Summary

Brand new guest Bless Coast Seeds is on the podcast! Tune in to this awesome breeder feature as we enter Cultivar-gust for a whole month of strain and cultivar discussion! Bless Coast talks about what brought him into the world of seedmaking and breeding. He talks about what he focuses on when making selections, and what traits he likes to look for when he's going through extensive hunts. This leads to a conversation about intersex stability, and how much you can or cannot expect a specific strain of cannabis to hold stable and not throw pollen under any environmental circumstances. The boys also discuss the future of cannabis breeding and genetic variation- leading to a conversation about CRISPR and where gene editing could fit into the cannabis breeding world.

So that's what we're doing this month and we're kicking it off with a brand new breeder feature, Bless Coast Seeds. This is a super dope episode. This breeder was suggested by an awesome member. I know you guys are going to absolutely love today's episode. Before we get into it, though, shout out to Next Level Garden Supply Rockford, my favorite garden supply store in the suburbs of Chicago land. We just hosted our amazing soil masterclass there with Queen of the Sun, and it was so awesome. Next Level is the best hydro store out there in the suburbs. They're super, super knowledgeable. It's a small family-owned business. They've got all the products you hear about on this show, all the good stuff they've got on their shelves. Go ahead and check them out. Next Level Garden Supply up on State Street in Rockford, Illinois. I used to drive like 30, 35 minutes just so I could shop at that place. I want to give them their just due because they were awesome hosts. We did the badass living soil masterclass up there. Again, with Queen of the Sun, it was an absolute hit, scoping everybody's soils, diving deep into that. So find them out in Rockford. Find us, of course, at Growcastpodcast.com slash classes.
