Potent Ponics Steve is back on the show! Our good friend returns from Thailand to do some gigging around the US while Thai politics and turmoil shakes out in the cannabis industry. Steve tells us stories from his time doing large scale soil grows in Thailand. He talks about the different strains that he got to observe and experience while traveling the Thai countryside, and he talks about the different profiles he experienced as well as the interesting local names. Steve discusses the struggles of growing in the Thai setting, with heavy pest pressure from insects like thrips and more. This leads to a conversation about IPMO, or indigenous predatory micro organisms, and how we can utilize the natural pest devouring microbes found all around us. Steve wraps the show by diving into soil microbiology in general, and where he thinks many growers hold misconceptions.
