Air Layering, Competing Soil Life, Autoflowers, and More, with Marybeth Sanchez
Truly one of the most beloved members of Team GrowCast Marybeth Sanchez returns to the show for an incredibly informative episode covering a wide variety of grow topics. Marybeth gives us an update on the autoflower grow she has going and gives her thoughts on the already extremely well-received Mandalorian Genetics- specifically the Anvil. The conversation then turns towards living soil, and Jordan and Marybeth have a back-and-forth about bokashi and integrating it into cannabis grows. This leads to a conversation about competing organisms in soil, and Marybeth gives a few good guidelines for living soil cultivators. Then Marybeth discusses something that is incredibly underutilized in the cannabis world; air layering, or air cloning. This is a process where the cutting's roots are developed while it's still attached to the plant, and the resulting clone is much larger and more vigorous when taken into its own container. Marybeth also talks about her work in the Slack chat, and all the funs things that GrowCast has planned for 2021!

Supersoil Challenge Final Results, Microbes, Organic Vs Synthetic, and More, with Rhizo Rich
GrowCast Team Member Rhizo Rich returns to the podcast for a final update about the supersoil challenge he conducted where the same cut was grown out in 9 different organic "water only" style soils. Rich updates us on the final end products of the challenge, and which differences he saw in their quality, yield, and more. The conversation then turns to a recent GrowCast discussion on organic versus synthetic products, and Rhizo Rich gives his opinion as a 14 year grower in both systems. He also brings up a very successful synthetic run that someone did with his recent cuts, and comments on the differences in yield, bud structure, and consumption experiences. This leads to a discussion about microbes, and Jordan speculates based on his work in the coffee world and speaking with medical doctors, that sterility may be more of an enemy than "synthetic" farming.
