    Regenerative Cannabis Farming and Spirituality with Swami

    What’s in the interview? Thanks for taking the time to talk with me. Care to introduce yourself? 

    You have a very interesting story. Can you tell us about your journey from East Coast Academic to Cannabis Holy man?

    Significant event lead to this? How long were you in San Francisco? Can you describe the cannabis scene back then?

    Where else have you traveled? How did cannabis fit into your journey?

    Based on your extensive travels - How do people outside of the US view cannabis differently than we do?

    What lessons can we learn from them? How common is personal cultivation in the places you’ve lived?

    Let’s talk about regenerative farming… What is it? Advantages? Does it lend itself to organic growing methods?

    How does cannabis fit into your spirituality? How can it help others in terms of spirituality?

    You talk about the “Spirit of Cannabis” and trying to drive awareness back to the plant… What should we be aware of?

    Is the Spirit of Cannabis found through growing? How has growing cannabis affected your spirit?

    You have a cannabis brand, Swami Select. Can you tell us about it? When did you start the brand?

    Do you implement the regenerative farming techniques you mentioned?

    How does the brand tie into your beliefs about the spirit of cannabis? What’s next for Swami?

    Anything else you’d like to mention that we didn’t get a chance to talk about?

    Hawaii Weed with the Notorious BIG: Big Island Grown

    Hawaii Weed with the Notorious BIG: Big Island Grown

    What’s in the interview? Thanks for joining me. Care to introduce yourself to the audience?

    How long have you been growing? You lived in Alaska prior to Hawaii? Any opinions on Alaskan Cannabis?

    When/Why did you relocate to Hawaii? How did you transition from houseplants in Alaska to cannabis in Hawaii?

    Did you plan to enter the cannabis space? Tell us about your facility build-out Old banana farm

     Why indoor? In a place with a year round growing season? Challenges Any bureaucratic hurdles?

    Hawaii is understandably concerned about invasive species and has very strict rules on products coming in and out -

    Does this affect your ability to get the supplies and equipment you need?

    Will these requirements present any potential roadblocks to Hawaii based growers expanding into other states in the future? Big Island Grown is a vertically integrated company - how many licenses? What strains are you growing?

    I understand you are a nearly 100% sustainable indoor grow - Tell us more about the sustainability components of Big Island Grown Is this something other growers are trying to implement?

    You also have an in-house microbial test lab - pretty rare for a cannabis company:

    What made you decide to set up your own lab? What are the biggest microbial issues for Hawaii growers?

    How do you deal with the microbial & pest issues that come with cultivating in the sub-tropics?

    History of Hawaii cannabis culture; what’s the reasoning for this? Is there a lot of public interest in the recreational market? Future of Cannabis in general? Will the feds ever legalize? What’s the timeline in your opinion?

    What is the biggest challenge in getting not just the country, but the world to support the cannabis plant?

    Any new projects you’d like to discuss? Expansion? New Products? Anything else you’d care to mention?

    Cannabis or other crops as well?

     Sostanza/Canna Cribs consulting? 

    Talk about your contribution to the book. 

    The chapter opens up with a warning about “ineffective post-harvest procedures…”

     Can you elaborate a bit on which specific procedures/techniques growers might get wrong or not KNOW they should be doing? 

    A question we see on the GN forum a lot is about timing of your harvest, growers wondering how they know when their plants have reached maturity and are ready for harvest.. 

    What’s your recommendation? 

    Trichome heads? 

    Go by a calendar? 

    What are some of the factors that can influence maturing times?

     Cultivar difference, Environment, controlled stress, 

    Flushing 

    What do we mean by controlled stress?

     What are the techniques and how far can a grower go without applying too much pressure?

     Let’s talk about trimming…! 

    From your experience consulting… 

    Is bucking necessary? 

    What advantages does it offer the grower? 

    Is this more of a strategy for collecting biomass for processing?

     Do you see a benefit of hand trimming over machine or vice versa? 

    What’s the ideal use case for each? 

    Same with Wet vs Dry trim? 

    Speaking of dry trimming, let’s just explore the drying process a bit… 

    How can a grower mitigate spoilage in drying? 

    What types of problems are going to “Crop Up” in a poorly executed drying process? How does this relate to preserving the quality of your cannabis? What are your recommended parameters? 

    There are many ways to dry a plant… 

    What’s the best way to measure your moisture content? 

    What are some different methods you’ve seen? 

    Hang Drying? Any specific advantages or disadvantages?

     Screen Drying Any specific advantages or disadvantages? 

    Whole plant dry versus cuttings? Any specific advantages or disadvantages? More growers are using technology to help dry their plants. 

    Can we talk about… 

    Conveyer drying?

     How does this work?

     Freeze Drying? How does this work?

     Do you risk drying too quickly? 

    Vacuum Oven Drying How common is this method? How does it work? 

    We’ve seen growers who combined dry and cure, and even a few who would say curing is unnecessary - 

    What are your thoughts? What makes a “good” cure? 

    What kind of abiotic variables need to be considered when curing? 

    What’s your recommended method for curing? 

    OK, you we did all this work to make sure we had the best post-harvest period possible for our plants - what’s the best way to store it? C-vault style container? 

    Mylar? Something else? 

    Anything else you’d like to talk about that we didn’t get to mention? 

    Future plans? Consulting work? More books? ________________________________________________________________________________

    What’s in the interview? 

    How long have you been working in Cannabis? You are writing a book chapter on Canopy Management, it’s not out yet, but we got a sneak peak. I’d love a basic primer on canopy management - How would you sum up the importance of proper canopy management and the effects it can have on your crop? What do people forget/get wrong/neglect when it comes to managing their canopy? What kind of factors need to be considered? Can you give us a brief rundown and then we can dig in a little deeper? Physiological Factors Light Interception Is a flat canopy enough? Leaf area Index What is it? Different for different plants? How do you measure it? What’s the best Leaf Area Index for cannabis? Shade Avoidance What is this? What is the overall impact on the plant? How does proper (or improper) canopy management affect the plant growth? Ultimately, a primary goal of canopy management is to increase yield and potency How else can canopy management benefit the final product? I came across something in my reading and I’d like to know more about the Source/Sink relationship? Does it differ during different stages of the plant life cycle? What is it and how does canopy management affect it? We’ve talked to a lot of growers about airflow, but it’s usually in the context of disease prevention, and I’ve not come across something quite as granular as you’ve written about. Can you explain the importance and then go more into detail about the boundary layer and how it’s thickness affects physiological processes? Is there any correlation between airflow and increased yield? Or is it ultimately about pest and disease prevention? As we wrap up, what are your goals with Canna Cribs Consulting? Are there any projects you have going currently that you’d like to tell us about? Is there anything we didn’t get a chance to discuss that you’d like to mention?
