GrowCast Jordan River

Talented Instagram grower @jotaherb is back on the podcast, this time to discuss some hot button grow issues. Jota talks about his view of flushing, and how feels that many growers really misunderstand the concept of what flushing is and how it affects your plants buds, if at all. Jordan and Jota talk about the lack of science behind the effects of flushing, but it's so incredibly ubiquitous that many growers believe there is benefit to the practice. Then the conversation turns towards IPM, and the wide variety of natural pest control options that we have available to us today- including effective and non toxic pest sprays. This leads to a conversation about neem, and Jota shares his thoughts on why he doesn't particularly recommend using any form of neem in your cannabis grow.

Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com is back for another podcast, this time talking about the long awaited topic of diagnosing problematic issues in cannabis plants. Dr. Coco talks about how he has five major factors that he considers whenever he runs into issues with his grow: Climate, Light, Pests, Roots, and Nutrients. Dr. Coco walks us through each of these five facets of growing, and details what we should be thinking about and examining in our grow room to determine the best course of action. Maybe fungus gnat problems, for instance, get misdiagnosed as deficiencies according to Dr. Coco. Rather than just rushing to your nutrient deficiency chart next time you see discoloration, Dr. Coco recommends you do a full run down of your grow, and the most important factors that comprise it, and use a process of elimination to find and remedy the issue plaguing your grow.

RIP Subcool

Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com returns to the show, this time to explore the truth about grow lights. Dr. Coco discusses the recent research he has been working on with his partner, and what the compiled data has shown him. This leads to a conversation about grow light metrics, specifically PPF, and what exactly is going on when measuring PPF in various ways. He then talks about wattage, and the misconception that wattage can accurately translate to any sort of output expectation when it comes to LEDs. Dr. Coco extrapolates on the different types of LEDs that are currently manufactured, including LEDs with COB systems, and the prolific new "printed circuit board" style, also known as quantum boards.
