. What’s the key to bigger yields off a limited number of plants. Christian goes back to ensuring that your environment is dialed into perfection. Make sure your plants are happy and healthy, and they will reach their full potential. He suggests to new growers to start off with autoflower strains to eliminate chances of failure. Right before 20 minutes, we get into a discussion about topping vs pinching. He is totally against cutting the plant due to the recovery time and leans towards a twist and pinch motion to change the direction of growth. How does Christian keep his plants clean and healthy? Grandevo is his go-to preventative, but he’s used other products like Regalia as a root drench and foliar spray. He’s also used Azamax and Pyganic. He goes on to talk about the importance of how to spray your plants over what to spray on them between 26 and 29 minutes. What are the character traits that make the most successful cannabis growers? He suggests that it’s a fine line between understanding and ambition, someone that’s enthusiastic about gardening but can take things slowly and not over complicate things. He goes on to say that a grower must be ok with failure, and keep at the process in order to succeed. He urges all his new clients to read the Jeff Lowenfels series of “Teaming With...” which includes microbes, nutrients, and fungi. I talk about the Regenerative Organic Cannabis Conference and how important spaces like this are to the future of our cannabis industry. They have 4 conferences scheduled From California, Canada, Michigan, and Maine but also plan on some live stream of the events as well, so if you can’t make it make sure you sign up for one of those. This team is doing amazing work, and we fully support their mission.   Christian’s parting shot: Just keep going. You’ll make mistakes, you’ll want to stop, you’ll want to make it easy and go buy your own product. Don’t. Keep going, and keep improving and you’ll get it dialed in and you’ll be really happy with the results. Our GrowPass partners for this show are Sohum Living Soils and Cultilux!
