Summary

It's Crobe'vember all month long here at GrowCast, and we're focusing on MICROBIOLOGY! Today's guest is Dr. Judith Fitzpatrick from the Microbiometer team (code growcast), and she's here today to dive deep into home microbe testing. Judith starts by talking about her incredible background experience in the medical testing field of all things, and how her many advances in the health field led her down the path of studying soil microbiology and regenerative agriculture. Judith talks about why microbiology is so important to cannabis growers, and she talks about the unique needs of cannabis and how it relates to the soil. She also discusses home testing with the microbiometer, her work with Jeff Lowenfels, and the importance of a robust microbial system in order to achieve a healthy organic garden.
