Fog'N'Grow

Cannabis is still heavily stigmatized by the majority of people in society and governments around the world. You'd be fortunate to have someone to teach you about its benefits and most importantly, where to find quality medicine—even if it's your mom!    Super Saiyan Hydro's lucky enough to have his first-hand information about cannabis from his canna-mom. That's pretty cool! He's now using a similar approach with his own children, too.    Sadly, many people are still being kept in the dark about cannabis. And it's sad that a stigma like this still exists today.    Cannabis isn't for everyone—but that doesn't mean there aren't some parts of it that can help. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of ailments. And, while it's not right for everyone, there are plenty who swear by its healing powers.    It's an interesting topic again this week. So, tune in and let's learn more about cannabis, particularly about CBG—what is it? how can it help people with anxiety and depression and where can you get your own?     Super Saiyan Hydro is here to help you understand the basics of this wonderful plant—and hopefully, he can ease some of your fears surrounding it!    Listen to Ben, Tim (@nor.cal.kannabliss), Natty (@nattysknottynursery), and Super Saiyan Hydroponics (@supersaiyanhydro) discuss a wide range of topics in this very special episode! So smoke up and tune in—it's sure to be an unforgettable podcast experience! 

Aaand we are back! This time it's a new episode with our homie, Grower Joe (@BasementGrowShow), who's a new strong voice in the community to normalize cannabis by talking about it openly and honestly.    From his basement, where it all started, he's now able to educate people about his great love for growing throughout his platforms (IG, YouTube, Twitch). Though, there have been bumps along the road, such as the common Instagram shadow-banning, it didn't stop him from sharing the value that growing and consuming this plant can bring.   In this conversation, he talked about a lot of great stuff– from caring about the community to representing genuine companies that make products better for the community and how he first started growing. He also mentions how he first started by growing autoflowers and some really mistakes he made early on. So, if you're thinking of starting out growing autos or photos, listen up for some great tips.   Tune in and listen as Ben, Tim (@nor.cal.kannabliss), Natty (@nattysknottynursery), and Grower Joe (@basementautoflowers) as they cover a lot of ground and give some great advice for beginners. So, grab a seat, a joint, or whatever you prefer, and enjoy! 

When we really have a passion for something, we can't stop talking about it, and we love to spread the word about the enjoyment we get from it. Such is the case with this week's guest, MamajuanaQ, a self-confessed, productive stoner with a huge love for cannabis. Relax and listen to this week's episode, and while you're at it, check her out on Instagram (@Mamajuanaq).   As a canna-mom, smoking trees has helped MamaQ in ways you can probably relate to. Essentially, it helps her maintain focus and chill out despite the chaos around her while being present for her kids (and plants). Additionally, cannabis has promoted a lot of personal healing for this busy mom.   After cannabis was legalized in Oregon, her growing journey really became possible. She started to grow indoors and grows outdoors but has considered acquiring a greenhouse growing as well. There's a lot she has accomplished since legalization.  Come and have a listen as these awesome growers - @mamajuanaq, Cassie (@barelee.growin), Natty (@nattysknottynursery), Tim (@nor.cal.kannabliss), and Ben banter about their experiences with cannabis.  You'll also learn what it's like to be a cannabis grower by listening to some cool stories from this panel as they share some of their awesome experiences with growing! Make sure you don't miss out! 

Hey folks! We're back with the continuation of our conversation about Integrated Pest Management (IPM) from last week's episode.   All growers have their own methods of pest control. Some spray oil-based products on their plants while others have experimented with chili powder. Some growers have even used bleach on their plants... and the list of experiments and trial and error goes on.   But remember, healthy plants are significantly less likely to have pest problems–and pests aren't inherently bad. They are nature's clean-up crew. Don't just wait for anything bad to happen. Wisdom points to taking preventative action which will undoubtedly benefit you in the long run.   While some methods may temporarily rid your growth of pests, you don't want to jeopardize the integrity or health of your plants. So how do you safely and effectively avoid and deal with pests in your garden? The answer is to find a method that works best for your situation.  First, you need to know what type of pest you are dealing with. Once you have identified the specific type of invader, you can proceed with the strategy that is most effective. Do you need to further dial in your environment? Perhaps adding biological controls would help. Or, starting a regular preventative spray routine (such as bi-weekly Crop Defender treatments).  It is extremely helpful to have a general awareness of what pests are common in your environment so that you can take the confident, preventive, action needed to successfully manage pests in your grow.  Come listen as we tackle the issue of how to get rid of pests properly and safely. We'll talk about IPM and a whole lot more on this week's episode with Ben, Natty (@nattysknottynursery), and Tim (@nor.cal.kannablis), here on Fog ‘N Grow! Don't miss out on this episode!

Having pests in your garden, or on your precious cannabis plants, can be devastating. Those little devils can chew on your greenery like they are munching on an all-you-can-eat buffet.  But don't panic! There's a way to deal with it, an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) procedure. IPM is a method of controlling pests, whether they be insects or molds in a way that doesn't harm people or the environment. You don't need to saturate your plant with harmful ingredients.  Do you have cannabis aphids? Are there fungus gnats and thrips feasting on your beloved plants? In this week's episode, we'll dig deeper and discuss exactly how cannabis plants are affected by pests and insects. Tune in as Natty (@nattysknottynursery), Tim (@nor.cal.kannablis) and I talk about these pesky pests and how to fight them with the right IPM.  Tune in for fresh new episodes, here on Fog 'n Grow!   

We're back with the continuation of our last week's episode with Natty (@nattysknottynursery on Instagram), our fine lad from the astounding faraway land, Newfoundland. After describing life in this gem of a place, we dive deeper into how this medicine has helped him. For example, how an edible works well to numb out muscle and nerve pain after a devastating horseback riding accident. For him, even the best flower that's been taken really far in the harvest, with amber trichomes cannot be compared to the pain-relieving effects of edible cannabis.  Also, wanna know about a new cutting-edge technology? A company called Smokenol has extracted and harvested the beneficial aspects of cannabis smoke into edible form. What's more, is that this is immensely valuable for people whose body's don't react well to smoked cannabis. This way, the individual gets a effect of smoked cannabis in edible form.     That's just one amazing fact you'll learn from this week's episode. Prepare yourself for a load of interesting information about this plant that we all love.    Tune in for fresh new episodes, here on Fog 'n Grow! 

As cliche as it goes, there's no place like home. That's what our co-host for this week's episode found in a rather magnificent place, an island out in the Atlantic, none other than Canada's Newfoundland.  Meet Natty (@nattysknottynursery on instagram), our fine gentleman from this astounding faraway land (literally, because you can only take the ferry or plane to get there). Listen as he shares his journey of why he chose to live on the 16th largest island in the world... a glimpse of how he easily adapted to living in this peculiar place with rich, unique culture and traditions.  We touch on how a horseback riding accident led him to use cannabis for physical ailments. And while much is still up for self and scientific discovery, cannabis has also assisted with his ADHD management.  Catch next weeks episode for the second half of this conversation where we dive into all the wonderful and beautiful growing projects Natty has going on from medicinal all the way to mutant genetics.
