Today we dissect the significance of a grower’s strategy on crop results, and meticulously tune into the nuances of plant care and disease management.

Preparing for the harvest, we're going deep into substrate-specific irrigation strategies for the final days, and understanding the critical water content levels to avoid stress and maintain optimal plant health. Jason shares success stories in cleaning up plant genetics and opens up the discussion on the growing trend of employing old school strains and tissue culture in modern cultivation practices.

Plus, we shed light on the financial and effort-related elements of using products like hydrogen peroxide for coco, finessing pH levels for maximum yield, and the ins and outs of managing finicky strains.

Finally, we’re talking pest control, as we arm you with the knowledge to combat the dreaded two-spotted spider mites in veg, and share strategies for maintaining a robust and healthy root system—all while missing our beloved host Kaisha.
