Imo the term " used at scale " is detrimental to the organic movement in general. I think organic should mean we all do our part and not condense the organic approach on a single area. Organic isn't something that you open a bag to get, it's something YOU pick from YOUR yard grown with amendments produced from your yard and you, imo…😎
Love this! Long time grower, 👉 10 years breeding now with rare clone only strains, and F-4 male and I love it, starting my BnT420 Medical seeds biz soon, I have had it with most seed banks ✌️❣️
The upshot is, we just cannot pretend cannabis (or anything else) is really "natural" or "organic" if it's grown under lights connected to coal/nuclear/gas power plants. I see a lot of folks talking about using no-dig and living soil etc techniques indoors and thinking they're awesome and "green"… but they sure don't like to talk about their electric bills and how much water they're going through. :/
Eric: "A good diffuse cover will split the light and actually create more light particles."
I've heard Eric say this repeatedly in talks he's given and he really needs to educated himself on the physics of light diffusion so he ends this misinformation. There is simply no more "light particles" (photons) created via diffusion. None. Zero. Basic laws of physics apply.
Diffusion is merely the act of changing the direction of travel of the photons in a more widely distributed way than previous. In fact, since no reflector or diffuser is 100% efficient, there is always LESS light going out of any diffusion film than coming in and the loss is to heat.
This is not to say that diffusion films in greenhouses are not useful, just not for the absolutely false reason that Eric keeps giving.
Hugelkulture, charged biochar, and Terra perta. That paramagnetism grows better than fertilizer. Even better with fertilizer. Those charged carbons in soil make it black and rich. They hold nutrients and water making the paramagnetism. Like when the plants grow after a storm. The deeper the black rich soil makes better growing. Releasing nutrients and water as needed. Its why some places grow better. Grows trees not bushes literally. Over 400% increase.
The disconnect comes from intent. A large farm generally cares more about profit, quantity, and processing of the end product. Smaller farms tend to be closer to the project. The greenhouse isn't an oil factory, it's a place where human beings grow plants…and thus take more pride in their work. I've got nothing against big farms..but it should be recognized, there is a difference, and it shows.

Amen! Great crew! Much thanks to you all!
Great talk
why you work with big pharmas
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Grow your own. Don't buy from corporate.
Co2 footprint ;))))) these guys are talking about living soil ;))) do they understand how nature works?????
Always diffuse the light baby

Crittered rambling on.
