Calling all grow nerds—this is an extra special episode where we get answers about how to cultivate your herb with the best nutrient lines possible straight from the horse’s mouth. Blackleaf brings two legends of the grow into the studio, Rex and Jason, owners of Drip Hydro to talk cultivation, canopy management, and all things nutrients. Drip Hydro specializes in creating clean, effective, and cost-efficient nutrient solutions for plant cultivation, backed by over 35 years of industry experience. Their products, available in fluid and powder forms, are designed to deliver precise nutrition while preventing issues like salt buildup and poor flavor, making them compatible with various irrigation systems and growing mediums. One of the overarching things we discuss during this podcast is how to properly provide nutrients to your plants at any scale, along with the ongoing conversation of genetic preservation, highlighting the varieties we all truly miss like Skunk, Northern Lights 5, and the original Urkle. Blackleaf also fires off countless questions during this podcast that only a fellow grower would know to ask such as why growing has gotten so complicated, what it’s like running greenhouses in Santa Barbara, how cultivation is going down in Puerto Rico, the key to finding top-shelf flower in LA these days, and some of their favorite genetics they’ve run over the past decades. That isn’t to say that Rex and Jason don’t also let loose plenty of insider opinions throughout this episode as well. You’ll hear Rex weigh in on the history of BHO and why it’s a dead industry today, as well as the problem with LA growers all using the same genetics these days. Between all of the knowledge bombs and never-before-heard stories, you’ll even hear Jason talk about his early days in Colorado, selling bags to Anna from CAM before she set up shop in California. If you’re a fan of cultivation or growing the plant in any capacity, this podcast is a must-see from start to finish. Rex and Jason have over three decades of combined experience working with herb and have seen it all in terms of visiting and building out custom grow spaces. Bust out the pen and pad for this one and you’re sure to unearth a wealth of knowledge.
