The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we talk to Bucky from @brothers_in_farms_genetics about their recent seed drop! We tried to talk to Baz , too, but the audio gods got angry. The Brothers have four exciting new strains that are guaranteed to be community tested and approved - two auto flowers and two photoperiods - plus LOTS more like growing info, merch, and 3D printed products at bifbeans.com We also get into Bucky's personal style of growing, as well as a whole bunch of other cool...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we celebrate the Cap'n finally taking his life back by setting up his Autopots. After the victory lap, we get into a discussion about nanners. Where and when can they usually be found? How are they different than balls? What do they mean in the grand scheme of the universe? So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation. Please follow the show at @cultivation.conversation and follow your hosts at @therealg...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, it's like you're listening to two brand new hosts and a brand new show! A massive sound upgrade if I may say so myself. The discussion this week is about the limiting factors that may be impacting the quantity or the quality of your harvests. There's five main categories - genetics, lighting, environment, medium, nutrients - and we dive into them while ranking their importance. There's two parts where the conversation had to be edited. One you'll har...

The Conversation is BACK and in this festive episode, the boys are extra full of holiday cheer. The focus of the discussion is on using saponins in your water, but that holiday cheer makes sure we stray way off course. At some point, I'm pretty sure the Cap'n forgets who he is and what he's doing. We have no one but Ms. Judy Gemstone to blame for that. As always, you'll likely learn a thing or two about growing while laughing your ass off! So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get r...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode we discuss the various ways you could outfit your grow to eliminate downtime between harvests and make sure you are always trimming... I mean, fully stocked with fresh buds - AKA the PERPETUAL GROW. Then, the bong rips take hold, and we drift far, far away from where we started, but you know that's where the real gold can be found. So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation. Please follow the show at @c...

The Cap'n will tell you about the Great Fungus Gnat Eradication of 2021, while Monsta will give you the facts about spraying in flower along with some great preventative maintenance tips.

Blumat is an automated irrigation system that is extremely versatile and easy to use. Michael will tell us all about it in the next hour. We cannot say enough how important your soil moisture level is, and this is a reliable way to maintain IDEAL conditions. PLUS, they are having a pretty great sounding Black Friday ...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we talk about growth spurts (in both plants and people) and how the Cap'n plans on using his autopots... organically! Then, we answer some listener questions about everything from tent airflow to boofing edibles. All I know is I hit record, laughed a lot, then it was over an hour later. Usually, that means we're in for a pretty entertaining and somewhat informative show. So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation C...

The Conversation is BACK and we got a full show for ya today! We talk about cleaning in-between runs, elevating your pots, chasing VPD, letting your autoflowers sleep, aerating / re-using your medium, and much, much more. This one felt particularly informative.

The Conversation is BACK, baby! We dive right into the deep end on this one and discuss the CO2 question. Then, after a minor technical difficulty that you likely won't even notice, we go over a few end-of-cycle techniques that we use to increase yields and get better looking fades. As always, there's little golden tidbits of grow info scattered all over the show, but you'll have to wade through the lighthearted banter and witty jokes to find them. So sit back, relax, spark one up and get ready ...

The Conversation is BACK and this one is all over the map (well... aren't they all?). We go from discussing autoflower breeding and marketing strategies to ruminating on drying environments in the blink of an eye. Then, we get into a seriously shitty condition that the Cap'n has been dealing with for over a decade and it's not a vitamin C deficiency! As always, the trail is littered with useful grow tips. So sit back, relax, spark one up and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation. Please follo...

The conversation is BACK and we are all over the map on this one. We go from talking about lighting and using it to grow bigger plants, to discussing nutrients and our own feeding programs. Monsta is pretty regimented and scientific when it comes to his plants' nutrition, while the Cap'n is just flying by the seat of his pants. But, for both of us, it's all a matter of having lots of different tools in your toolbox. We even touch on what bokashi and vegemite have in common, and it might surprise...

The conversation is BACK in an OG style episode. No interview, it's just Monsta and Cap'n shooting the shit and solving their own growing problems on tape. We talk about maintaining an ideal environment during lights out, whether or not a mid-cycle flush can be beneficial, and we go "just the tip" into a topic that will need its own episode (at least) to cover: nutrients. Oh, and we learn where all the pantyhose in Cap'n's house has gone... and it's even weirder than you might think! So sit back...

So much has happened since part one, that we felt obligated to update ya with a little bonus episode. Sadly, balls were found where lady parts should be on three of @admiralphotoperiod's plants. In such incidents, the main question you must answer is "was it grower error or genetics?" and this episode follows the path taken to reach a conclusion. HINT: It's probably not genetics. Check yourself before you wreck yourself! Special thanks to @jointcustodyseeds for coming back to talk about it. Plea...

The conversation is back and we are joined by a familiar voice - @jointcustodyseeds, who was our very first guest! We discuss a number of things, from the awesome sounding lineup of his upcoming seed drop to using human breast milk as a foliar spray. Of course we hit on the mighty fine job it LOOKS like @admiralphotoperiod is doing with Joint's neurotoxins... But, unbeknownst to the guys, there is a serious problem in the champagne room.

WE'RE BACK FOLKS!!! Sorry for the unexpected hiatus - sometimes real life gets really real, but we do appreciate all the new listeners in the meantime. Thanks for being patient, but now it's time to get back to the conversation. It's just Monsta and the Cap'n this time and we kick it off discussing the intimacy of hand watering.

@jointcustody_seedco is with us for this episode in OUR FIRST INTERVIEW and he shares his methods for breeding and growing using organics. His strain, “neurotoxin” sounds like it’s a perfect fit for the Cap’n’s grow style. The talk then gets more esoteric in nature as we discuss epigenetics, astro physics, and even extraterrestrial cannabis. So sit back, relax, and grab something to smoke on, because it’s time for a cultivation conversation.
