Welcome to the Marijuana Cultivation Cannabis Podcast, hosted by Steven Glansberg, broadcasting live from James A. Garfield Studios. Get ready to dive deep into the essentials of watering techniques, CO2 enrichment, and making the most out of your larf, trim, and shake after harvesting.
First up, we tackle the fundamental yet crucial aspect of watering your plants. Steven breaks down the intricacies of watering based on different grow mediums like soil, coco coir, and hydroponics. Discover why watering deeply but infrequently is key for soil, the benefits of keeping coco coir consistently moist, and the precision required for hydroponics. Each medium presents its own set of challenges and rewards, and mastering these can make or break your grow.
Next, we elevate our grow with CO2 enrichment. Steven explains how adding CO2 can supercharge your plants, leading to faster growth and bigger yields. Learn about the different methods of CO2 supplementation, from simple bags and bottles to advanced tanks and generators. Steven also covers the importance of balancing CO2 levels with light, nutrients, and environmental conditions to maximize your plants' potential.
The episode then transitions into a more creative realm: what to do with your larf, trim, and shake. Steven shares various methods to turn what some might consider waste into valuable products. From making canna butter for edibles to extracting kief and hash, the possibilities are endless. He also delves into more advanced techniques like rosin pressing and BHO extraction, providing tips and safety precautions for those interested in making potent concentrates.
For those not into edibles or concentrates, Steven offers alternative uses for your leftovers. Composting can enrich your soil for future grows, while juicing fresh cannabis leaves provides a nutrient-packed health boost without the psychoactive effects. You can even infuse oils for topical applications, creating salves and balms to relieve aches and skin conditions.
