Cultivation Conversation

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode we are speaking directly to all the new growers out there, and one named "O" in particular who sent us a question via voice message. We hope this episode helps get you guys on the right track when you start up. So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation. Please follow the show at  @cultivation.conver...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we go back to our roots and talk autos vs photos a little bit. It becomes clear that Cap'n's alter ego, @admiralphotoperiod , is starting to dominate the single headspace they both occupy. One of the reasons for this is the feeling of CONTROL he has over the plants. Interestingly enough, this is the same feeling that compels serial killers and rapists...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we go over some things to think about during late flower as you start looking towards chopping your plants. Then, we go over how to harvest HUMANELY and set up drying conditions that will minimize the loss of volatile terpenes and flavonoids... All while both you and your plants are forced to adjust your circadian rhythms to Daylight Savings Time.&nbsp...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we discuss some of the steps involved in starting your own pheno hunt and how doing some of your own selections can improve the quality of your finished product. It's kind of an all over the map sort of episode, but sometimes it's about the journey not the destination.  So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we talk to one of our favorites, @girlgogrow , who will be hosting another grow along starting on 4/20! We discuss the chosen strain, Mango Smile from Mephisto, as well as some others we've been smoking on and how much better they are than dispensary weed.  Then, the Cap'n talks AT her and Monsta for a while, but he's got some hot takes about a co...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we celebrate our 40th episode by discussing the humble origins of the show, as well as a BRAND NEW LIGHT that the Cap'n got. Of course, there's some power considerations that need to be talked through, as well as a number of other grow topics that I can't recall off the top of my head. So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a...

The Conversation is BACK, and in this episode, we get caught in the weeds while discussing how to identify and correct the most common "nutrient deficiencies". I put that term in quote because, well... just listen and find out! 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...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, the Cap'n has a bone to pick with quite a few things and he goes on a bit of a tirade of HOT TAKES. I'm not even sure you're ready for the OPINIONS that get unleashed within the first 40 min of the show. But at the end of the day, all they are is OPINIONS, and like my grandpa said - "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one and they usually stink...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we go over some best practices and things to consider when foliar feeding your plants. As always, there's lots more, but due to the unscripted nature of the show as well as my inability recall short term memories, you'll just have to listen to find out what it is.  So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conv...

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 bif...

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 Cultiv...

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...

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...

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, g...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we talk germination, early veg, and so much more that I can hardly remember. The Cap'n's laptop fan chimes in on more that one occasion, a solution for that is incoming. 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  @t...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode, we go ballistic on bugs. 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. Then, we talk purple stems and learn a little bit about what the voice in Cap'n's head is saying. So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke...

The Conversation is BACK and in this episode we talk to @barelee.growin. She's a super cool gal from Oklahoma who's somewhat like a ganja growing Annie Oakley. At least in my mind she is. With her explicit consent, you're going to spend the next hour going deep inside her garden and finding out what makes it work so well.  Please like, share, comment and subscribe because we will be coming at...

The Convnersation is BACK and in this special interview, we have the pleasure of speaking with Michael from @sustainablevillage - who is your source for all things Blumat, and more! 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 re...

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 somewha...

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. We hope you agree! So sit back, relax, grab something to smoke on and get ready for a Cultivation Conversation. Please follow the show at&...

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 t...

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 gr...

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 too...

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 al...

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 be...
