*This episode dropped 4/11/22, there was a distribution issue that has since been resolved!* The one and only Dr. MJ Coco from www.cocoforcannabis.com swings by the podcast for another informative episode just in time for Educational April! Today the good doctor is educating us on the challenges of scaling up a cannabis grow. The challenges that a gardener faces when scaling up from a small home tent grow to a large scale facility are numerous and complex. Dr. Coco dives deep into maybe the biggest difference: labor. This leads to a huge conversation about agricultural labor, and how the cannabis industry tends to operate when it comes to setting up grows and implementing folks to run them. The boys also talks about materials, and the cost differences in certain grow strategies- like replacing your grow medium, or switching nutrient lines. Dr. Coco also, of course, discusses grow lights- focusing on the future of the technology and what we can expect from light manufacturers in the coming years...
