This week we sit down with Lee Spivey from Good Earth Organics. Having already been on the show (see episode 44), G.E.O. is a Southern Oregon company that empowers growers and gardeners to consistently and cost effectively grow high quality plants that are healthy for people and the planet. We talk about some soil science including defining living soil, reamending, drainage, different mediums, feeding, using biologicals, autoflowers, and give a brief mention on the Canna brush. Good Earth Organics has been setting standards for Southern Oregon and now being Certified Clean Green, acquiring CDFA, and being OMRI listed is pushing this soil into being a leader in cannabis grows big or small. Grab your favorite flower and sit down with us as we dive into the world of living soil and find out why this organic soil sets the bar for Oregon cannabis, on this week’s The Dirt Show.

This week we bring you Ryan Powers and Joe Ullman from Atlas Seed. Atlas Seed is a company breeding auto flower for full scale production. They do research and development on strains that perform better and have higher THC content. Auto flower has been a source of controversy for growers as it can be hard to grow, under perform, flower to fast/slow, have low THC content, and can suffer in total volume at the end. Atlas provides the knowledge and genetics that is proving everyone wrong. With a commitment and focus on increasing the overall quality of autos, this company has spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to bring you closer and closer to shelf quality auto flower. Listen in as we discuss everything from how to transplant, to what containers to use, even what ratio of nutrients to administer through its life. There are many tips and tricks in here and knowing how to grow an auto is just as important to your success as having quality genetics. Heads Up! At the end as we recap all the good tips, so grab a bowl of that photo flower and join us for everything autos, on this week’s The Dirt Show.

This episode we take a moment and talk about Southern Oregon burning down. In a matter of days, 5 towns get heavy damage from an onslaught of local and regional fires. In fact most of the PNW was engulfed in flames. We lost our dispensary, studio, and several friends lost their homes. The damage was extensive and will take years to recover from. We wanted to chat about it so that people could hear first hand. Don’t stress though because we fit in some grow talk as well. It’s been one hell of a year and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, so sit back, lets get high, talk about fires in our bowls and fires in our forests, and pray the cost of cannabis doesn’t go up.

UPDATE: The fires in our area have been contained and the majority of smoke has dispersed. The evacuation levels have dropped and people have been allowed to get back into the areas of damage to try and sift through the burned wreckage. People continue to be homeless and are still fighting to find places to live.

This week we sit down with Ananda Farms. One of the cleanest and most respected farms in the So. O. We have had many requests and we are proud to release the interview. High Lady Sativa and I sit down to talk about what it takes to bring high quality sun grown flower, what it takes to work with one of the top quality hash makers, and really what it takes to be consistent.

The World’s Last Hope joins us this week to talk about everything Korean Natural Farming, and Modern Natural Farming. You sent in questions, we had them answered, and this guy knows his shit. Much of what we throw away can be used as organic nutrients, IPM, and beneficials. What you don’t have can be grown, and what you don’t grow can be sourced from your local area much cheaper in bulk than making traditional purchases. Add those bennies to the fact that it can be done to scale and compliments closed loop farming, permaculture, and biodiversity makes it a valuable skill and method. Whether you go all in or make a few nutes on the side, check this one out. Links to Last Hope’s full recipes can be found on his IG bio, our bio, and on our website after release.
