Welcome to the Cannabis Cautilance Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey of Kiss Organics.

This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of organic growing from a science-based

perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.

I've got some exciting news to share. I've finally been able to release two white papers that are now

available to read

and download on our website. The first one looks at a comparison of living soil methodologies

in relation to plant health and yield in a controlled environment for cannabis. In this trial,

three different living soil recipes were tested and then put under fluence lighting in a

controlled room and yield was documented.

The other white paper looks at a cost analysis of living soil cultivation at different yields

in comparison to the cost of more conventional methods like bottled nutrients or hydroponics.

We'd love to get some feedback from growers on these white papers and hope people will go on the website and check it

out. Just go to our front page, click on blog, and it's the first two articles on there.

I'm hoping this will spark more discussion and research into this methodology as a viable

way of cultivating cannabis and controlled environments and also get some growers to attempt

similar experiments to replicate the results.

Now on to the podcast.

My guest this week is Sarah Pelkofer.

Sarah grew up in a small town in Northern California in the olive growing capital of the U.S.

She got her BA in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Barbara and worked for years for a private

environmental consulting firm writing

environmental impact reports and statements and creating remediation plans for Superfund sites.
