this is the opportunity to hear in greater detail exactly how the rooms and business were set up. I then move onto discussing what to pay attention to in order to improve overall plant health. While lots of guests have said environment, and I couldn’t agree more, I talk about the time you spend in and attention you pay to your garden and your plants. Check them over regularly, take pictures, make notes and you’ll be quick to notice differences in the plant. Spotting problems before they get out of hand is key in order to prevent them from getting out of hand. Of course, I discuss Low-Stress Training and how critical it is to increasing bigger yields. I try not to go on and on like I can do, when discussing low-stress training. Reach out to me if you’d like to have a more detailed explanation of low-stress training emailed to you. Right around 27 minutes I discuss my IPM protocols from my previous grows and what I’ve changed from learning more about biocontrols and natural, organic gardening practices. I share my experience with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome and the potential for pesticides and even heavy nutrient usage being a lead cause of CHS. Neem poisoning has been linked directly to extreme vomiting but doesn’t seem to have the same resolution as CHS. I also suggest using The Amazing Doctor Zymes and Mammoth Bio Control as two products I would trust on the market right now. Persistence and patience are the two character traits that I think every grower needs to possess in order to grow some truly amazing cannabis. We’re all going to make mistakes in the garden as we learn, hell, we’re gonna make mistakes when we’re learning anything. Have patience with yourself and don’t get frustrated or overwhelmed. The last words of advice that I share at 42:30 is to not forget that there are still many people that are still not able to grow cannabis legally and we have to fight for our rights to grow. Even against other people in the legal cannabis industry, as they lobby to reduce or eliminate our rights to grow a plant at home and provide medicine for ourselves. Don’t stop fighting, or supporting those that are fighting for the rights of home growers everywhere.

This is my solo episode; I hope you enjoy it! I had a lot of fun recording this and sharing all of my thoughts as I’ve gone through the last 6 months of recording this podcast. I’ve learned a lot from our guests and changed my opinions on some of our questions as this project has progressed. I’m excited to share my thoughts with you in greater detail. Right at 7:00, I start off sharing more details about my background and history within the cannabis space.
