  1. Terp Mansion & Roach from Jungle Boys – E.45

    Terp Mansion & Roach from Jungle Boys – E.45

    Terp Mansion is one of the fastest scaling Youtube channels in the cultivation space. Located in the Emerald Triangle he has expanded from a homestead to a 75,000+ square feet of canopy operation while living onsite with his family. Join Luke as he sits down with We The Growers Podcast and Roach from Jungle Boys to break down what it actually takes to run a cultivation brand growers respect — greenhouse production, LED vs HPS lighting, cannabis genetics, IPM, and scaling a brand from the bench to 80+ retail doors. We get into Terp Mansion and Jungle Boys time in Athena's Crowdsourced R&D program, including a lower-nitrogen feed strategy built to push smoke quality — nutrient timing, EC adjustments, foliar applications, and side-by-side trials that settle arguments theory never can. Cultivation moves forward when growers share what they learn. Then we go straight at the debate every grower has an opinion on: LED vs HPS. Terp Mansion lays out why LEDs have taken over greenhouse production for consistency and yield — and why HPS-grown flower still holds the edge for hash and rosin thanks to bigger trichome heads. On genetics, we talk Gorilla Glue, SFV OG, and why the old-school OG cultivars keep outgrowing the hype-strain cycle year after year. Whether you're a home grower, commercial cultivator, hash maker, breeder, retailer, or cannabis entrepreneur — this one's full of dirt-under-the-nails insight from someone actually building, testing, and growing at scale.

    Chris Ghostbudsters – E.44

    This episode dives into the future of cannabis R&D through real-world, crowdsourced product testing. Chris from Ghostbudsters joins us to talk about running Athena Pro Line at 3.0 EC, using Fade in the final 7–9 days, and testing new formulations through Athena’s grower-led research program. Alongside Jay from R&D, Chris has been evaluating new PK formulas, Smokeability-focused products, and upcoming releases with controlled, repeatable runs. The testing showed serious gains: more yield, higher THC, increased terpene content, and overall flower quality that checked every box. More importantly, this conversation highlights what the industry needs more of: transparency, honesty, real data, and growers willing to share both wins and losses. Crowdsourced R&D is helping us learn faster, improve products, and build the future of cultivation with the people actually running the rooms.
