  Episode #47

  Steve Mayo from Mitten Canna Co & Rex Gill – E.47

  Sep 24, 20261h 10mS1

  Michigan grower Mitten Gardens has built a cultivation style around simplicity, consistency, and knowing when not to follow the crowd. In Episode 47, we talk about growing in one of the most competitive cannabis markets in the country, keeping a smaller operation profitable, and why good product and the right scale still matter. Inside the grow, Mitten breaks down Toad Venom, why the cultivar performed better under significantly lower PPFD, HPS vs LED, checkerboard lighting, under-canopy lighting, three-gallon coco, once-a-day irrigation, runoff, and why he still prefers reading the plant over chasing sensors and complicated crop steering strategies. We also get into pheno hunting, genetics, Michigan’s caregiver roots, the shift from the traditional market to licensed cultivation, building a team, staying disciplined with money, and why doing more is not always the answer. This one is about keeping cultivation simple, learning what each genetic actually wants, and building a business that can survive when the market gets tighter.

  Terp Mansion & Roach from Jungle Boys – E.45

  Jun 25, 20261h 18m

  Terp Mansion is one of the fastest scaling Youtube channels in the cultivation space. Located in the Emerald Triangle he has expanded from a homestead to a 75,000+ square feet of canopy operation while living onsite with his family. Join Luke as he sits down with We The Growers Podcast and Roach from Jungle Boys to break down what it actually takes to run a cultivation brand growers respect — greenhouse production, LED vs HPS lighting, cannabis genetics, IPM, and scaling a brand from the bench to 80+ retail doors. We get into Terp Mansion and Jungle Boys time in Athena's Crowdsourced R&D program, including a lower-nitrogen feed strategy built to push smoke quality — nutrient timing, EC adjustments, foliar applications, and side-by-side trials that settle arguments theory never can. Cultivation moves forward when growers share what they learn. Then we go straight at the debate every grower has an opinion on: LED vs HPS. Terp Mansion lays out why LEDs have taken over greenhouse production for consistency and yield — and why HPS-grown flower still holds the edge for hash and rosin thanks to bigger trichome heads. On genetics, we talk Gorilla Glue, SFV OG, and why the old-school OG cultivars keep outgrowing the hype-strain cycle year after year. Whether you're a home grower, commercial cultivator, hash maker, breeder, retailer, or cannabis entrepreneur — this one's full of dirt-under-the-nails insight from someone actually building, testing, and growing at scale.
