Growing Genetics The Best Way Possible In Your Climate! (Garden Talk #119)

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Stephen Raisner, many of you know him as Potent Ponics. He has been on the podcast once before, episode 64, where he talked all about Aquaponics. Well I got him back on the podcast, this time talking about growing genetics the best way possible in your climate. Stephen has grown in several states across the US and several countries around the world; so he has a lot of experience growing in different climates and he reveals a lot of great information that relates to this topic. What plants do you like to grow? Corn, alfalfa, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, rosemary, bok choy, onions, citrus trees, house plants, let us know in the comments section below.

Thanks to Stephen Raisner for coming onto the podcast today!

[PotentPonics]

Thanks again for having me on was a blast

[lucasnon]

Steve is awesome! When he talks, listen up bc he is a real OG with unlimited knowledge

[camz]

What a wealth of knowledge. Had me enthralled the entire time. It was really interesting hearing about Stephen's experiences from all over the place. Natural farming methods are the way of healthy sustainable agriculture in the future. Pesticides and herbicides are slowly killing us, harming the environment, and destroying biodiversity. I can't wait until these techniques become commonplace in large-scale agriculture. Fantastic episode!

[unifromhokkaido]

Best episode so far! Very informative. This is freaking awesome.

[jvh]

Great show guys much thanks and respect from Cape Town

[Mccloud]

Mind blown! Ok, wow, wow, wow, ❤. This turns my genes on! Thank you both!

growing outdoors at Lat 55N, we have to cross breed our own varieties to get good finishers .

[walterjones]

Doobies, lunch, and knowledge = Saturday afternoons 🪴🛸

[Tony-opxf]

My sunset sherbert X Durban poison def handles high heat very well.

[IntoTheFire]

The thrips feeding only on the pistils is very interesting. I'm going to do an outdoor grow this year and I'm going to incorporate lots of Yarrow, Alyssum, Lavender, and Chamomile.

[BluntSociety]

Shout out to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and South Africa 🇿🇦 that’s were I’m from and I’m showing some insane grows- there’s definitely really great strains here guys and we are glad to have been decriminalised 6 years ago🎉

[MrMcflanigengaming]

Blueberry is the best landrace I’ve ever smoked. It grows great outdoors

[ls]

I appreciate you highlighting women’s knowledge and importance in the industry!

[bro_hymn_gardens]

Hey I would like to know what is your prospective on xtreme gardening azos I’m new to indoor gardening and would love your input about them

[TonyisToking]

Black lights at night to spot pests is so dang smart. Even just waiting for a full moon probably helps. Probably an ancient technique right there. Coming from experience in indoor commercial facilities it’s fascinating to hear techniques for farming outdoors. So many things you’d probably never think of indoors that could still be applicable.

[hungryplant]

Thanks for the bug and rice recipe, cannabis is a different crop altogether, you cant wash it and its smoked. It needs to be grown as organic as possible. I think people will have less trouble if they respect the plant a little more.

[Tony-opxf]

GDP also revenges fairly easy and can be regrown after partial harvest 23:33

[kenmcrae]

The Ducksfoot strain is another mutant line.

[edwardhayes]
