The Truth About Delta 8 THC

The entire cannabis industry is feeling the strain of a struggling economy, but is the Oklahoma cannabis market to blame for it all?

Blue Dream, Green Crack, Gorilla Glue, Wedding Cake. All of these strains had their time in the spotlight before fading away as more strains gained popularity. And the strains that are popular now will face a similar fate soon enough. Such is the process of cannabis breeding and selective genetics. Dubbed “The Blue Dream Effect”, it is the process of a strain blowing up on the market to the point where everybody is growing it…until they aren’t. Maybe it is a new, better strain that uses the original as a parent, or an entirely different strain that doesn’t even compare. One way or another, a strain that sits at the top can’t sit there forever. In the final segment of The Real Dirt ft. Front Row Ag, Chip and his guests discuss selective breeding and grow design trends.

Part 2 of 3 of The Real Dirt with Chip Baker featuring Front Row Ag. Part 2 dives into the science behind Front Row Ag, irrigation and more.

Powder nutrients, liquid nutrients, salts….what’s the difference? Probably not as much as you might think.

In Part 2 of his interview with Freaux of Jive Cannabis Co, Chip takes Freaux into the Mom House to talk construction and set up. From HVAC and Lighting to measurements and adjustments, Chip and Freaux get into the Real Dirt of building out an indoor grow facility.

It's quite possibly a debate as old as cannabis cultivation itself. Exaggeration aside, who really wins the indoor vs greenhouse debate?

Cannabis extracts have evolved. Solvent based extracts are slowly losing their top spot as solventless concentrates like Live Rosin begin to take over. But why is rosin so popular? Hear from Chris Williams who started Souly Solventless, a cannabis extract and edible producer in Colorado who only uses solventless rosin to make his products. In this episode he shares how it's made, why it's so much better than your average butane-based wax or shatter, how it is evolving into new and innovative products, the future of extraction and more.

There's a lot that goes into growing quality cannabis. It's easy to forget that pH is one of the most important factors!

Overlooking this can have some nasty results, like spending valuable time searching for a nutrient deficiency when all you really need to do is adjust your pH. Get the real dirt on pH and its importance, from why it matters and how to monitor it to solving simple and complex issues that can be caused by your pH, all from longtime friend of the show and legendary cannabis expert, Uncle John Picirrilli from Cutting Edge Solutions.
