Cassandra Maffey talks about grow philosophy, practical techniques, and tackling challenges as an organic cannabis grower.
This video is a follow up to the second installment of our new event series "It's Alive" hosted in Denver, Colorado.
Are you eager to learn more about living soil cultivation?
The "It's Alive" meetup is your one-stop shop for learning the basics of living soil cultivation.
Each month will have a guest speaker who will talk about the latest advancements in living soil cultivation. Before the talk you'll have an opportunity to network with other growers and our guest speaker. Be sure to bring questions!
Over the course of this series, we will talk about soil, nutrients, microbes, pesticide treatment, and lots more.
Our goal is to provide a platform where cultivators, caregivers, consumers, business owners, etc. can all come together to discuss the future of how clean, high-quality cannabis will be grown. We welcome beginners to advanced growers along with anyone else who is eager to learn more about living soil cultivation.

Such a warm, balanced and well informed presentation. Many thanks to you Cassandra

Cassandra almost cried because her plants came out of the closet lol. Joking. Great presentation. Cassandra seems like an awesome person to be around. Her level of compassion for living things is rare.

I was going to send an email and ask her to write a book on these subjects but it's all here. Granted it's an evolving process as more information is learned but everything she is trying to get across is all right here. Just need to watch the whole video and take notes.

[@sean19]

That was a great presentation. Unfortunately I use chemicals but would love to grow organically. Just need to learn whats what and find that happy medium when I make the switch .

[@garrettb72]

A grassroots 4x8 fabric raised bed, fill it with subcools "super soil" or similar. Down to Earth brand amendments work wonders. Use a gravity fed tote with blumat watering carrots. Plant clover and alfalfa as a cover crop or just add amendments every harvest. Stop growing weed, let the weed grow itself.

[@maizevagastien8399]

[@1Chynablac]

So with living soil do you have to flush it like using synthetic nutrients?

[@fuckgoogleandyou8779]

Depends on how much so called organic nutrient solution you used. Or in my case top dress.

[@laconflo1613]

I use KNF inputs with my living soil and cover crops as well. I do not flush. I do not use a Ph meter either never a problem.

[@1Chynablac]

Lacon Flo kNF?? What is that?

[@1Chynablac]

Fuck Google And You so you still flush even with top dressing?

[@laconflo1613]

@@1Chynablac Korean natural farming. It utilizes indigenous micro organisms found in your area that you cultivate and multiple. It utilizes fermented plant juice and oriental herbal nutrients like angelica..turmeric..ginger.. Cinnamon bark.. Garlic..licorice root. You make your own water soluble calcium from egg shells. Water soluble phosphorus from charred bones and brown rice vinegar. Make your own fish amino acid. Check out Chris Trump and Drakes KNF KZbin channels. It is really fascinating stuff.

YA GOTTA REMEMBER IF YOUR IN A SOIL YOU NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTING ORGANIC MATTERS BECAUSE ITS ALL ABOUT THAT CLOSED LOOP .MICROBES NEED FOOD THATS HOW THEY MAKE NUTRIENTS .SOME MICROBIALS ARE OR INTENCE POPULATIONS DO MORE RAPID BREAKING DOWN AND THEN STABILISE POOULATIIN .YIU NEED THAT BALLANCE BETWERN THE TWO .IF YIU DONT ADD ORGANIC INPUTS ADDING MICROBES WILL JUST EAT YOUR SOIL RAPID.

Oh if your feeding organic liquids they like it to be limed.

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Companion planting and cover cropping is what nature does so make your target crop species a part of natures way and your good to go. Or make your own composting amendments in the same way and add to your field plots. Either way your culturing tge substrate either in situe or not insitue .canabis seem to like really well composted stuffs. Kelps bloody good stuff especially combined with old oak leaf. Rock minerology also. Think like a microbe or a fungi think like a plant and you will get those results. She talks sence pay atention. Ive had some of the best resukts in just seaweed and oakleaf compost with a turf loam with rock mineral in the turf loam thats it. Feeding a little microbial unfemented as a breakerdowner and activator youve already got tge worm catings in tge turf loam .safe

[@MrBraffZachlin]

i saw in another vid of yours that you are very adament about the guano being from a sustainable source, any thoughts on a whole agriculture industry being forced indoors under lights and how sustainable and responsible that is? because to me it seems hypocritical as a master grower making the money you make to pretend to care about sustainablility when your money comes from an industry wasting power for no reason other than fear mongering? basically what i want you to admit is you have compromised your princinples regarding responsible sustainable resources simply by being a profiteer in this business that demands electricity as a light source in 80+% of cases.

[@rareroots]

Braf sounds like the adult "little" DL. He asks a perfectly legitimate question. Growing indoors is a huge waste of resources when nature provides us with sun, the perfect light source for all photosynthetic plants, and it's FREE. Illegality forced growers to hide indoors.It's all about the money folks. Babylonian greed.

[@trinkladd]

Indoors grows are profit based 6-12 harvest a yr. they can break everything down to a science and get repeated results. It is all about profits. A sustainable method includes large green houses. With complimentary lighting in winter. And of course black out screens. It could be done. But they gain security and obscurity in warehouses. If I had the money I’d find land with a large flowing lake or stream. And build a 30 kw hydro turbine generator. I have the knowledge but not the finance

[@abisailmurillo124]

@@trinkladd 30kw hydro generator would be awesome! That would put you at probably 20 1k lights and 10kw put pumping, fans, dehumidifiers whatever depending on your goals. As for wasting energy I mean we have tons of it.. we have natural gas being flaring off in insane amounts, like hundreds of kw's worth if recycled. We need to run off the coal train and build more hydro maybe solar some wind where appropriate. We think we're low on electricity, I pay 4.5c per kw. Pretty low. Businesses here can pay like 2.0c per kw/h. The rest of the hydro energy from our state Is just sold down to cali cause Shell practically owns the whole shabam. We have tons of energy going around the country being sold off. Its all just a game baby
