🚨NEW GrowCast on YT, KLM SEED DROP MONDAY! Pheno Hunt Round Two is a BATTLE ROYALE!

Pest expert Matthew Gates is back, and this time you're in for a doozy! The boys start the show by discussing a recent infestation in Jordan's garden, of a pest that is seemingly less common in indoor spaces: leaf miner type insect pests. Often confused with thrips damage, these particular pests need to be approached with a totally different strategy, and Jordan shares his non scientific trial of spraying down his plants with an abundant solution of living nematodes. The conversation turns to powdery mildew- which is one of the oldest, most ancient, fast spreading, and adaptable plant pests on planet Earth. Not only do these intelligent species of fungi adapt their genes to resist your attacks as a farmer, but they can mutate and adapt in as little as a few weeks. Also, the fact that PM relies on similar pathways as beneficial fungis like myco, may point to a hint that PM was once a beneficial, who has since gone rogue and turned to the dark side. If it's true, as many mycologists theorize, that fungi can survive space travel, and may have been some of the first life to land on this planet via asteroid, then this enemy your dealing with is a truly ancient, and highly intelligent one.

OKCalyxx returns to the show for a winter update about everything he is doing to prepare for the big thaw! Calyxx shares the story of how he's kept his same vegging plants alive through the entire winter- even though his grow shed is literally freezing over currently due to the extreme cold. He talks about growing big plants outside, and how he plans to take these to full term until the 2025 harvest. OKC also updates us on his breeding projects, where he is still continuing a lot of his current work- but also incorporating more funk into his genetic pool. We wrap up the show by teasing one of the greatest grow classes of 2025, the Autumn Natural Farming Immersive.

Wonderful friend of the show Kristina from Bloom Healthcare and formerly from the Chrom Six concentrate company joins the podcast for the very first time! Kristina gives a little background on her history cultivating in Oklahoma, and how medical legalization rocked the state- and propelled her growing career. She expands a little bit on what it's like to hunt phenotypes from seed to solvenetless, and shares some stories about losing amazing cuts from years past. This leads to a conversation about a cut that has been discussed on this show before- the legendary Chrome Cut of Duck Confit, a cross made by Terp Wizard. Kristina talks about her duck's recent "happy accident," and how the pollen is passing all sorts of raunchy and funky profiles onto the progeny- with aromas that make you physically recoil. Those are some seriously "fowl" plants! GRAND PHENO HUNT ROUND TWO - Who will walk away with $1,000 and the title of Hunt Champion?

Dr. Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com returns the to show for an incredibly informative episode in a new series where we examine the major differences between indoor and outdoor growing. Today we start with maybe the most significant difference that you can image: the difference between the sun, and the grow light in your home grow setup. Dr. Coco discusses the concept of light spectrum, and how grow light technology has evolved to have two main peak points of light within the full spectrum. This differs, he explains, from the incredibly full and rich spectrum of the sun- which Dr. Coco says is not truly replicable by any modern light tech. This leads to a conversation about UV light, which Dr. Coco isn't a huge fan of... Which begs the question, if the sun is so different from our grow light, how important is that difference anyways?
